OLIVE BUTTER DINNER ROLLS
Olive butter dinner rolls are the softer ones I’ve ever tasted. The potato starch they have in the dough makes them fluffy and tasty.
First time I saw this recipe was in the cook blog Chipa by the Dozen , an amazing blog with a lot of authentic latin recipes, specially Bolivian recipes and Paraguayan recipes. Her recipes are always real latin recipes, and the step by step easy to follow.
To add some salt flavor to the dinner rolls I baked them with green and black olives butter with some anchovies. It gives the rolls a tasty and flavorful touch.
How to add potato to my bread dough?
We can choose between two options: First option is peel and bol our potatoes to have our homemade mashed potatoes. This is the option used by Chipa by the Dozen in the original recipe. Second option is to add potato starch. You can find it in some shops in Spain, specially in Mallorca, where is used for many baked goods, as Valldemossa cakes, that’s why I had at home and used potato starch.
