Purple Candy Potato Sourdough Milk Rolls

I discussed in my cake submit that I used to be making purple candy potato sourdough milk rolls, right here they’re.  Using a stiff candy levain to scale back the bitter tang as soon as once more and including a tangzhong to make sure fluffiness and to delay staling.  These turned out very well.  I really like the color of the smooth shreddable crumb together with the small blisters on the crust.  For comfort I did a chilly retard on the finish of bulk so I might begin these the day earlier than our dinner celebration after which bake them the day of.

24 rolls in a 9 x 13” pan 

egg wash: 1 yolk and 1 tbsp milk, crushed…

Put together the stiff candy levain in a single day or the day earlier than and refrigerate when prepared.

Put together the butter paste by mixing very smooth butter with flour.

Cook dinner Tangzhong mixing flour and milk always till it turns into a thick roux.  Let cool earlier than including to closing dough.  Or add to chilly milk and egg to chill it down.  Add the levain and break it up into small items along with your spatula.  Add and dissolved IDY if utilizing.

To combine by hand, add the flour to the moist substances (milk, tangzhong and egg) to dissolve.  Subsequent add the flour and blend with a silicone spatula till no dry flour stays.  Relaxation 10-20 minutes.  Subsequent carry out French folds till the dough is properly developed.  Smear the butter onto the dough after which fold to include after which carry out additional French folds till properly developed.  Step by step add the mashed potato and knead to include it properly into the dough.  Kind into a good ball and place in a bowl lined with plastic or a moist fabric @ 82°F for 3-4 hours, some rise shall be seen. Alternatively, you may combine the mashed potato and butter after which add the combination to the developed dough till properly included.

Butter a big baking pan or line the pan with parchment.  Punch the dough down after which divide into 24 equal parts.  Kind every into tight boules.  Place within the buttered baking pan seam aspect down.  Cowl them and permit them to totally proof about 4-6 hours, they need to go the poke take a look at.

About 30 minutes earlier than the tip of proofing time, whisk your remaining egg and milk after which brush the small boules.

About 30 minutes prior to finish of ultimate proof preheat the oven to 350°F. 

Instantly previous to baking brush the dough once more with the egg and milk combination.

Bake the rolls uncovered for 30-35 minutes or till the interior temperature is at the very least 190F. Cowl in case your rolls get brown early within the baking course of.

Take away the bread from the oven however not the pans, brush the tops with the melted butter whereas scorching, after which let cool for 10 minutes earlier than pulling the bread from the pans. Chances are you’ll want to slip a butter knife down the perimeters of the pan to loosen the bread, however I’ve discovered parchment paper to be pointless.  Sprinkle with fleur de sel if you want after brushing with butter.
