Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato, cooked
- 1/2 cup warm milk (105-115°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 – 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the mashed sweet potato, sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

- Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30-45 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
