• Place on dough setting for a 2 pound loaf.
• Preheat oven to 325°F and use a lower rack setting.

ITALIAN-STYLE ROLLS

Steps:

• Place the kneader attachment onto the stand mixer.
• Proof the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 3/4 cup water for 10 minutes or until foamy.
• In the stainless steel mixing bowl place 3-1/2 cups flour, salt, 1 tablespoon sugar and melted butter.
• When the yeast has proofed add to the bowl along with 3/4 cup warm water.
• Start kneading adding in more flour only if needed (total kneading time should take about 8 minutes) do not add in too much flour or the buns will be heavy, when finished kneading the dough should feel soft but semi-sticky and smooth and should stick to your hands only slightly when removing from the bowl.
• Remove the dough to a very lightly flour-dusted surface; cover with clean tea towel and let rest 5 minutes.
• Shape into a ball (the dough will come together nicely after resting).
• Place into a large greased deep glass bowl.
• Cover and let rise for about 60-90 minutes.
• To check if the dough is ready to be punched down, very gently stick two fingers about 1/2-inch into the dough, the dough is ready when the finger marks remain.
• Punch down dough and slice in half.
• Slice each half into 4 even pieces.
• Shape each piece into a round ball.
• Place balls spacing well apart onto a 10 x 15-inch greased baking sheet (2 balls across and 4 balls down).
• Cover and let rise 30-40 minutes.
• Bake at 375 for about 22 minutes or until light golden brown.

ITALIAN MEATBALL BUNS

Steps:

• Let dough stand at room temperature until softened, 25-30 minutes., Cut each roll in half. Wrap each portion around a meatball, enclosing meatball completely; pinch dough firmly to seal. Place on greased baking sheets, seam side down. Cover with kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 1-1/2 to 2 hours., Preheat oven to 350°. Bake buns until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Brush tops with oil; sprinkle with cheese and basil. Serve with marinara sauce.

EASY SOFT DINNER ROLLS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl add the water and sugar, stir, then sprinkle the yeast on top, let sit for 5 minutes then stir to combine.
• In the bowl of the stand up mixer whisk together the flour and salt, make a well in the middle and add the mashed potatoes and oil. Start to knead on low then add the yeast mixture and continue to knead on low/medium speed for about 3-4 minutes or until dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl (rolling the dough to lightly grease it, this keeps the dough from drying out), cover the bowl with plastic and a clean dish towel. Place in a warm draft free area and let rise 1-2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and form into balls. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, cover and let rise for about 30-60 minutes.
• Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
• Bake the rolls for approximately 15-20 minutes. Brush with melted butter once baked, eat warm or room temperature. Enjoy!
