Best 7 Potato Buns Recipes

SWEET POTATO BUNS

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well. Mash sweet potatoes with a potato masher. Measure out 1 cup and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate remaining mashed sweet potatoes for another use.
• Whisk 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup warm water, and yeast together in a bowl. Cover and and place in a warm place to allow yeast to activate, about 15 minutes.
• Spoon 1 cup of cooled mashed sweet potatoes into yeast mixture and transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add egg, melted butter, honey, and sea salt and about 3 cups flour. Mix using the dough hook. Knead for 2 to 3 minutes. If dough seems too sticky, gradually add in remaining flour or as needed to where dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl. Continue kneading until dough is very soft, only slightly sticky, and somewhat elastic, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer dough to a floured surface. Shape into smooth ball. Return dough to bowl and drizzle with oil; rub oil over entire surface to prevent dough from drying out. Cover and place in a warm spot until dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press out air pockets. If needed, use only enough flour to keep dough from sticking. Press into rectangular shape about 3/4-inch thick. Cut dough into 16 equal sized pieces. Gently shape each piece into a ball. Slightly flatten each ball and place onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat. Let rise until double, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk 1 egg and 1 teaspoon water together in a bowl. Brush each bun with egg mixture. Sprinkle dough with sesame seeds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

POTATO BUNS

Steps:

• Mix together well the sugar, potatoes, lard, eggs, and salt.
• Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup warm water; then add that to the above mixture.
• Stir in about 3 cups flour. Add the remaining 2 cups flour while kneading. Knead until the dough is no longer sticky but moist.
• Let rise until doubled.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Roll out dough to a 3/4 to 1-inch thickness. Cut into bun shapes with a jar or doughnut cutter (or cloverleaf or crescent-shaped cutter) and pour on greased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Let them rise until puffy but not doubled (they should not be touching).
• Brush with milk. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 12 minutes.

POTATO BREAD AND BUNS WITH POTATO STARCH

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients well and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Knead for 5 to 8 minutes and tip onto the counter dusted lightly with flour.
• Stretch the dough into a rectangular shape and fold it letter-style top to bottom and side to side.
• Place in an oiled straight-sided container and cover with plastic wrap. After 15 minutes, stretch and fold the dough again and return to the container.
• When the dough is twice it's initial size, remove from bowl and on lightly floured surface, divide into 10 pieces weighing 85 g each (approximately).
• Round each piece on the counter by pressing down as you circulate your hand in a counter-clockwise direction until the piece is a smooth ball.
• Press each dough ball flat with floured hands, repeating as needed over the next 10 minutes and place on a pan or sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cover with oiled plastic and let proof for about 30 minutes or so until the dough has risen about 1 1/2 times it's volume.
• Brush with egg wash if desired and bake for 7 minutes.
• Rotate pan and bake for 7 more minutes until 190F internally.
• Cool buns on a rack until room temperature.

POTATO BUNS (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Add the ingredients in order to bread machine pan.
• Set on dough setting.
• After first rise, remove dough (do not let it rise a second time in the machine!).
• Divide dough into 12 equal parts (or more, depending on the size bun you need).
• To shape hot dog buns: roll dough between hands until roughly the diameter and length of a hot dog.
• To shape hamburger buns: flatten dough ball into roughly the shape of a hamburger.
• Place shaped dough on a large baking sheet that has been covered with parchment paper. This makes for very easy removal and clean up!
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Allow dough to rise for 15 minutes while oven preheats.
• Bake buns for 15-20 minutes, or until tops turn light golden brown.
• Allow buns to cool slightly before slicing.
• Buns may be frozen.
• To defrost, toast in a bagel-friendly toaster or microwave for approximately 20 seconds.

BREAD MACHINE POTATO BUNS

Steps:

• 1. Put water, sugar and yeast in bread machine pan. Let stand no less than 10 and no longer than 15 minutes to proof the yeast. Do not omit this step as it will insure that your yeast is working!
• 2. Once your yeast has proofed,add the flour, instant potato flakes, oil and salt to the bread machine pan.
• 3. Set bread machine to the dough cycle, close the lid and let the machine do the work. Check the dough when it is about half way through mixing. You may need to add a tablespoon of warm water if the dough seems dry.
• 4. Once the dough has risen, shut off bread machine and dump the dough into a bowl sprayed with non-stick spray. Spray your hands with the non-stick spray and divide dough in half. Divide each of the two balls of into two or three pieces. You will now have 4 or 6 balls of dough. Divide each ball of dough into three pieces and form into a bun. You will have 12 or 18 balls of dough to form into buns.
• 5. Place formed buns on a greased cookie sheet. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise until doubled in size--it may take up to 30 minutes depending on how warm your kitchen is.
• 6. While the buns are raising on the pan, preheat oven to 350. When buns have doubled in size, remove the towel and put the pan in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or light golden brown.
• 7. Once they have baked, remove from oven and turn out onto waxed paper lined rack or counter top to cool. Brush the top of each bun with butter and let cool. I use about a 2 tablespoon size piece of butter and hold it with waxed paper and just lightly rub the butter over each bun.
• 8. Let cool if you can wait that long and enjoy! I find that if my kids are around when they are baked, I have to stand guard over the buns so there are some left!

• 4. Cover tightly; place in refrigerator until ready to bake. ( will keep in fridge overnight but place in a very large bowl and cover tightly as dough rises in fridge.) OR; after kneading thoroughly , skip refridgeration and pinch off dough and form into small rolls of desired shape. Place 2" apart on greased baking sheet.. Brush with melted butter.. Cover, let rise in warm place til doubled in size about 2 ( or more) hours. Bake in hot oven( 400° 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned..makes 2 1/2 dozen, ( if you form small rolls..) or about 1 1/2 dozen large rolls..
