Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more, room-temperature, for bowl and dish

  • 1 medium russet potato (8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (1 1/4 cups)

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (not rapid-rise; one whole 1/4-ounce envelope)

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 3 tablespoons apple butter, such as Red Jacket Orchards

  • 2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Pinch kosher salt

  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans

  • 1/2 cup dried currants or chopped raisins

  • 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Dough: Brush a large bowl with butter; set aside. Place potato in a small pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes; drain. Pass through a ricer or mash with a fork until smooth (to yield 2/3 cup); let cool slightly.

Heat milk until warm to the touch (110 degrees on a thermometer). Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer; add yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter, granulated sugar, potato, egg, flour, and salt until a ragged dough forms. Place bowl on mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment; mix on medium-low speed, scraping sides and removing dough from hook a few times, until soft and pliable, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead into a ball. Transfer to buttered bowl (dough will be very soft) and cover with plastic wrap. (Dough can be covered and refrigerated at this point up to 2 days). Let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Brush two 8-inch cake pans with butter; set aside.

Filling: In a bowl, stir together butter and apple butter. In another bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Punch down dough; transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll out to a 14-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread evenly with butter mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border on far long edge; top with brown-sugar mixture, pecans, and currants. Starting at long edge closest to you, roll dough away from you into a tight jelly-roll shape. Transfer, seam-side down, to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Trim ends, then cut roll crosswise into twelve 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds with a serrated knife. Arrange, cut-sides up, in prepared pans; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove rolls from refrigerator and place in a warm spot until almost doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove plastic and bake until browned on top and a thermometer inserted registers about 210 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pans on a wire rack, 10 minutes.

Glaze: Meanwhile, heat brown sugar, butter, apple butter, and 1 tablespoon water in a saucepan over medium, stirring, until simmering; cook 1 minute. Drizzle over rolls; let cool at least 20 minutes. Serve.
