I was excited to find this recipe as I love making yeast doughs with potatoes in them. It seems to add great flavor and moistness. Since the directions weren't terribly well written, I wondered if was merely an omission that the bread dough isn't given a first rise before shaping into loaves? Using these proportions, the dough is too soft to shape into loaves without a first rise. I would love to hear what anyone else who has tried the recipe did as far as rising?

I made these rolls for Thanksgiving and we all liked them. I think I should have let them raise a little more as they were a tad dense, but with all the baking I was doing, my oven schedule was kind of tight. If you are looking for a 100% whole wheat roll recipe, they are definitely worth a try. Thanks for posting.

Hi!
I have enjoyed this forum long enough I thought I needed to get involved.
I am first a mom. (Doesn't that about take up all the rest of the time?)
I also work at my sons school part time.
I used to teach but now I am an aide part time. No Homework!!! I still get out of the house and meet my kids friends, smile to smile. After teaching full time being an aide is heavenly.
