DESCRIPTION

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Yeast Bread/Rolls (not sourdough)

INSTRUCTIONS
Maida Heatters Cinnamon Rolls

1 c mashed potato
¾ c milk, warm (or buttermilk)
½ c sugar
¼ c butter, cut up
½ tsp. Salt
4-1/4 c flour
1 envelope dry or 20 grams fresh yeast
1 tsp. Vanilla, optional

Heat milk with butter until butter starts melting and the mixture is warm but not hot.
Mix together in large mixer bowl: potatoes, salt, sugar, vanilla, milk butter mix , stir in flour and yeast , knead about 8 minutes by mixer until a soft but not sticky dough forms. Let rise until doubled, punch down and proceed as for cinnamon buns.

Notes: the original recipe gives another direction and uses 1 cup milk, but this is what works for me.
