Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
Add the oil, salt, and gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Make the Filling
Heat 1–2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute.
Add the mashed potatoes and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and let the filling cool.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
Divide the dough into equal-sized portions, about the size of a small lemon.
Roll out each portion into a small circle.
Place 1–2 tablespoons of potato filling in the center and seal the edges by pinching them together to form a ball.
Step 4: Grease and Bake
Grease each roll lightly with melted butter for extra softness.
Arrange the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Cover and let them rest for another 15–20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Brush the tops with egg yolk or butter for a golden finish.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.
