Refrigerator Potato Dough

Dough Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Fermentation Time: 1 hour
Baking Time: 10 to 12 minutes
Yields: 3 lb., 12 oz. dough, 3 dozen rolls (1 3/4 oz./48g); OR 3 dough pieces (11/4 lb/565g)

6 1/2 – 7 cups unbleached all-purpose flour*
1/2 cup warm water (95°F.)
4 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast**
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 cups milk, scalded, cooled
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup mashed potatoes, unseasoned***
2 large whole eggs or 3 medium whole eggs
1 1/2 tsp. citrus zest, optional

* For whole grain option, replace 4 cups (16 oz.) all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour
** Fast-rising or instant yeast may be used. Combine yeast with flour; combine water and milk (72°F); add together
*** 1 small potato, white, yellow or sweet; cooked, peeled and mashed, or equivalent potato flakes or flour

Mix warm water, yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in small bowl. Set aside 5 minutes. Heat milk in microwave until steaming hot (190° F.) Pour milk into large mixing bowl; add butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt; mix. Cool to 8O° F or cooler. When milk mixture is cooled, stir in dissolved yeast, mashed potatoes and eggs. Gradually add 4 cups flour (if using whole wheat flour, add it first). Beat at medium speed 3-5 minutes until smooth. Cover bowl and let dough rest 15 minutes. Mix in remaining flour until dough forms a rough ball. Place dough on lightly floured surface; knead about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic OR mix with dough attachment on medium speed until dough cleans the bowl, about 7-10 minutes. If dough is too dry, mix/knead in 1-2 tablespoons water. Target dough temperature: 78° F. or cooler. Place dough into large greased bowl; turn dough; greased-side up. Cover bowl with sealing lid or put dough in a very large (2 gallon) plastic food storage bag sprayed with non-stick spray. Force air out and seal bag leaving room for dough to raise. Refrigerate dough, deflating dough after about an hour; round dough into a ball, smooth side up. Refrigerate until ready for shaping; dough will keep in refrigerator one to three days; deflate dough again if needed. Divide dough into thirds (1 to 1 1/4 lb. each) and shape each into a smooth ball. Cover to rest 5-10 minutes. Sculpt each 1 to 1 1/4 pound piece into a dozen rolls, a loaf or braid, snail or buns using Dough Shaping 101 guide. Follow oven preheating and baking instructions for each product. Bake Loaves at 350° F. for 25-30 minutes. Bake Rolls at 375° F. for 12-15 minutes (190-210° F. at center)
