METHOD: Baked
TIME: Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 35 min.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup hot mashed potatoes
- 1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- FILLING:
- 1-1/3 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons cream
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
- Confectioners' sugar icing, optional
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and mashed potatoes. Add water and yeast; mix well. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, combine filling ingredients and set aside. Stir dough down; mix in butter, eggs and salt. Gradually stir in flour. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 12-in. square. Divide filling and spread over each square to within 1 in. of the edges. Roll up jelly-roll style. Cut each roll into nine slices. Place in a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden. Drizzle with a confectioners' sugar icing if desired. Yield: 18 rolls.
