Step #1 DOUGH.

Step #5 Cool to lukewarm.
Step #6 Stir in 4 c of flour, sugar, mashed potatoes, salt & dissolved yeast.
Step #7 Mix at lowish speed.
Step #8 Add remaining flour as needed to make a soft dough, the dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl & as you mix, will be somewhat reluctant to lie back down in the bow.
Step #9 The dough will be definitely sticky when you are finished mixing.
Step #10 Leave in mixer bowl, covered with plastic wrap oversight or about 8 hrs.
Step #11 The next morning, punch dough, turn dough out onto floured board & cut dough in half.
Step #12 Roll each half into a rectangle.
Step #13 FILLING Drain the pineapple.
Step #14 The more you can drain it - the better consistency for the filling.
Step #15 In a mixer whip the softened cream cheese & sugar until fluffy, mix in nutmeg & vanilla.
Step #16 Stir in well-drained pineapple.
Step #17 Do not over mix.
Step #18 Divide in half & spread over each rectangle.
Step #19 Roll up & slice into 1 1/2 inch slices & place on parchment paper covered cookie sheets.
Step #20 Let rise until double (about 30 mins) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step #21 Bake for 15 mins.
Step #22 Turn down to 350 & bake for 10-15 more mins.
Step #23 If edges are getting too dark cover with tinfoil wrap.
Step #24 If desired, decorate with frosting of your choice & place red & green cherries in the centre of each bun.
Step #25 My family places the uncooked buns onto parchment paper in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Step #26 (1 bun at top, next layer 2 buns, repeat until the last layer is 4 buns across & then place 2 buns down for the tree stump).
