Uses
Directions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 1 cup of the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast; blend well.
- In a small saucepan, heat the half & half and butter until very warm (120 to 130° F).
- Add the warm liquid, pureed sweet potatoes*, and egg to the flour mixture.
- With the paddle attachment, blend at low speed until moistened. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed.
- With the dough-hook attached, blend in the remaining 3 cups of flour for a soft dough. The dough will be somewhat sticky.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 2 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover loosely with a cloth towel and let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, about 45-55 minutes.
- Grease 2 baking sheets. Punch down the dough several times to remove all air bubbles. On a floured surface, toss the dough lightly until no longer sticky.
- Divide the dough into 18 pieces; shape into balls. Place 2" apart on the baking sheets.
- Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Heat oven to 375°. Uncover the dough. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.
- Brush with melted butter, or better yet, melted Rodelle's Vanilla Bean Butter.
- Serve with our Rodelle Vanilla Bean Butter!
