There are too many potatoes in the larder so I am using some to make potato bread rolls. I usually use this recipe to make bread loaves but today I am in the mood for making bread rolls instead, some of the rolls will go to a friend who I am expecting to arrive later today.
The recipe is Portuguese in origin, just one of the many cultural influences in our cuisine.
Potato Bread Rolls
Makes 24 rolls
Ingredients
500 g cooked mashed potatoes
900 ml lukewarm water
1.5 kg plain flour
20 ml salt
15 g instant yeast
Method
Preheat the oven to 220C and grease two baking sheets.
Start by blending together the mashed potato and warm water until smooth.
Place the flour salt and yeast in a bowl, make a well in the centre and add the blended potato mixture and work it into the dry ingredients until everything comes together, then turn the dough out onto a well floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place until double in size. Knock the dough back and divide into four equal portions, then pinch off pieces of dough roughly equal in size and form into plump sausage shapes. Arrange on baking sheets, leaving enough room for the rolls to rise during baking.
Leave to rise again until nicely plumped up, dust with flour, pop into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 220C then reduce oven temperature to 180 C and continue to bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. He rolls should have a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
yummy!

What a great recipe – have never made bread like this. So straightforward – bet it´s amazing!
I’ve never tried potato bread, but I love potatoes & I also loved your seed & fruit loaf. I make a loaf every week, it’s my breakfast! Maybe I’ll get to try some potato bread soon, we are coming to Cape Town in 9 days time, I really can’t wait. So many gorgeous restaurants to try….
Enjoy Cape Town, the weather is acting like its summer, hopefully it will be perfect when you visit. I’m pleased to read that you are enjoying my seed loaf; it’s a lovely recipe and one which you can adapt with different ingredients. Take care Kate
