Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls

Thursday, November 28, 2013 by Darla

Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls from BakingdomHappy Thanksgiving today to all of my American friends around the world!

I don’t know about you guys, but we’re taking things pretty easy around here. No turkey this year – just some homemade chicken and dumplings. Well, the dumplings are going to be sweet potato dumplings, because I couldn’t find sweet potatoes for sale all on their own, and I had to buy a huge bag.

So, while I had the 2 medium potatoes needed to make my Buttery Soft Dinner Rolls into buttery soft sweet potato dinner rolls…I also had, like….12 more sweet potatoes to use up.

Maybe I’ll make some more of these rolls, too…cause…yum.

Seriously.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I’m thankful for you!!

Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls
Makes about 32 rolls

Ingredients

FOR THE ROLLS
6 cups (762 grams) bread flour, plus more as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons (38 grams) sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast (or one 2 1/4-teaspoon packet)
1 large, or 2 medium, sweet potato(s), peeled (about 12 ounces of potato after peeling)
1 egg, lightly beaten (egg substitute for vegan/dairy free)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick or 57 grams) unsalted butter or margarine, cut into 4 pieces
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) water (3/4 cup (188 ml) hot, 3/4 cup [188 ml]  lukewarm)
3 tablespoons honey

FOR THE WASH (optional)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon honey

To make the rolls: Cube the peeled potato(s), and place in a medium saucepan, filled with water. Bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Mash thoroughly by hand or using a mixer or food processor.

In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast, and stir to combine.

In a 4 cup measuring cup, combine the 3/4 cup hot water with the butter pieces and stir until melted. In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg, then add it to the butter mixture and whisk slightly. Add the 3/4 cup lukewarm water, and the honey, stirring to combine.

Add the wet ingredients to the mashed potatoes, and mix until thoroughly combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a dough just forms. If mixing by hand, transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes, adding small amounts of flour, as needed, to keep it from sticking. If using a standing mixer, knead on medium speed, with the dough hook attached, until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. The dough should barely stick to the bottom of the bowl. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour 1-2 tablespoons at a time. If it’s too dry, add more water.

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise for about 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Once the dough has risen, divide it into about 32 2-ounce pieces. Shape each piece into a small boule and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat mat. Cover with a clean, dry towel and allow to rise for an hour, or until doubled in size. Once doubled, combine the beaten egg and honey in a small bowl. Brush the rolls with the egg wash, if desired.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (200 C). Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until they reach about 180 degrees inside. Allow rolls to cool completely (or at least 10 minutes) before serving.

    I just gave myself ten seconds to imagine how amazing it would be to have a Thanksgiving dinner with you, Nigella Lawson, Jo Rowling, and Martin Freeman. That’s a good party! Who else should we invite, and what cocktails should we serve?

    Did you use a sweet potatoe- a whiter one – or a yam?

      I used a sweet potato this time, but I’ve also made them with yams in the past. 🙂

    Made these at Thanksgiving, and then made them again at Christmas, but a bit bigger? They are AWESOME for leftover ham sandwiches!

    I have had to play with the right amt of sweet potatoes. What would be the right conversion for the sweet potatoes to cups (to work with my not-so-good at baking brain)? I end up using much more flour than called for, I think because I use more potatoes than called for – I don’t have a scale, and my oz measuring cups are liquid, not solids. Maybe two medium potatoes here are really the large ones?? Help?

    OK – this time, they were perfect! I used one cup of mashed sweet potoates, and about 1/2 cup more of flour. Yay!! My inlaws love them, and now I need to produce them often, until summer when I can go back to zucchini bread. Thanks for such an awesome recipe!

welcome!

Yes, with his portrayal of Olaf (and so many other characters), but also, and mainly, as himself. He’s such a joyful and kind person, it has been a pleasure laughing and crying along with him, and Olaf, this year. Thank you, sir, for making my 2020 more magical and joyful than it would have been without you!

I couldn’t pick just a Remy quote for today because the one by Chef Gusteau is one of my favorites from any movie. I think it’s clear from several of my other bounds this month that food is one of my love languages, and Remy and Gusteau totally get it.
