A Brief History & The Benefits

History: The use of potatoes in baking dates back to times of scarcity, particularly in Europe and Ireland, where wheat flour was expensive or hard to come by. Potatoes were used to stretch dough and add substance. Bakers quickly discovered that potato-enriched doughs were not just economical, but superior—they were softer, stayed fresh longer, and had a delightful texture. This technique was naturally applied to sweet, enriched breads like cinnamon rolls, creating a legendary variation.
