Addition of potato in this recipe made it super soft and fluffy. The bread itself is light and soft. This taste delicious with some soups.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Why are my rolls hard?

Here are some of the reasons rolls can come out hard and flat. if your yeast is not activated, then dough wont rise and the bread will be hard. Over baking can make your rolls hard. Also not letting the dough rise enough also makes it hard.

Can you over knead dough?

If you think you've over-kneaded the dough, try letting it rise a little longer before shaping it.

What happens if I don't knead my dough enough?

Letting the dough rise for too long makes the structure of the bread weak, so it can't support itself.
