Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mashed potatoes (unsalted, cooled)
- 0.5 cup Milk (warm, around 100°F/38°C)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large Egg
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
Instructions
Add the mashed potatoes, warm milk, softened butter, and egg to the bread machine pan.
Layer the flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring it covers the liquids completely.
Sprinkle the sugar and salt on opposite sides of the flour layer.
Make a small well in the middle of the flour and add the instant yeast.
Set your bread machine to the dough cycle and start. This typically takes 1.5 hours to knead and rise the dough.
Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a floured surface.
Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized portions and shape them into smooth balls.
Place the balls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each to rise.
Cover the buns lightly with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped gently on the bottom.
Remove the buns from the baking sheet and let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
