Preparation Steps

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer whisk together the yeast and water. Whisk in the sugar, oil, salt, eggs, and the mashed potato flakes if using.
  • Add the flour and knead for 6 minutes over low speed. Rest the dough for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer dough onto a floured surface and cut into 4 equal pieces. Cut each piece in half again to make a total of 8 pieces. Gently pat and roll into a 12-inch log.
  • Spray the tops with water.
  • Dredge into the Italian Herb Blend.
  • Place rolls onto Silicone Sub Roll Mats and score the tops (3-4 slashes).
  • Allow dough to rise until tripled in size (up to 1 hour if rising in a warm place).
  • Sprinkle the tops with shredded Colby and Monterey Jack Cheese. Bake for 15-18 minutes at 375°F. Cool in molds before removing.
