Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Use warm water (110-115°F) and add a pinch of sugar to help activate the yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  • Use a potato masher to easily mash the sweet potatoes: This will give you a smooth and lump-free puree.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough can make the rolls tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to double in size and become light and airy.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
