flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat adds fiber and nutrients.

Heat milk to 100°F (37°C) and add dry active yeast to activate it.

In a stand mixer, combine bread flour, salt, white sugar, and brown sugar.

Add cooked and mashed potatoes to the dry ingredients.

Incorporate 1 egg and 1 egg yolk into the mixture.

Slowly drizzle in the yeasty milk mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Add softened butter gradually until incorporated; the dough will be sticky.

Flour the work surface and shape the dough into a ball, lightly kneading it.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and let it rise for about 2 hours until doubled in size.

Portion the dough into 110-gram pieces and shape them into balls.

Place the balls on a parchment-lined sheet tray and let them proof for another 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Brush the rolls with an egg wash (1 beaten egg with 1 tablespoon water).

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Brush the baked rolls with melted butter before serving.
