Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sweet potato (mashed)
- 0.5 cup Warm milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 Egg
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, melted butter, egg, and the frothy yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use the dough hook attachment on a stand mixer for 5-6 minutes.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them evenly on a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Optional: Brush the tops of the warm rolls with melted butter for added richness.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for a delightful treat!
