  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped (optional)

Equipment Needed

  • Electric mixer (optional)

  • Baking sheet

Preparation Steps

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Peel and boil the potatoes until fork-tender. Drain and mash until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

  2. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, melted butter, salt, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.

  4. Add Egg: Beat the egg in a separate bowl and add it to the potato mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.

  5. Add Flour: Gradually add 4 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add more flour as needed until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Step 2: Knead and Rise

  1. Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  2. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

  1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Crumble into small pieces.

  2. Combine Filling Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese (if using), and chopped green onions (if using).

Step 4: Shape the Rolls

  1. Punch Down the Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.

  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.

  3. Add Filling: Sprinkle the bacon mixture evenly over the dough.

  4. Roll Up: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.

  5. Cut into Rolls: Slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased baking sheet or a baking dish lined with parchment paper.

Step 5: Second Rise

  1. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until they have puffed up.

Step 6: Bake the Rolls
