Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium sweet potato about 250–290g peeled and chopped to yield 1 cup mashed
  • 3/4 cup 180ml whole milk warmed to about 110°F 43°C
  • 2 and 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast from Red Star 1 standard-size packet
  • 1/3 cup 113g honey divided
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 5 Tablespoons 71g unsalted butter softened
  • 1 and 3/4 teaspoons salt
  • 5 and 1/2 cups 715g bread flour* spooned & leveled plus more as needed
  • optional 2 Tablespoons 28g melted butter and flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions

  1. Boil the chopped sweet potato in water until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes, then drain and mash to get 1 cup of mashed sweet potato and let it cool slightly.
  2. Combine the warm milk, yeast, and 2 Tablespoons honey in a bowl, then cover and let it sit for 5 minutes to proof.
  3. Add the remaining honey, eggs, butter, mashed sweet potato, salt, and 1 cup flour to the mixture and stir on low speed for 1 minute; scrape the bowl and add the rest of the flour, then mix on medium speed until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides, adding more flour if necessary.
  4. Knead the dough on low speed for 5 minutes or by hand on a floured surface until smooth and soft but slightly sticky; use the windowpane test to check readiness.
  5. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
  6. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and divide the dough into 20 equal pieces, shaping each into a smooth ball and arranging them in the pan.
  7. Cover and let the rolls rise until puffy, about 30 to 45 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F 177°C and bake the rolls on a lower rack for 25 minutes until golden brown; tent with foil if they brown too fast.
  9. Remove from oven, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
