• This potato bun Recipe is so easy to make.We are going to make potato buns in FIVE SIMPLE STEPS.

1.PREPARE THE POTATO BUN DOUGH

• To prepare the potato bun dough,we are going to mix together all the dry ingredients in a bowl.

  The Flour,Sugar,Yeast,Salt and whisk them together to make sure everything is evenly distributed in the flour.

  Add into this,Water,Egg,and the mashed potatoes.

  This Potato bun Recipe does not require any kneading.So just mix everything together until you get a homogenous bread dough.

  Mix everything together;and if you find it difficult to mix everything together using a wooden spoon,feel free to use your hands to prepare a homogenous potato bun dough.
• If you are using a stand mixer,

  In the bowl of a mixer, combine flour,yeast,sugar and salt . And then add the wet ingredients ,the butter,water and egg.

  Add the wet mix to the flour mix. Beat with the whisk for 30 seconds on low, then for 3 minutes on high.

  Switch to the dough hook and add the remaining flour, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a ball.

2.FIRST PROOFING

• Cover the dough with a plastic film and Let that dough sit in a warm environment to rise.As mashed potatoes boost this process,the dough will get doubled in size in about 90 minutes.

3.DIVIDE AND SHAPE THE DOUGH

• Degas the dough and then transfer this onto a floured work surface.This dough is a very sticky dough and so you may need to add more flour at this point.But Keep in mind the fact that the more flour can make the potato bun dense and not soft.So use flour in a way just enough to make you handle the dough and shape them into round balls.

  I made them into the shape of a square,so that it is easy for me to divide them into equal portions.Divide them into quarters and then again divide,to get almost equal sized pieces.

  Shape each piece of dough into small round balls.Tuck in the edges towards the center and then roll them into a round ball.

  Place them on a greased baking tray or baking tray lined with parchment paper.

4.SECOND PROOFING

• Let the dough balls sit and rise for the second time until they get puffed up.It may take around 35 minutes.

  Before taking them into the oven,give them a good egg wash(1 egg beaten+1 tablespoon milk).Which will give them a shiny and golden brown crust, the they are baked.

5.BAKE THE POTATO BUNS

• Bake them at 350F preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.

  Baking time may vary according to the size of the rolls.If You shape them in a different size or shape,keep in mind that Smaller rolls get baked fast.

  I place the tray in the lowest rack of oven ,so that the crust get browned slowly and the inside will get baked properly.

  Happy Baking
