Preheat the Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake: Once risen, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and, if desired, sprinkle with sea salt or sesame seeds. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cooling: Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them again with melted butter for a soft, flavorful crust. Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Tips for Success:
Mashed Potatoes: Use plain mashed potatoes without added milk or butter to prevent altering the dough’s moisture balance.
Yeast: Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. Instant yeast allows for a quicker start, but active dry yeast can also be used; just proof it in the lukewarm water with a pinch of sugar first.
Kneading: Proper kneading is key to developing the gluten, which gives the rolls their light, airy texture.
