30 ml (2 tablespoons) dried yeast
125 ml (1/2 cup) lukewarm water
30 ml (2 tablespoons) honey
60 ml (4 tablespoons) white sugar
30 ml (2 tablespoons) brown sugar
45 ml (3 tablespoons) melted butter
10 ml (2 teaspoons) salt
2 eggs
3 to 31/2 cups flour
250 ml (1 cup) cooked sweet potato, mashed
1 egg for egg wash
Preheat the oven to 190 ºC (375 ºF). Grease 2x23 cm diameter Pyrex glass dishes.
1. Sprinkle the yeast onto the water and set aside until foamy. Combine the honey, sugars, melted butter, salt and eggs and add to the yeast.
2. Stir in 2 cups of flour and then add the sweet potatoes. Mix well. Add remaining flour, as much as needed to form a smooth dough. Knead for 10 minutes until the dough is smooth. Place in a buttered container and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise until double in size.
3. Punch down the dough and set aside for a few minutes. Shape the dough into 14 rolls and place a ring in each of the 2 Pyrex dishes. The rolls will grow together when they proof. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and set aside until the rolls are double in size. Brush with egg wash and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.
