Summer holidays are the time in the year when we eat a lot of rolls. Rolls are the most important component for our relaxed breakfast on sunny (or rainy) summer mornings. And when our holiday home kitchen has a real oven, the rolls for breakfast are of course homemade. I love to test new recipes during this summer times.
And what are better recipes for holidays then overnight recipes? And so I played around with the Lievito madre. To prevent the dough of getting to sour, I reduced the amount of the preferment. That resulted in a slightly sour taste which fits nicely to the mashed potatoes and creme fraiche I added to the dough, too. The potatoes and creme fraiche creates a soft and fluffy crumb, and keep the crust a little bit lesser crisp then of other rolls, but I like them like that. They taste just great!
Potato rolls with Lievito Madre
- 50g Lievito Madre
- 60g Creme fraiche
- 350g flourType 550
- 150g mashed potatoes
- 150g Water
- 10g Salt
- 2g fresh yeast
Dissolve the yeast into the water and add the mixture to the other ingredients in a big bowl (about 5l). Mix all ingredients for the dough and let it rest for 30 min, then fold it from the outside of bowl into the middle for three or four times. Let rest for 30 min again, then fold the dough and repeat the resting and folding steps one time more. Ferment the dough overnight (8 – 10 hours) at room temperature.
The next morning: Heat the oven with the baking stone to 225°C. Divide the dough into pieces of about 85g each. Shape into rolls. Wet their surface and roll them into sesame or poppy seeds. If you like leave some of them plain.
Proof for 40 min.
Slash them lengthwise and bake at 250°C for 20 min with steam. Open the oven door to release the steam and bake for another 5 min on convection mode to get a crispy crust.

Ich brauche nur *Kartoffeln* im Brötchenteig lesen und bin geködert! Und von innen?
@Micha: Das Phänomen kenne ich
Die Brötchen haben eine ganz wollig-weiche Krume, die mir sehr gut gefallen hat.
mamma mia che belli! these are simply stunning, as everything you bake, really. lievito madre? do you prefer that to 100% hydration sourdough? I find it more difficult to feed, but looking at these rolls maybe I should rethink it…
@My Italian Smörgåsbord: At the moment, I prefer the Lievito madre, but this sourdough is new and so I love to play with the new “toy”
I still have my 100% hydration starter in the fridge.

Feeding is a little bit annoying because I always have to knead the Lievito madre instead of stirring fastly, but on the other hand I can use it directly from fridge without another round of feeding, perfect for baking spontaneously (like some loaves of Kanelfläta

@Christian: Danke schön!
Hi Stefanie, I couldn’t wait until I posted about these potato rolls with lievito madre I baked for BBD 54: they are amazingly delicious! Thank you for testing and sharing this with us. The taste of the lievito madre is so soft and the oven spring is so good to watch.
One question about the lievito madre: do you feed water and flour for the rest of the time or do you add some honey and oil to revive the taste?
