Sweet Potato Burger & Slider Buns

[Garvinque]

I love sweet potatoes and when I do this recipe I will bake instead of boil preserves more of the taste and sweetness!

Ingredients for 8 large, 16 medium, or 32 slider-sized rolls:

 

For sponge:

1 package (2 1/2 tsp) dry active yeast (I used Fleischmann's “RapidRise” Yeast)

1/2 cup warm water

1/2 cup AP flour

 

Then add:

1 cup mashed orange sweet potato (also sold as yams)

2 tsp honey

1 1/4 teaspoons fine salt

1 large egg

3 tablespoons melted butter

3 to 3 1/2 cups flour AP flour, as needed to form the right texture dough (see blog post)

 

- Bake at 400 F. for 15 minutes, or until browned. Large buns may take an extra few minutes, and the sliders-sized may take a minute or two less.

Those buns sure look tasty and the recipe is very similar to my bun recipe but with the addition of the sweet potato. I can see me making those. Thanks for this recipe.
