- 2.5 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 7/8 to 9/8 cups lukewarm water
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups nonfat dry milk
- 0.5 cups instant mashed potato flakes
Instructions
Step 1
<a href="/PXKXVQTM">Dissolve </a><a href="/HF7TLMS7">yeast </a>with a pinch of sugar in 2 tablespoons of the lukewarm water. Let the <a href="/HF7TLMS7">yeast </a>and water sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, until the mixture has bubbled and expanded.
Step 2
Combine the <a href="/PXKXVQTM">dissolved </a><a href="/HF7TLMS7">yeast </a> with the remainder of the ingredients.
Step 3
<a href="/7S3QCKWK">Mix </a>and <a href="/FZZDJ42W">knead </a>everything together till you've made a smooth dough.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl.
Step 5
Cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise, at room temperature, until it's nearly doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. <a href="/QQ76YPF6">Rising </a>may take longer, especially if you've kneaded by hand.
Step 6
Give it enough time to become quite puffy.
Step 7
While the dough is <a href="/QQ76YPF6">rising,</a> lightly grease two 9" round cake pans, or a 9" x 13" pan.
Step 8
Gently deflate the dough, and transfer it to a lightly greased work surface.
Step 9
Divide it into 16 pieces.
Step 10
Shape each piece into a rough ball by pulling the dough into a very small knot at the bottom, then <a href="/LTNN8R88">rolling </a>it under the palm of your hand into a smooth ball.
Step 11
Place eight <a href="/LTNN8R88">rolls </a>in each of the round cake pans (or all 16 <a href="/LTNN8R88">rolls </a>in the 9" x 13" pan), spacing them evenly; they won't touch one another.
Step 12
Cover the pan(s) with lightly greased plastic <a href="/X75YQJ6B">wrap,</a> and allow the <a href="/LTNN8R88">rolls </a>to rise till they're very puffy, and have reached out and touched one another, about 1 hour.
Step 13
While the <a href="/LTNN8R88">rolls </a>are <a href="/QQ76YPF6">rising,</a> <a href="/H3S4YV46">preheat </a>the oven to 350°F.
Step 14
<a href="/RNT367Z2">Bake </a>the <a href="/LTNN8R88">rolls </a>until they're a deep golden <a href="/D434P8MH">brown </a>on <a href="/R34ZSY3M">top,</a> and lighter on the sides, about 25 minutes.
Step 15
Remove the <a href="/LTNN8R88">rolls </a>from the oven, and after 2 or 3 minutes, carefully transfer them to a rack.
Step 16
<a href="/Y6MVNCHX">Serve </a><a href="/FVYNJCCW">warm,</a> or at room temperature.
