Directions:Mix together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, yeast and salt. Heat milk and melted butter to 120 degrees and mix into dry ingredients. Stir in egg and sweet potatoes. Knead for 5-7 minutes, place into oiled bowl and turn to totally oil dough ball. Cover and let rise until double.
If using bread machine, add ingredients listed to bread machine pan in order listed and run dough cycle. Remove dough from bread machine to floured surface.
See below to form dough into shape of your choice.
Cover with a tea towel and let rolls rise. After rolls have almost doubled in size, brush with honey butter glaze, if using. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Remove from pan or cookie sheet to allow cooling. (If you leave them in the pan too long, they will get soggy on the bottom.)
To Make Balls
Divide dough in half, then half again making four sections. Divide each of these sections into 4 pieces of dough which should leave you with 16 little doughballs. Form into round balls.
Arrange balls into two round (or square) 8 or 9-inch greased pans.
Cover rolls loosely with tea towel to rise.
To Make Crescents
Divide dough in half and form each half into a ball. Roll to approximately 10 inches in diameter. Use a knife or pizza cutter to create 8 triangles (see picture). Roll each triangle starting from the wide end and finally, tucking small end under so it will not pop out when baked. Place on greased cookie sheet.
Cover rolls loosely with tea towel to rise.
Honey Butter Glaze
Combine all ingredients and brush carefully over each roll just before popping them in the preheated oven. Try not to let the glaze touch the cookie sheet. |
