these yeast rolls are spiced with a little cinnamon and enhanced with mashed sweet potatoes.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 5 to 7 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- melted butter
Preparation:
In a measuring cup, combine warm water and yeast; stir to dissolve. Set aside. In a saucepan, scald milk; add sugar, salt, cinnamon, and butter. Stir until butter is melted. Pour milk mixture over the mashed potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add lemon juice to the mixture then beat until smooth. Cool to lukewarm, then add egg and yeast mixture; blend well. Stir in 2 cups of the flour and beat at medium speed of electric hand-held mixer for about 3 minutes. Add enough flour to make a stiff dough.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a buttered bowl, turn dough to butter top; cover and let rise until double in bulk. Punch down and knead once more, then shape into rolls. Place in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise until double in bulk. Bake rolls at 400° for approximately 20 minutes, or less if you have made your rolls small. Brush tops with melted butter while hot.
Makes about 1 dozen rolls, depending on size.
