Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen sweet potatoes: Freshly cooked sweet potatoes are best, but frozen sweet potatoes can also be used. If using frozen sweet potatoes, thaw them completely before using.
  • Mashed or riced sweet potatoes: You can mash or rice the sweet potatoes before adding them to the dough. Mashed sweet potatoes will give the rolls a smoother texture, while riced sweet potatoes will give them a more rustic texture.
  • Use a stand mixer or bread machine: A stand mixer or bread machine can make the kneading process much easier. However, you can also knead the dough by hand if you prefer.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size. You can place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, or you can place it in a warm oven (turned off) with a bowl of hot water.
  • Bake the rolls until golden brown: The rolls should be baked in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
