Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mashed purple sweet potato (approximately 1 medium potato)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water (around 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast in a large bowl until well combined.
- In another bowl, blend the warm water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, then fold in the mashed purple sweet potato until creamy.
- Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, covering it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth.
- Allow it to rise in a warm environment for approximately 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- After rising, gently deflate the dough and divide it into 10 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a smooth ball and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F while the rolls are rising.
- Once the second rise is complete, bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown.
- Let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- For extra flavor, mix in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg with the dry ingredients.
- To make sweeter rolls, increase the sugar to 1/3 cup.
- These rolls can be filled with jam or cream cheese for a delightful surprise.
