Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups warm milk
1 cup mashed potatoes
⅔ cup shortening
⅔ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
7 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ cup brown sugar, or as needed
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
½ cup raisins, or to taste
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter, melted
½ cup milk
3 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Mix warm milk, mashed potatoes, shortening, white sugar, eggs, and salt together using an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over mixture and stir gently until yeast is dissolved and well mixed.
  • Add flour 2 cups at a time to milk mixture using an electric mixer until dough becomes thick. Set aside mixer and add flour gradually, kneading dough on a work surface by hand until it is smooth and no longer wet and sticky. Place dough back into the mixing bowl and cover with a wet cloth. Set in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Roll 1/2 of the dough out onto a floured surface into a rectangle shape, about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough. Mix brown sugar and enough milk to make a paste together in a small bowl. Smooth paste evenly across both dough rectangles and sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Sprinkle with raisins.
  • Roll dough rectangles up and slice into 1 1/2-inch sections. Place rolls into 7 greased pie pans, gently pressing down using your fingers to squish into pans. Set rolls in a warm place until puffy, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until light brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring brown sugar and butter to a boil over low heat in a saucepan, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in milk and return to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm temperature, about 5 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar until thickened. Beat using an electric mixer until it reaches a spreading consistency, adding warm water or additional milk if frosting gets stiff.
  • Remove rolls from the oven and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes. Frost and serve.

SWEET POTATO-PECAN CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY



Sweet Potato-Pecan Cinnamon Rolls Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: plain unsweetened soy milk, vegan butter, mashed sweet potato, unbleached all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, active dry yeast, grapeseed oil, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, toasted pecans, vegan butter, vegan cream cheese, confectioners sugar, mashed sweet potato, pure vanilla extract

Provided by Crystal Hatch

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup plain unsweetened soy milk, or other non-dairy milk
¼ cup vegan butter
1 cup mashed sweet potato, from 1 baked medium sweet potato
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 packet
½ teaspoon grapeseed oil
½ cup brown sugar, or coconut sugar, or a mix of the two
½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup toasted pecans
⅓ cup vegan butter
½ cup vegan cream cheese
½ cup confectioners sugar
¼ cup mashed sweet potato, from ¼ baked medium sweet potato
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, warm the soy milk and vegan butter over medium heat until the butter has melted. Do not boil it. Remove from the heat and stir in the mashed sweet potato.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry and use a wooden spoon to combine. Once it gets too difficult to stir, use your hands to combine the ingredients.
  • Flour a clean work surface and transfer the dough onto the prepared work space. Knead it until you've got a smooth dough ball. Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough ball in it, cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let rise for 1 hour. The dough should double in size.
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Chop the pecans into small pieces and set aside. In a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter and set aside.
  • Once the dough has doubled in size, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Press the air out of the dough, then transfer it back onto your floured work space. Roll the dough until it is about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. You should end up with a roughly rectangular oval, about 12x16 inches (30x40 cm).
  • Brush the dough with the melted butter, sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mix, and then top with the chopped pecans. Fold the short side of the dough over and roll tightly until you have a log.
  • Carefully cut the log into twelve 1-inch (2 cm) slices. Grease a large skillet or a 10-inch (25 cm) round baking dish and place the rolls in it cut-side down.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until they've expanded and turned slightly golden on top.
  • Meanwhile, make the frosting: Place all the ingredients in a food processor or standing mixer with the whisk attachment on high and blend until creamy.
  • Remove the rolls from the oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Top with the sweet potato frosting and serve immediately. They will stay fresh for up to 2 days, but they're best eaten the day you bake them.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh sweet potatoes. They will be more flavorful and have a better texture than store-bought mashed sweet potatoes.
  • If you don't have a microwave, you can cook the sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water. Just be sure to prick them with a fork first so they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Be careful not to overproof the dough. If it rises too much, the rolls will be too light and fluffy and will not have a good texture.
  • To make sure the rolls are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one of them. If it comes out clean, the rolls are done.

Conclusion:

These sweet potato cinnamon rolls are a delicious and unique twist on the classic cinnamon roll. They are made with a sweet potato dough that is soft and fluffy, and they are filled with a cinnamon sugar filling that is perfectly sweet and spicy. These rolls are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
