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 chili.—Carly Curtin, Ellicott City, Maryland

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 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Dash ground nutmeg
  • 3-1/2 to 4 cups bread flour

Directions

  1. 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).
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 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.
  3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place in 2 greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30 minutes.
  4. Bake at 375° until golden brown, 20-25 minutes.
