Yeast Hot Rolls
Makes 3-1/2 dozen
3 tablespoons instant potato flakes
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons active dry yeast
6 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
1. Pour the boiling water over the instant mashed
potatoes and set aside. Scald the milk with the oil and
1/2 cup of the sugar. Add The 1/2 cup very warm water
and the teaspoon sugar to the yeast and set aside.
2. Add the potatoes to the milk mixture. Start adding the
flour, then eggs, one at a time, beating with a mixer or
dough hooks. Add yeast mixture and all but 1 cup of the
remaining flour and salt.
3. Use the reserved 1 cup of flour for kneading. Knead the
dough for about 5 minutes on a floured board. Place the
dough in a large greased bowl, being sure to grease top
of dough also. Cover dough with plastic wrap then with
a double piece of foil. Refrigerate or let rise once and
make into rolls. If made at night knead down dough
before going to bed.
4. Once dough has risen once, punch down and shape into
about 3 1/2 dozen rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased
baking dish and bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for
about 15 to 20 mins.
