Description
These soft and fluffy sweet potato dinner rolls are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup whole milk (warm, about 110°F / 43°C)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled, plus extra for finishing)
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (at room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- milk or egg wash (optional, for browning)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, mashed sweet potato, honey, and salt.
- Add the flour and yeast. Using the dough hook attachment, knead on medium speed for 10 minutes until a soft and slightly tacky dough forms.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time, just until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl but remains soft.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1½ hours.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 20 equal portions, about 60 g each. Shape each into a tight ball by tucking the edges underneath and rolling on the counter.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish or on a sheet pan. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes until puffy and touching.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Brush the tops of the rolls with milk or egg wash if desired. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
- Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter while warm. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use bread flour for a chewier texture.
- Store rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, wrap rolls in foil and warm in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 10 minutes.
