How to Make Wish I Made More Yeast Potato Lem Orange Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water, 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 1/2 cup mashed potatoes (cooked and cooled), 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1 tbsp lemon zest to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
  3. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Add 2 large eggs and beat until well combined.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, adding additional flour as needed to form a soft, smooth dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but not overly wet.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Gently punch down the dough. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions.
  8. Roll each portion into a 9-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick.
  9. Brush each circle with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  10. Cut each circle into 8 equal wedges.
  11. Roll each wedge up, starting from the wide end and tucking it into a crescent shape.
  12. Place the rolls, points down, on a greased baking sheet.
  13. Brush the tops of the rolls with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  14. Let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.
  15. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  16. Let the rolls cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
  17. **To Freeze Dough:** Shape dough as directed through step 13. Place on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Transfer to a freezer bag, seal, label, and freeze. To bake from frozen: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then proceed with steps 14-16, adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
  18. **To Freeze Baked Rolls:** Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, label, and freeze. Thaw on the counter and reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
