Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 4 medium potatoes, cooked)
- 2 cups (260 grams) self-rising flour
Measurement Conversions:
- 2 cups = 473 milliliters
- 260 grams = 9.2 ounces
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400F (200C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal roll placement.
- Transform sweet potatoes into a velvety, uniform texture by thoroughly mashing them in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Incorporate flour into the mashed sweet potatoes, stirring until a rough, uneven dough begins to take shape.
- Transfer the dough to a flour-dusted surface and gently manipulate it with quick, light kneading motions to create a cohesive, smoother consistency.
- Partition the dough into 12 equal segments, carefully rolling each portion into a uniform spherical shape.
- Arrange the rounded dough balls evenly across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring adequate spacing between each roll.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, monitoring until the rolls develop a rich, golden-brown exterior.
Notes
- Swap sweet potatoes for pumpkin or butternut squash to create delightful seasonal variations with similar textures.
- Use gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the soft, pillowy roll consistency.
- Brush rolls with melted butter or olive oil before baking to enhance golden-brown color and add extra flavor depth.
- Allow sweet potatoes to cool slightly before mixing to prevent overworking the dough and ensure tender, light rolls.
