Sweet Potato Pan Rolls

This tender rolls are one of my brothers favorites so I make them often. Spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, they are great along side a wide variety of dishes from chicken to a bowl of steaming chili.—Carly Curtin, Ellicott City, Maryland

16 ServingsPrep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup mashed sweet potato
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash ground nutmeg
3-1/2 to 4 cups bread flour

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sweet potato,
butter, honey, oil, egg, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1 cup
flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining
flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the
top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 16
pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place in two greased 9-in.
