Ingredients

¼ cup warm water
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup milk
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 large egg, slightly beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Directions

Combine warm water and yeast in a measuring cup; stir to dissolve. Set aside.
Heat milk, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and milk begins to bubble.
Place mashed sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and pour milk mixture over top. Add lemon juice and mix until smooth. Let cool to lukewarm, 10 to 15 minutes. Add egg and yeast mixture; blend well.
Stir in 2 cups of flour and beat with an electric hand mixer at medium speed, about 3 minutes. Add enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a buttered bowl. Turn dough to butter top, then cover and let rise until double in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Punch down and knead once more, then shape into rolls. Place on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise until double in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter while hot.

Cook's Note:

Bake for less time if you have made your rolls small.
