Instructions

Dough

1. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together flour, yeast, sugar and salt, then rub in butter with your fingertips until it has the texture of soft breadcrumbs.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the milk, mashed potato and eggs together and add to the dry mixture, stirring to combine.
3. Either fit the mixer with a dough hook or turn dough out onto a clean work surface and knead until soft and elastic.
4. Transfer dough to a large buttered bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size, about an hour, up to two, depending on ambient temperature.
5. Filling and baking
6. Put the flour, brown sugar and butter in a medium bowl and mix with a fork until it looks like wet sand.
7. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a rectangle about 30 x 50cm (12 x 20″).
8. Sprinkle the dough evenly with the filling.
9. Roll the dough from the long edge into a tight log, seam-side down, then cut crosswise into 16 equal pieces.
10. Arrange the rolls cut-side-up on the baking sheet, leaving about 2cm (about 1”) between them.
11. Cover rolls loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about one hour, or until puffed and jostling for space in the pan.
12. Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).
13. Brush rolls with egg wash and bake in centre of oven for about 30 minutes, until deep golden brown.
14. Remove rolls to a wire rack to cool.
