Step 1

Start by combining warm water, milk, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer and give it a good stir until the sugar melts. Let it rest in a warm place while you’re preparing the rest of the ingredients.

Step 2

Now add the egg, salt, melted butter, and mashed potato into the mixer bowl with the yeast mixture. Whisk it all together with a hand whisk.

Step 3

Next, add half of the flour into the mixture, and mix using the dough hook attachment on low/med speed.

Step 4

Add about ½ cup thereafter while the dough is mixing. After the flour is mixed in and the dough is not getting stuck to the spatula or sides of the mixer bowl that’s a good indication that your yeast dough is well mixed.

Step 5

Finally, cover a mixer bowl with plastic wrap, and puncture a few holes with a knife so the dough can breathe. And then place it in a warm place for an hour to proof.

Step 6

Alternatively, you can mix in the flour and then knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface till you get a soft dough. Once it’s done, place it in a lightly greased bowl and let it proof.

Step 7

After the dough is done proofing, you’ll notice that it has tripled in size. Gently knock the dough down using a silicon spatula or your hand.

Step 8

Next, grease baking pans with olive oil. Divide dough into 24 to 30 equal sizes. I like to weigh the dough, but this is optional and you can also eye it.

Step 9

Then, dip your hands in olive oil and take one piece of dough. Fold then roll the dough into a ball and place it onto the greased baking pan.

Step 10

Repeat the same instructions for the rest of the dough pieces. As I mentioned above, you can make 24 to 30 rolls depending on the size you prefer.

Step 11

Cover each pan with a cloth and let them proof for about 15 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Place the pans into the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown in color.

Step 13

Remove from the oven, let the rolls cool down a little and then brush them with olive oil using a silicon brush. Next, sprinkle sea salt or garlic powder and finely chopped parsley on top!
