Golden, yeast raised dinner rolls made mashed sweet potatoes. Perfect use of leftovers.
Ingredients
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup milk, heated to 105ºF
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 whole egg
- 4 cups all-purpose flour - divided
Instructions
- Combine yeast, sugar and milk in a medium mixing bowl, stir until dissolved. Cover bowl and set aside, in a warm place, for 10 minutes, until mixture is foamy.
- Add sweet potatoes, butter, salt, egg and 3 cups flour to milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
- Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead in enough flour, about 1 cup, to make a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Put dough into a bowl that has been smeared with butter, cover bowl and put in a warm place until dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Deflate dough, form dough into 12 balls, put balls into a buttered 9" square baking pan, cover and let rise until dough has doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated, 375º oven for 22 minutes or until rolls are golden.
- Serve warm with butter.
Notes
The dough has to rise twice so the overall prep time total is 3 hours.
