For the Baking Partners recipe challenge this month, Swathi
gave us two recipes for dinner rolls along with seven shapes to try. One recipe
is from the King Arthur Flour’s Website. The recipe is quite interesting as it
has potato flakes in it. As we don’t’ get potato flakes here, she suggested
using mashed potato instead. I halved the recipe and tried it. I also made
three shapes – Rosette / Kaiser Rolls, Knot Rolls and Lion House Rolls. The
rolls were so soft and had a soft crust. It tasted buttery and was so
delicious. There was a slight hint of the potatoes and that increased the
taste.

Instant Yeast-1 tsp
Mashed Potato-2/3 cup

Knead it for 10 minutes until elastic.
Cover and keep it aside until double. It is now ready for shaping.
Rosette / Kaiser Rolls
These are cute looking rolls. I have seen videos for shaping these rolls but never tried it. Swathi gave a video link for reference. I watched two to three times before trying it. It was quite easy to prepare and the result was good. But I need to improvise it.
It is easier if you follow the step wise pictures. I tried to write it in words but it was so confusing. So I am just giving you a collage for reference. The video showing the making of kaiser rolls can be viewed here.
Knot Rolls
Knot roll is very simple. It is just like how we knot a thread.
The collage shows the step wise knotting method.
Lion House Rolls
Swathi has given a video for the preparation of these rolls. But my dough was slightly softer and was tough to handle. So I just rolled the dough into a thin disc, cut it out into rectangles and rolled it like a jelly roll instead of making it as shown in the video. Still I got lovely rolls.
The measurement of the rectangles are taken using the length of index finger and thumb. Place your hand as shown and cut out rectangles. Then roll each rectangle into a roll. Arrange them in a tray, allow it to rise. Brush with milk and bake.
