I halve the recipe (using two eggs and enough additional flour to make a smooth dough) and make dinner rolls. Bake the rolls at the same temp for 10 to 15 minutes. You want them nice and browned on top. I add the vanilla to the milk mixture. I also use my KitchenAid – indispensable for bread making! Use the paddle for the first mixing and switch to the dough hook when adding the additional flour. Perfect results every time.
| 6½ to 7 | c. flour, unbleached |
| ¾ | c. mashed potato flakes |
| ⅔ | c. sugar |
| 1 | tsp. salt |
| ½ | tsp. ginger or mace |
| 2 | tsp. vanilla |
| 2 | env. active dry yeast |
| 1 | c. milk |
| ½ | c. water |
| ½ | c. butter |
| 1 | c. pineapple juice at room temperature |
| 3 | eggs |
| Glaze (optional) |
In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, mashed potato flakes, sugar, salt, ginger or mace, vanilla, and yeast.
In medium saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until very warm, 120 to 130 degrees. Add warm mixture, pineapple juice and eggs to flour mixture. Blend at low speed of mixer until moistened. Beat 4 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in 3 cups flour to form a stiff dough.
On floured surface, knead in 1/2 to 1 cup flour until smooth and elastic, 5 to 8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl turning to grease top of dough. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in a warm place, 80 to 85 degrees, until light and doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Punch dough down. Divide into 3 parts, form each into a round ball. Place in 3 (8 or 9-inch) round cake pans that have been well greased. Cover and let rise in a warm place until light and doubled in size, about 1 hour.
If desired, brush loaves with glaze made of lightly beaten eggs. Also sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped. Remove loaves from pan immediately.
