These rolls can be used for anything. They are perfect by themselves as a side to dinner or can be used to make mini sandwiches of any kind. They are light yet chewy, my favorite combination!

Nutritional Highlight: Pure Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. There is a lot of controversy about this oil due to its saturated fat content. However, recently coconut oil has become a little bit trendy. It is very popular in natural food circles and among vegans. Coconut oil does indeed have a high saturated fat content but the main source is from lauric acid. Lauric acid is naturally found in breast milk and thought to have antimicrobial properties among other medicinal uses. It is also thought to raise HDL or "good" cholesterol. 

Good For Everything Rolls (makes 16 rolls)

2 cups Bread Flour
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/3 cup Coconut Oil, melted
1/2 cup Instant Potato Flakes
1/4 cup Sugar
1 Tbsp Salt
2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
1 1/4 cups Warm Water, ~115 degrees

In a large liquid measuring cup or a small bowl, mix together water and sugar. When the sugar has dissolved, add the yeast. Let bloom for about 5-10 minutes until foamy. Add the oil to the mixture, making sure that it is cooled and not over 120 degrees.

Mix flour, salt and potato flakes in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Slowly add the yeast mixture to the mixing bowl at the slowest speed. Knead until smooth and the dough pulls away from the sides, about 5 minutes. Then knead by hand in the bowl until the dough forms a smooth ball.

Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down dough, and divide into fourths. Then divide each fourth into another four equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball by rolling between hands. Place each ball of dough about 1in. apart on a greased or lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 1 hour.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
