SWEET POTATO ROLLS



Sweet Potato Rolls image

We like the flavor of roasted potatoes best, but you could also use boiled or steamed potatoes for these sweet dinner rolls.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup warm water
1 quarter-ounce envelope dry yeast (1 scant tablespoon)
1 cup milk
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 cups cooked sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 large egg, lightly beaten
7 cups sifted all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for bowl
Melted butter, for brushing

Steps:

  • Place the warm water in a small bowl, and sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until yeast is dissolved and mixture is foamy, about 7 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, heat milk over medium heat just until it begins to steam and bubble around the sides. Remove from heat; add the butter, and stir until melted and combined. Stir in sugar, salt, and cardamom. Let cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Combine sweet potatoes and lemon juice in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in egg and milk and yeast mixtures until smooth.
  • Switch to the dough-hook attachment. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, beating until a stiff dough forms. Continue kneading dough on medium speed until smooth, about 8 minutes. The dough will still be slightly sticky.
  • Transfer to a large oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let stand in a warm place to rise until dough is doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough, and knead again with your hands, just until smooth. Using a bench scraper or sharp knife, cut dough into 20 equal pieces, and shape into rolls.
  • Place rolls on prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart; cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise again in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 40 minutes.
  • Using kitchen scissors or a sharp paring knife, snip an X in the top of each roll. Brush rolls with melted butter. Bake until tops of rolls are golden, about 20 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack; serve hot or at room temperature.

SWEET POTATO & CARAMELISED ONION ROLLS



Sweet potato & caramelised onion rolls image

Try these vegan pastries for a plant-based version of sausage rolls. Wrapped in golden pastry, harissa adds a delicious spice to the sweet potato and red onion

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Snack

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium sweet potatoes (650g)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 red onions, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp harissa paste
1 tbsp tomato purée
½ small bunch of coriander, finely chopped
320g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry (check the label to ensure it is vegan)
dairy-free milk, for glazing
1 tsp nigella seeds

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, then cook in the microwave on high for 8-10 mins until softened. Or, bake in the oven for 50 mins-1 hr, turning halfway through. Leave to cool a little, then cut in half and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Leave to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the red onions and a pinch of salt for 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally until softened and caramelised. Add the garlic, harissa and tomato purée and fry for 2 mins more. Tip the mix into the bowl with the sweet potato along with the coriander, then mash together. The filling should be mostly smooth, but not a purée. Season and leave to cool completely.
  • Unroll the pastry sheet and cut in half lengthways into two long rectangles. Spoon half the filling down the middle of one of the rectangles and form it into a long sausage shape. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little of the milk, then fold the empty half of the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal. Crimp using a fork to ensure the filling is enclosed, then repeat with the remaining filling and remaining rectangle of pastry.
  • Cut the pastry along the length into 7cm-long rolls, then arrange, spaced apart, on a large baking tray lined with baking parchment. The rolls can now be frozen on the tray. Once solid, put in a freezerproof container and freeze for up to three months. Brush with more milk, then sprinkle with the nigella seeds. Cut small slashes into the top of each roll. Bake for 25-30 mins (or 40 mins from frozen), turning halfway through, until golden.
