Suggested Products

These are all affiliate links for amazon but you can go to a store to find a lot too. Amazon is just easiest.

• Potato Gems or Pearls – We use these dehydrated potatoes as they seem to give the best flavor and texture.
• Dough Scraper – Any ol’ scraper will do but we prefer a plastic scraper to scrape the dough and flour off our counter and out of bowls for 10x faster clean up.
• Silpat Baking Mat – We bake everything on a silpat; cookies, rolls and even loaf breads cook evenly and without sticking! No spray needed!
• Nordic Ware Cookie Sheet – The cookie sheet you use absolutely can make or break your recipe. If it’s too dark it will cause your food to look dark and over-bake. You want a cookie sheet that bakes evenly and won’t affect color.
• Stainless Mixing Bowls – I love glass mixing bowls, but the truth is, everyone should have good stainless bowls in all sizes and these are great ones.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Sugar: Feeds the yeast to help the dough rise and adds a touch of sweetness that enhances flavor. It also promotes browning, giving your rolls that beautiful golden color.
• Unsalted Butter: Butter adds richness, tenderness, and flavor to the rolls. The fat coats the flour proteins, which limits gluten development — that’s why your potato rolls turn out so soft and melt-in-your-mouth.
• Milk: Milk makes the dough tender and adds subtle sweetness and flavor. The natural sugars in milk also help with browning, while the proteins contribute to a soft, rich crumb.
• Potato Flakes: This is your secret weapon! Potato flakes (or mashed potatoes) make the rolls extra soft and moist by attracting and holding onto moisture.
• Salt: Balances the sweetness, enhances flavor, and strengthens the gluten structure so your rolls rise evenly and hold their shape.
  • PRO TIP: Always add salt after the yeast has been mixed in with other ingredients to avoid slowing yeast activity.
• Instant Yeast: The leavening agent that makes your rolls rise. Instant yeast works quickly and doesn’t require proofing in water first — just mix it right in with the dry ingredients.
• Eggs: Eggs add richness, flavor, and beautiful go

Glazed Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

There’s nothing quite like a warm slice of pumpkin bread on a crisp fall day, but this glazed pumpkin chocolate chip bread takes it to the next level. The bread itself is tender and full of cozy pumpkin spice, studded with melty chocolate chips, and then comes the twist—fresh orange zest and almond extract give it a bright, unexpected flavor that makes every bite sensational.

Topped with a sweet orange-almond glaze, it’s the kind of recipe that feels fancy enough for sharing but easy enough for an everyday bake with the kiddos.

My Latest Inspiration

I always thought it was so weird, orange juice and pumpkin? Who are these people? But, I was wrong and I will own it.

My friend, Whitney makes the most delicious Glazed Pumpkin Bread and there are two crazy changes that make it uniquely incredible; 1. Orange zest and juice 2. No cinnamon- look, it works so just trust us.

Whitney is one of my latest inspirations. She is an all-in Mom, an incredible cook and baker, and her family is LIVING life. A backyard full of a zipline, a playhouse that dad and his kids will have movie night sleepovers in and all the family time, including friends, you can imagine.

So, I kinda want that. Less of the “to-dos” and more of the “to-loves”. I love this bread. I love that it’s from her mom and even her 10 year old requested it instead of cake for his birthday. And I love the reminder of moments, not tasks. I needed a bit of a slap in the face with our home remodel taking up so much time lately, and this bread, my people and all of you are exactly what is on my “list” this week.

• Easy to Make: This is a great recipe to get the kids in the kitchen!
