Recipe Ingredients
Ingredients for the dough
- 1×7 grams sachet of dried yeast
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 4 tablespoons water, lukewarm
- 500 grams plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- pinch of salt
- 140 grams sweet potato, precooked
- 160 millilitres milk, at room temperature
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 35 millilitres vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Ingredients for the egg wash
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1-2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Methods
1. Prepare the sweet potatoes
Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the food processor along with 160 millilitres of milk and purée until smooth. Set it aside.
2. Activate the yeast
In a small bowl, combine the yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar in 4 tablespoons of lukewarm water and leave it to stand until foamy. It takes about 5-10 minutes. If it is not foamy, start with new yeast.
3. Make the dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 500 grams of plain flour with the sweet potato-milk-mixture, activated yeast, 1 egg, 35 millilitres of vegetable oil, a pinch of salt, and ½ teaspoon of dried thyme. Mix with the dough hook of the hand mixer until a smooth dough is formed. Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
4. Shape the rolls
After the dough has doubled in volume, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times with your hands. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a slightly oblong shape about 15-20 cm long. Roll up the dough lengthwise and place it on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Cover the rolls with a tea towel and let them rise for half an hour.
5. Preheat the oven
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
6. Bake
Brush the rolls with a beaten egg, and score each roll a few times using a knife. Garnish the sweet potato rolls with sesame seeds. Bake the rolls in the middle position of the oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
7. Serve
Serve the sweet potato rolls warm straight from the oven to enjoy their soft and fluffy texture.
Enjoy!
