Ingredients
  • 3¾ cups + 2 tbsp (500 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (175 ml) milk, warm
  • ¾ cup + 2 tbsp (200 ml) water, warm
  • ½ cup (100 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 packet (7 grams) instant dried yeast
  • 1½ tsp salt, divided (1 tsp in dough, ½ on potato filling)
  • ½ cup + 1 tbsp (125 grams) unsalted butter, semi-frozen
  • 1 large potato, cooked with the skin
  • 1 egg
  • sesame
  • coarse salt
Instructions
  1. In a bowl of your stand mixer, combine the flour and the dried yeast. Add the warm milk, water, 1 tsp salt, vegetable oil and mix until combined and not sticky (about 10 minutes).
  2. Allow the dough to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Place the dough on a well floured surface, roll out to about ⅓-inch (1 cm) thickness.
  4. Grate the butter and the potato over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle with ½ tsp salt. Fold the dough in half. Then fold into thirds. Roll out again into about ⅓-inch (1 cm) thickness. Allow to rise for about 20 minutes.
  5. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  6. Using a 2.5-inch (6.5 cm) floured round cutter (or the edges of a glass or mug), cut out rounds.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg lightly. Brush the top of each biscuit with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the coarse salt.
  8. Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for about 25 minutes, or until golden.
  9. Enjoy!
