FEATHERBED ROLLS - FARMER'S ALMANAC



Featherbed Rolls - Farmer's Almanac image

There are lots of "feather" bread or roll recipes, or those that use leftover mashed potatoes. This is an oldie, goody, and keeper! The key ingredient is not just the potato, but the potato WATER that the potato was boiled in. The starches help to create a light, fluffy bread or roll. This recipe is from The Farmer's Almanac. Just a side note: breads made without sugar will not brown. You will have a white roll, which, at one time, was a desirable trait (white, light & tender).

FEATHER BED ROLLS

A yummy and simple recipe we made in a local cooking class I took a couple years ago. Recipe is from the instructor Fabienne Ratkov. If you're afraid to work with yeast this is the recipe for you!

Provided by ReeLani

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 packages active dry yeast (2 tbs)
1 1/4 cups warm water (Fabienne always said it should be warm "like a comfortable bath")
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Grease a couple of 12-count muffin tins.
  • Combine yeast and water in a large mixing bowl and let it sit a few minutes to dissolve.
  • Add sugar, salt and egg.
  • Add flour gradually and beat well.
  • Add butter.
  • Fill greased muffin tins half full.
  • Let rise in a warm place uncovered until level with the top of the pans (although I admit to having loosely covered mine sometimes).
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • The last time I made these I think I got 18 roll/muffins.
  • Your yield will, of course, vary depending on how much batter you put in each section of the muffin pan.
