Best 3 Cheddar Potato Rolls Recipes

CHEDDAR POTATO ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup warm water (105 degrees F to 110 degrees F) and the yeast in a medium bowl; let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Sift 1 1/2 cups flour over the yeast; stir until mostly smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size with large bubbles on the surface, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prick the potato all over with a fork; microwave until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then peel the potato and grate on the large holes of a box grater. Combine 1 stick butter, the sugar, salt and mustard powder in a stand mixer; beat with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs and grated potato until combined, then beat in the yeast mixture and 1 1/2 cups cheddar until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually beat in the remaining 2 1/2 cups flour until the dough starts coming together in a soft, sticky ball. (You may not need all of the flour.) Gather into a loose ball and transfer to a lightly oiled bowl; turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 24 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, dusting with flour as needed, and arrange in the baking dish, slightly touching. Set aside until the rolls are lightly puffed, about 20 minutes.
• Lightly oil a sheet of foil and loosely cover the rolls, oiled-side down. Bake until just firm to the touch, about 30 minutes. Uncover, brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar. Continue baking until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 20 more minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before serving.

POTATO CHEDDAR ROLLS

Steps:

• In bowl of a large (5-quart) standing electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment stir together water, milk, sugar, and yeast and let mixture stand until creamy, about 5 minutes. While yeast is proofing, in a small saucepan melt butter over moderate heat and cool slightly. Stir salt, garlic powder, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 cups Cheddar into yeast mixture. Leaving skins on potatoes, coarsely shred enough potatoes on large holes of a 4-sided grater to measure 2 cups and immediately stir shredded potatoes into yeast mixture.
• Add 2 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, to yeast mixture, beating after each addition until incorporated. Attach dough hook to mixer and butter hook. Beat in 2 more cups flour, 1 cup at a time, and enough remaining flour, a little at a time, for dough to begin to clean side of bowl and beat dough on medium speed 8 minutes. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and if necessary knead in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft but not sticky dough. Oil a large bowl and add dough, turning it to coat. Let dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Butter a 13 x 9 x 2-inch metal baking pan. Punch down dough and turn out onto a work surface. Cut dough into 24 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Arrange balls in pan, touching each other. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter until warm and brush over tops of rolls. Sprinkle rolls evenly with cornmeal. Let rolls rise, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature until almost doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
• While rolls are rising, preheat oven to 400°F. With a razor blade or sharp knife make a shallow slash in top of each roll and bake in middle of oven 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375°F. and sprinkle rolls evenly with remaining cup Cheddar. Continue to bake rolls until tops are golden brown and crisp and rolls are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. If necessary, loosely cover rolls with foil during last 5 minutes of baking to keep from becoming too dark. Rolls may be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely before being wrapped in foil and kept at room temperature. Serve rolls warm or at room temperature.
