Baking up the rolls....old post

Pre-Thanksgiving (while still sick), I used King Flour's recipe for soft white dinner rolls, I substituted home grown potatoes for the instant potato flakes (thanks to some advice from an avid bread baker).

I let the mashed potatoes cool, while the butter came down to room temperature, and took to filing away my last "file" pile.

Using the directions on King Flour's blogpost, I divided them into 16 rolls, and froze them.  

How did they turn out? Well, I forgot to take a photo, but they did not rise enough.  I'm wondering if I should have thawed them in the fridge the night before vs. the same day we baked them.  Anyone have tips on this.  I used my dehydrator to help them rise too.

When baking rolls from my freezer . Place them on a pan with parchment paper then I let them set on the counter till they thaw . I set my oven as low as it will go (170). I place my rolls in the oven, the time it takes to rise may vary. Once I see they have risen I turn my oven up to 350 and bake them. They have risen nicely for me every time. Hope this helps.
