SWEET POTATO ROLLS
INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1 (0.25-oz.) packet active dry yeast
5 c. (600 g.) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 c. canned sweet potato purée or mashed sweet potatoes
4 Tbsp. honey, divided
5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened, divided
Cooking spray
Flaky sea salt
DIRECTIONS:
In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, combine sugar and 1 c. lukewarm (98° to 105°) water. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes, then stir to combine.
In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, beat flour and kosher salt on medium-low speed until combined. Add yeast mixture, potatoes, and 2 Tbsp. honey and beat on medium-high speed until combined. With the mixer running, add 3 Tbsp. butter, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until fully incorporated. Continue to beat until a smooth dough forms, about 5 minutes.
Grease a large bowl with cooking spray and transfer dough to bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
On a lightly floured surface, turn out dough. Divide dough into 12 pieces and roll each into a smooth ball.
Grease a 13" x 9" baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange balls in pan, spacing about 1" apart. Cover and let rise another 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°. In a small heatproof bowl, microwave remaining 2 Tbsp. honey and 2 Tbsp. butter in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted, about 1 minute total. Brush tops of dough with about half of butter mixture; sprinkle with sea salt.
Bake rolls until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Brush rolls with more butter mixture and serve warm.
Enjoy your MEAL ❤️

Sweet potato rolls are not just a tasty side dish; they offer a unique twist to traditional bread recipes. Rich in flavor and nutrients, sweet potatoes bring natural sweetness and moisture to these rolls. Additionally, they pack a nutritional punch with vitamins A and C, making them a healthier alternative to regular bread rolls. To elevate the flavor, incorporate spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg into the dough, creating an aromatic profile that complements the sweetness of the potatoes. These rolls are especially popular during the holiday season, pairing wonderfully with roasted meats and savory dishes. Perfect for family gatherings and festive occasions, they can also be served as a delightful breakfast option, toasted with a spread of butter or served alongside honey. For those looking to add a special touch, consider stuffing the rolls with ingredients like cheese or herbs before baking, providing an unexpected flair that guests will love. Whether you're an experienced baker or a kitchen novice, this recipe simplifies the process while allowing for creativity—experiment with different toppings and fillings to make the rolls your own. Remember, the key to fluffy rolls lies in ensuring your yeast is active and allowing for proper rising time. Enjoy baking your sweet potato rolls and let them become a staple in your home-cooked meals!
