It’s Thursday! Yesterday was a busy, crazy day which left me away from the site. I was looking forward to sharing another Easter worthy recipe, like these Dilly Potato Rolls. These rolls are not gluten free and I have yet to see whether I can adapt this using gluten free flours. But if gluten laden rolls don’t bother you, you’re going to love this one. These were rolls made by the Baron’s mom, Marnee. I rave about the recipes she prepares because they are always so good. Especially this one. Dilly Potato Rolls are speckled with fresh dill in a soft, tender crumb made with potato flakes and a crisp crust, perfect with a slathering of butter…
The Baron is definitely a meat and potatoes kind of guy… and next to potatoes, he’s got to have some bread. Marnee, his mom, makes such wonderful breads and this was something she prepared over the past holidays. It’s a breadmaker recipe, making it easy to put together. I really like the presentation of these rolls because they are knotted before baking and come out in such beautiful shapes. You can adapt this by using any other fresh or dry herbs such as rosemary, basil, thyme or a combination. The use of potato flakes lends to a soft and tender texture!
Dilly Potato Rolls
recipe from Marnee, adapted from AllRecipes
Dough:
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water (70 -80º)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water (70 -80º)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons non-fat dry milk
½ cup instant potato buds or flakes
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon fresh dill
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
1 ½ teaspoons bread machine yeast
Eggwash:
1 egg, lightly beaten
Measure all dough ingredients. Place into bread machine in order suggested by manufacturer.
Process on dough/manual cycle. Remove prepared dough; if necessary, knead in additional flour to make dough easy to handle.
Divide dough into 12 or 18 pieces; roll each piece into a 10 inch rope.
Coil rope, tucking under end. Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet(s). Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Brush tops with lightly beaten egg and bake at 375º for 15 to 20 minutes or until done.
* This recipe can also be used to make bread. Place ingredients in bread machine and process on bread setting.
I'm a sucker for anything with dill. Making homemade bread is on my bucket list- and now even moreso!
Gotta love potato rolls! I never thought to add herbs to them – dill was a great idea!
Oh yum! Fresh dill sounds fantastic! I've never seen a recipe like this (we're not big into bread) but this would be perfect for Easter brunch with guests! Thanks!
love these rolls!
I love homemade rolls… all of 'em, pretty much, but when it comes to potato rolls I'm especially nutty. And the dill? Brilliant!
Fresh bread makes me weak at the knees!
These look dill-icious!
These are so gorgeously golden! THere's nothing like homemade rolls for a holiday dinner.
These look wonderful! I have one question 🙂
The first line says "Measure all ingredients except egg and toppings"
I am assuming the toppings are the herbs? And if yes, when do you add them (it doesn't say in the instructions…)?
Just making sure. I think I might add these ingredients to my shopping list and whip up a batch of these for this weekend.
I wonder if you could sub diced, roasted garlic for dill…mmmm 🙂
I absolutely love your ingredients. These sound so soft and fresh!
@Cindy – thanks for asking! I clarified a bit and all dough ingredients (which is everything listed in the ingredient list except the lightly beaten egg) are to be combined and placed into the bread machine per manufacturer's directions.
I just love potato rolls! They are hard to resist and the addition of herbs takes it over the top.
How perfect would these be for Easter?!?! I love them!
There are no gluten issues in my family so it's awesome to find a recipe that looks so amazing and is full of the stuff. 🙂
Love that you threw dill into these rolls! Delicious!
