Ingredients

Dough

  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour (plain flour)
  • 2¼ teaspoons (7 g) instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon (6 g) salt (use 1¼ teaspoons if using unsalted butter)
  • 1 Tablespoon (12 g) brown or white granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain mashed potato, cooled
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm milk
  • 2 Tablespoons (30 g) butter, melted

Garlic Butter

  • 3 Tablespoons (45 g) salted butter, melted (or unsalted butter + a pinch of salt)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 small garlic clove finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
Instructions
  • Flour mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
  • Potato mixture: In a separate bowl or measuring jug, whisk together the mashed potato, warm milk, and melted butter until mostly smooth.
  • Combine: Pour the potato mixture into the flour mixture. Stir with a spatula or dough whisk until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  • First rise: Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 50–60 minutes, or until puffed and about doubled in size.
  • Lightly flour your work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and lightly dust the top with flour.
  • Roll the dough into a rectangle about 10 x 12 inches (24 x 30 cm).
  • Cut the dough into 4 strips from the short side, each about 2½ inches (6 cm) wide.
  • Cut 5 rows in the other direction, about 2½ inches (6 cm) apart, to create 20 square pieces.
  • Transfer the squares to a lined baking tray, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) between them.
  • Second rise: Cover loosely and let rise for 20–25 minutes, or until slightly puffed.
  • Bake at 350°F (180°C / 160°C fan) for 17–20 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through baking, until lightly golden.
  • Garlic butter: While the rolls bake, stir together the melted butter, garlic powder (or grated garlic), parsley, and salt if using.
  • Brush the garlic butter over the hot rolls as soon as they come out of the oven.
