The outline of this icebox rolls recipe jogged my memory of these well-liked delicate, candy Hawaiian rolls however a lot much less candy. That is what first drew me to the recipe. I additionally take pleasure in baking with potatoes, because it often ends in a pillowy, and sometimes forgiving, dough. (Which was true! Learn on.)
Tender all through with a touch of butter-iness they’d be fabulous for breakfast, used for sliders, even savory bread pudding! The choices are infinite, however thus far we’re blissful simply slathered in butter. (You can even eat them as is, actually!) As a result of we like just a little salt, I used Maldon atop the egg wash. This added just a little further taste punch.
My potatoes have been fairly moist which resulted in having to make use of about an additional cup of flour. At first I used to be involved the dough could be too robust and never rise correctly however fortunately that wasn’t the case – in all probability due to all of the potatoes and further moisture. Even after kneading it for longer than indicated (10 minutes), the dough was nonetheless just a little cheesy however I didn’t wish to add extra flour. I had deliberate to undergo the primary rise and if I had issues I might dump the dough and begin over. Fortunately, each the primary and second rise have been excellent! I did use extra bench flour for shaping the rolls, however this didn’t hurt the dough in any method.
As a substitute of heating the milk and butter on the range, I used a 4-cup measuring cup and microwaved on 20% energy for two minutes, then 40% for one minute. It was heat sufficient to dissolve the sugar and salt. This made it simple to measure every thing and it took lower than 4 minutes. To assist cool it, I added the 118 ml of water, then whisked within the eggs to mix.
To assist with making ready the rolls, I might undoubtedly advocate utilizing a scale to make sure the whole batch is even, particularly with this many rolls. I did be taught that the subsequent time I make them I’ll both halve the recipe or freeze a number of the dough for future batches. I do plan on freezing as many rolls as I can discover room for and giving the remainder of them away, particularly to those that have already requested them.
