Method
 

Build Potato Rolls Step by Step
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, honey, and softened butter. Sprinkle in the yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant potato flakes.
  3. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add two of the eggs (beaten) to the wet mixture. Gradually add the dry ingredients, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Once risen, punch the dough down, divide into about 12-15 pieces, shape into balls, and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Cover the shaped rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the rolls. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Let the rolls cool on a wire rack. Best enjoyed warm!
