Equipment
Baking pan
Ingredients
2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
½ cup warm water
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
½ cup mashed sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons butter softened
2 eggs slightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine yeast, white sugar, and warm water. Stir together and let stand for 5
minutes or until foamy.
2. Add brown sugar, mashed sweet potatoes, softened butter, eggs, and salt to the bowl. Stir
using a wooden spoon to incorporate the ingredients.
3. Add 3 cups of the flour and stir the dough until flour is moistened.
4. Stir the mixture until a soft, sticky dough forms and gathers at the center of the bowl,
sprinkling in the remaining ½ cup flour as needed to help manage the stickiness.
5. Generously flour a working surface as well as your hands. Turn the dough over and knead it
until it is smooth. Add more flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to hands and
to the working surface.
6. Once the dough is manageable, stop adding the flour. Continue to knead just until the dough
is smooth but still slightly sticky.
7. Shape the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for about an hour,
until doubled in size.
8. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 16-20 portions.

9. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place on a greased 9×13 baking sheet. Cover the
rolls loosely with plastic or a clean kitchen towel.
10. Preheat oven to 375 F.
11. Let rise for 40 to 60 minutes or until puffy and have doubled in size.
12. Bake in the oven for about 12 to 16 minutes or until the tops are golden.
Notes
To test if the dough has been kneaded enough, take a small portion of dough and, using your
fingers, stretch it out into a little square. A translucent film should form in the center before it
tears.
