POTATO BUNS (BREAD MACHINE)

Potato Buns (Bread Machine) image

This is a simple potato bread recipe, mixed in a bread machine, that makes one dozen hot dog or hamburger buns, or could be used for rolls. The crust bakes very light brown, and the bread has a very smooth texture inside. These are egg-, milk-, and soy-free, which is nearly impossible to find in store-bought buns. These freeze very well for later use, and pre-sliced frozen buns defrost easily in a toaster or microwave. Preparation time assumes 5 minute ingredient assembly, 50 minute single-rise dough cycle, 5 minute dough shaping, and 15 minute rise.

Place shaped dough on a large baking sheet that has been covered with parchment paper. This makes for very easy removal and clean up!

This is our family favorite bun recipe. It can be used to make hamburger buns or dinner rolls. Try using different flavor instant potatoes to flavor the buns. I usually use the roasted garlic flavor but buttery or three cheese flavor is also good!

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pkg fast-rise yeast
1 2/3 c water (105-110 degrees)
2 Tbsp sugar
4 c bread flour
4 Tbsp instant potato flakes
3 Tbsp oil
1 tsp salt
butter for buttering tops of buns when removed from oven

Steps:

1. Put water, sugar and yeast in bread machine pan. Let stand no less than 10 and no longer than 15 minutes to proof the yeast. Do not omit this step as it will insure that your yeast is working!
2. Once your yeast has proofed,add the flour, instant potato flakes, oil and salt to the bread machine pan.
3. Set bread machine to the dough cycle, close the lid and let the machine do the work. Check the dough when it is about half way through mixing. You may need to add a tablespoon of warm water if the dough seems dry.
4. Once the dough has risen, shut off bread machine and dump the dough into a bowl sprayed with non-stick spray. Spray your hands with the non-stick spray and divide dough in half. Divide each of the two balls of into two or three pieces. You will now have 4 or 6 balls of dough. Divide each ball of dough into three pieces and form into a bun. You will have 12 or 18 balls of dough to form into buns.
5. Place formed buns on a greased cookie sheet. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise until doubled in size--it may take up to 30 minutes depending on how warm your kitchen is.
6. While the buns are raising on the pan, preheat oven to 350. When buns have doubled in size, remove the towel and put the pan in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or light golden brown.
7. Once they have baked, remove from oven and turn out onto waxed paper lined rack or counter top to cool. Brush the top of each bun with butter and let cool. I use about a 2 tablespoon size piece of butter and hold it with waxed paper and just lightly rub the butter over each bun.
8. Let cool if you can wait that long and enjoy! I find that if my kids are around when they are baked, I have to stand guard over the buns so there are some left!

Tips:

Use a bread machine with a dough setting for best results.
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before adding them to the bread machine.
If you don't have potato flakes, you can substitute mashed potatoes or instant potato flakes.
If the dough is too wet, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it forms a smooth ball.
If the dough is too dry, add more milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it forms a smooth ball.
Be sure to grease the bread pan before adding the dough.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Potato buns made in a bread machine are a delicious and easy-to-make bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or simply served with butter and jam. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have fresh, homemade potato buns that are sure to please everyone at the table.
