I had a few sweet potatoes sitting around, so what else does the Bread Fairy do, but see what she can bake with them.
I first peeled and boiled my sweet potato, then mashed it so it would be cool and ready to add to my rolls.
I went a search in, like I normally do and came across a recipe on All Recipes.com Sweet Potato Rolls. Please click on the link for the recipe. Below are the changes I made to the recipe.
I used 4 tablespoons of honey instead of sugar.
Bread Flour instead of all purpose flour.
I added 4 teaspoons of vital wheat gluten,
3 tablespoons of butter instead of margarine.
3 tablespoons of butter instead of margarine.
Oh and I made it in the bread machine on the dough cycle.
Here are the finished rolls, look at that nice orangey inside. They are super duper delicious and sweet.
Now for the rest of the story (oops that should be pictures.)
An action shot from inside the bread machine and then the dough resting for a few minutes after the dough cycle was complete. Don't ya love my green cutting board so autumny with the orange dough !!
I made two different shapes with this dough. Bow ties and quick cloverleafs. To make the cloverleafs make into a smooth ball and take a pair of kitchen shears and cut through the dough both ways and you will get the look without all the rolling of little balls of dough.
These rolls would be great for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. This recipe makes 16 rolls, so there's enough for a crowd. I think you could substitute some canned pumpkin for the sweet potatoes if you wanted too and the recipe would still come out great.
I hope everyone will give these a try for the holidays.
Thanks for stopping by !!
I appreciate each and everyone of my friends and followers.
