Name: Portuguese Sweet Rolls
Ingredients: Potato flour is a fine powder made by drying and grinding white potatoes. It is useful for keeping bread doughs soft and baked goods moist longer. If you don't have any, then you can substitute unflavored instant mashed potato flakes (same weight, which is a much bigger volume), cornstarch (same vol; Vanilla extract is called for, but you can use whatever style of vanilla flavoring you have on hand. Two teaspoons of vanilla extract is a moderately large amount of vanilla (twice what you would put in a typical batch of cookies), so you may need to use a larger than usual amount of vanilla sugar,; Lemon oil is not the same as lemon extract.

The water should be warm but definitely not boiling, so you don't accidentally cook the yeast in the mixing bowl. If you haven't got hot water, then cold water will work, but your raising time will be a little longer.; This recipe cannot be made gluten-free.; Shaping the rolls takes practice. Once you get used to it, it may take as little as 10 minutes to shape the entire batch, but for your first time, plan for it to take longer.

In a fully preheated, powerful box cooker, they'll take about as long to bake as they do in a conventional oven. In a more ordinary solar cooker, they will take longer. Remember that, in a solar oven, bread does not brown as much.; Store cooked rolls at room temperature. They keep well for a couple of days. You can also freeze them for several months.
