Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ cup mashed potatoes room temperature
  • 1 ½ sticks butter softened
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup fresh herbs finely chopped (you can use all of one kind or a combination; I used equal parts of chives, basil and rosemary to equal ¼ cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 5-6 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 large egg combined with 1 tablespoon water for wash
  • sea salt

Instructions

  1. Warm milk to 110-115˚F. Add yeast and sugar and stir to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes or until mixture begins to get foamy.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, mix together mashed potatoes, butter, eggs, honey and salt. Mix on medium speed for about a minute. Add fresh herbs and yeast mixture then mix on low speed until blended.
  3. Gradually add flour (one cup at a time) until a soft dough forms. Switch to the dough hook attachment on the stand mixer and knead for about 10 minutes at low speed adding a little more flour a little at a time until the dough leaves sides of bowl while being kneaded.
  4. Place dough in a large bowl that has been greased with olive oil. Cover bowl with a kitchen towel and place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size.. Punch down dough and divide into approximately 48 equal size pieces. Shape into round rolls and place rolls about 1 ½ inches apart on parchment paper lined or greased baking sheets or roll each piece into a 10" rope then form into a coil (like a sleeping snake). Place coils into a well-greased muffin tins. Brush rolls with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Let rolls rise until doubled in size. Bake in a preheated oven set at 375 degrees for approximately 15-20 minutes or until golden.
