Step 1

In the bowl of a stand mixer whisk together the yeast and water. Whisk in the sugar, oil, salt, eggs, and the mashed potato flakes if using.

Step 2

Add the flour and knead for 6 minutes over low speed. Rest the dough for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer dough onto a floured surface and cut into 4 equal pieces. Cut each piece in half again to make a total of 8 pieces. Gently pat and roll into a 12-inch log.

Step 4

Spray the tops with water.

Step 5

Dredge into the Italian Herb Blend.

Step 6

Place rolls onto Silicone Sub Roll Mats and score the tops (3-4 slashes.)

Step 7

Allow dough to rise until tripled in size (up to 1 hour if rising in a warm place.)

Step 8

Sprinkle the tops with shredded Colby and Monterey Jack Cheese. Bake for 15-18 minutes at 375°F. Cool in molds before removing.
