Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 cup mashed)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup sugar (or honey)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare your sweet potatoes by peeling and cubing them, then boil in salted water until tender (15-20 minutes). Drain and mash until smooth.
  2. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast; let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Stir in the activated yeast mixture.
  4. Gradually add flour one cup at a time until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough gently and divide into equal portions (12-15). Shape into balls and place on a greased baking sheet.
  7. Let the shaped rolls rise again for about 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
