I love vegetables. This comes in handy because I can eat them when I am unable to stomach anything else.
My girls love certain vegetables – potato, broccoli, carrots and plenty of salad greens. Unfortunately they have not inherited my love of Sweet Potato 🙁
I keep trying to entice them but so far I have failed. Today’s attempt is Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls 🙂
I used a Potato Roll recipe from an old recipe book and cut out the sugar, shortening and swapped potato for Sweet Potato.
Ingredients
- 250 grams Sweet Potato (peeled, steamed, mashed and cooled)
- 150 grams Water
- 1.5 teaspoons Yeast
- 375 grams Wholemeal Bakers Flour
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
In a large mixing bowl whisk the sweet potato and water together until light and bubbly. Add the yeast and let the mixture sit on the bench for 5 minutes. Once the yeast activates and bubbles start to form add the remaining ingredients in the order listed and stir until combined. Tip dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky add 1/4 cup of bakers flour at a time until you are able to knead the dough without it sticking to your hands.
Place dough back into bowl, cover with cling wrap and allow to rest for 30-40 minutes or until doubled in size. Uncover dough and punch the air out. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions then roll into balls. Place on a lined baking tray, cover with cling wrap and allow to rest for a further 30 minutes.
Uncover dough and bake in a 190 degree oven for 30 minutes. Rolls will sound hollow when tapped.
Enjoy 🙂
