Sweet rolls with raisins and nuts made from potato yeast dough are a delicate and aromatic treat where simple ingredients turn into a culinary wonder. The potato dough makes the baked goods soft and airy, giving them a light velvety texture. Sweet raisins complement the natural sweetness of the dough, while nuts – cashews, almonds, and hazelnuts – add a rich nutty flavor and a slight crunch. This recipe has roots in Russian cuisine, where potatoes are often used to give the dough special softness. The rolls are perfect for cozy tea time, filling the home with warmth and aromas of fresh baking. They can be served with jam, honey or simply enjoyed for their rich flavor without any additions.
