Whole Wheat Potato Bread Or Rolls Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT & POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• In stand mixer or other large bowl, add whole wheat flour, potato flakes, buttermilk powder, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.
• Add softened butter, water, and eggs. Attach dough hook to mixer and mix on low speed until moistened. Add enough flour to make a soft dough (dough should come away from sides and cling to hook when using a stand mixer). Add water or flour as needed. Knead at manufacturer recommended speed 7 to 8 minutes or until elastic.
• Transfer dough to lightly oiled bowl, or add oil to stand mixer dough and coat dough. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or cover and let rise in a warm area until double in bulk (1 to 1.5 hours).
• For loaf bread, divide dough in half and use your hand to flatten each piece into a 6 x 10 or 7 x 9 rectangle. Tightly roll up each piece and place in coated loaf pan. For sandwich rolls, divide dough into 16 pieces and shape as desired. Cover and let rise 30 to 60 minutes or until double in bulk.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) Bake loaf bread 40 minutes and rolls about 20 minutes or until browned. Internal temperature should be between 190° to 200°F (88° - 93°C). Remove from pan and cool loaf bread 30 to 60 minutes before slicing.

WHOLE WHEAT DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Bring 3/4 cup whole milk and 3/4 cup water to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add butter; stir until melted. Attach instant-read thermometer to inside of pan; let milk cool until thermometer registers 120°F to 130°F.
• Meanwhile, combine 3 cups flour, potato flakes, dry milk powder, sugar, yeast, and salt in large bowl; whisk to blend. Add warm milk mixture. Stir to blend; mix in egg yolk. Knead mixture in bowl until dough comes together (dough will be sticky). Turn out onto floured work surface and knead until very smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky, adding more flour by tablespoonfuls as needed, about 8 minutes. Place dough in buttered bowl; turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then kitchen towel. Let rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Butter 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan or small baking sheet. Turn dough out onto floured work surface and divide in half. Knead each piece lightly until smooth. Cut each dough half into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into almost smooth ball. Arrange dough rounds in 4 lengthwise and 4 crosswise rows in prepared pan, spacing about 3/4 to 1 inch apart (rolls will not fill pan). Cover shaped rolls with kitchen towel and let rise in warm draft-free area until rolls have almost doubled in volume and have expanded enough to touch each other, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Gently brush rolls with egg-white glaze, then sprinkle generously with oats. Bake dinner rolls until light golden brown, about 28 minutes. Let rolls cool in pan 5 minutes, then pull rolls apart and cool on rack at least 15 minutes.
• A LITTLE AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cool rolls completely, then wrap in foil and let stand at room temperature. Rewarm foil-wrapped rolls in 350°F oven about 10 minutes, if desired, or serve at room temperature.
• FURTHER AHEAD: Can be made and then frozen up to 2 weeks ahead. Wrap in foil, then place in resealable plastic bag.
• *White whole wheat flour is milled from 100 percent hard white wheat. It contains all of the germ and bran (and nutritional value) of regular whole wheat, but has a naturally lighter color and milder flavor. It's available at some supermarkets and specialty foods stores and from kingarthurflour.com.

WHOLE GRAIN POTATO DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Prep and Mixing
• Make sure you have at least 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes, whether leftover, made just for this bread, or pulled from a dish you plan to serve later.
• Whisk the dry ingredients (flour, yeast, salt) in a bowl.
• Heat the milk so it is warm enough to melt the butter. Add the honey, butter and mashed potatoes to the milk, allowing mixture to cool to under 95F.
• Combine the dry and wet ingredients until fully incorporated, and then knead by hand for 3-4 minutes. If you had thin mashed potatoes or thirsty flour, and your dough is stiff or sticky-wet, adjust the hydration with additional milk or flour.
• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it.
• First Rise
• Let the dough rise until it is about doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. (See the end of the instructions for sourdough timing.)
• Dividing and Shaping
• Divide the dough into 14 pieces if you're using two 9" round cakes pans, or 15 pieces if your using a 9x13" rectangular pan.
• Roll the dough into balls and place them in your lightly greased pan(s).
• Lightly brush the rolls with milk and cover.
• Final Proof and Baking
• Let the rolls rise for about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat your oven for about 20 minutes at 375F.
• Brush your proofed rolls with milk again and sprinkle them with sesame seeds and crushed rosemary if you want.
• Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes.
• Remove the pan(s) from the oven and brush the rolls with butter to keep the outside soft.
• Serving and Reheating
• Serve after they have cooled 10 minutes. If you are serving later, let them cool completely, then cover them. Reheat the rolls just before serving by warming them in the oven for a few minutes or microwaved on a plate for a few seconds.
• Sourdough Version
• The bulk fermentation could be anywhere from 8-15 hours depending on your room temperature. At 67F, my dough took 12 hours.
• You can expect your final proof to be about 3-6 hours. In a warm (mid-80s) lit oven, my dough took 3.5 hours, but at cooler temps, you may need about twice that time.
• (The dough expansion shown in the the photo gallery during both rises applies to both the yeast and sourdough versions.)

WHOLE WHEAT POTATO BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Add the ingredients to the breadmaker in the order given or per your machine's instructions. Do not mix the ingredients, just layer them. Make a depression in the top of the flour to hold the yeast.
• Depending on how wet your mashed potatoes are, the recipe may take up to 1/8 cup less water. So, watch it carefully after it has been mixing for awhile and add more flour or water as needed. It should be a soft, formed ball that is not sticky.
• Use the whole wheat setting on your bread machine.
• Enjoy!
