T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies

My grandmother believed a meal was not complete without bread, and I would blissfully enjoy at least 3 or 4 of her potato rolls. She used oil and dairy, so I’ve adapted the recipe to make my own tasty and easy version of Granny’s famous potato rolls.

Ingredients

  • 2¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp instant (rapid-rise) yeast
  • 1 cup warm unsweetened non-dairy milk (rice, soy, almond, etc.)
  • 1½ Tbsp maple syrup
  • 6 Tbsp cooked mashed potatoes

Instructions

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Set aside.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, mix together yeast, milk, and maple syrup. Set aside for 5-10 minutes, until a light foam forms.
  • 3. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the wet mixture and mashed potatoes. Mix together until a soft dough forms. Place dough on the counter and knead for 1-2 minutes.
  • 4. Divide dough into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a 9 × 13-inch nonstick baking pan (touching is fine). Cover and leave in a warm, draft-free place to double, about 1 hour.
  • 5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 6. Uncover and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
