I committed to 3 separate Thanksgivings worth of dinner rolls and planned to use King Arthur’s sourdough version, but apparently NOBODY carries potato flour around here. Luckily that non-sourdough recipe Thumposaurus posted is basically the exact same but with instant potatoes instead. Didn’t know that was a viable alternative.

I'm making some dinner rolls as well for Thanksgiving. I made an initial batch today since I haven't made bread in a long time and I need the practice. I mixed the ingredients and kneaded the dough by hand for about 7 minutes. I left the dough in a greased bowl, covered it and let it rise for about 1 hr 20 min. However, it didn't really expand as much as I'd hoped it would. I think it's because my condo is quite cold, and I couldn't find a good, warm spot to let the dough expand. I can't really warm up the place either, since I would have to put the heater on ridiculously high and I don't really want to do that.

Any tips for letting dough rise when you've got a cold house? Does it just take more time in a cold room? I also considered turning my oven on briefly, turning it off and letting the bowl sit in the oven, but that's not ideal.

Edit: Here's the recipe I'm using, if it helps-

I boil some water in the microwave then pop the dough in with it. Keeps it warm and humid.

I did a test run on my dinner rolls as well, pretty pleased with the result. I was going to bring them to a family get-together tonight but my wife convinced me we should keep them for lunches this week. “They’ll get them on Thursday!”
