Potato Buns Bread Machine Recipes

BREAD MACHINE POTATO BUNS

Steps:

• 1. Put water, sugar and yeast in bread machine pan. Let stand no less than 10 and no longer than 15 minutes to proof the yeast. Do not omit this step as it will insure that your yeast is working!
• 2. Once your yeast has proofed,add the flour, instant potato flakes, oil and salt to the bread machine pan.
• 3. Set bread machine to the dough cycle, close the lid and let the machine do the work. Check the dough when it is about half way through mixing. You may need to add a tablespoon of warm water if the dough seems dry.
• 4. Once the dough has risen, shut off bread machine and dump the dough into a bowl sprayed with non-stick spray. Spray your hands with the non-stick spray and divide dough in half. Divide each of the two balls of into two or three pieces. You will now have 4 or 6 balls of dough. Divide each ball of dough into three pieces and form into a bun. You will have 12 or 18 balls of dough to form into buns.
• 5. Place formed buns on a greased cookie sheet. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise until doubled in size--it may take up to 30 minutes depending on how warm your kitchen is.
• 6. While the buns are raising on the pan, preheat oven to 350. When buns have doubled in size, remove the towel and put the pan in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or light golden brown.
• 7. Once they have baked, remove from oven and turn out onto waxed paper lined rack or counter top to cool. Brush the top of each bun with butter and let cool. I use about a 2 tablespoon size piece of butter and hold it with waxed paper and just lightly rub the butter over each bun.
• 8. Let cool if you can wait that long and enjoy! I find that if my kids are around when they are baked, I have to stand guard over the buns so there are some left!

POTATO BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to bread machine in order listed, or as recommended by your bread machine.
• Select desired setting and press start.
• I make this using the basic cycle and the lightest crust setting.

CRUSTY POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select White Bread Cycle; press Start.

POTATO BUNS

Steps:

• Mix together well the sugar, potatoes, lard, eggs, and salt.
• Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup warm water; then add that to the above mixture.
• Stir in about 3 cups flour. Add the remaining 2 cups flour while kneading. Knead until the dough is no longer sticky but moist.
• Let rise until doubled.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Roll out dough to a 3/4 to 1-inch thickness. Cut into bun shapes with a jar or doughnut cutter (or cloverleaf or crescent-shaped cutter) and pour on greased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Let them rise until puffy but not doubled (they should not be touching).
• Brush with milk. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 12 minutes.

HOMEMADE POTATO BUNS

Steps:

• Put the potato in a medium saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 18 minutes. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup potato cooking water. Let the water cool until lukewarm (90 to 100 degrees F).
• Use a ricer or food mill to puree the warm potato into the bowl of a stand mixer. (You can also mash with a masher; just make sure to get the potatoes very smooth.) Add the butter, honey and salt to the warm potatoes and stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add 1 egg, the yeast and the lukewarm cooking water. Mix with the dough hook on low speed to combine.
• Add 3 1/2 cups of the flour and mix on low to combine. Knead on medium-high speed, adding up to 1/4 cup more flour, if needed, to make a smooth, slightly sticky dough that forms a loose ball on the dough hook, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the dough onto a floured countertop and knead a few times to make a smooth ball. Oil a large bowl, add the ball and turn to coat. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Punch the dough down. Dust a clean, flat work surface with flour. Turn out the dough and cut it into 8 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, pinch the dough under itself to form a ball. With the pinched side down, cup your hands under the dough and rotate on the counter to form a smooth ball. Use one hand to roll the ball into a 4-inch-long oval roll. Place on a lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining balls of dough. Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise until light and airy looking, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Place an oven rack in the lower and upper third positions. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• When the dough has completed the second rise, beat the remaining egg with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl and gently brush the rolls with the egg wash. Sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake, rotating from top to bottom and back to front halfway through, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Rolls can be made a day ahead. For longer storage, wrap and freeze.

POTATO ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• Mix milk, mashed potatoes, shortening or butter (see Cook's Note), sugar, and salt together in a bowl; add yeast mixture and egg. Stir 2 cups flour into the milk mixture until incorporated. Stir in remaining 2 cups flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat all sides of dough with oil. Cover bowl and put in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down and shape into a ball. Cover the bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
• Shape dough into 24 rolls and place onto prepared baking sheets; let rise until dough springs back when you touch the side of a roll with your fingertip, about 25 to 40 minutes.
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

POTATO BREAD
