Sweet Potato Rolls

"Delicious fluffy yet heavy sweet potato rolls. The whole wheat flour and oat bran add extra fibre without being obvious because of the peach/orangey color of these buns. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or snack. In North America, sweet potatoes are often called yams. Yams -a tuberous starchy vegetable that is a staple in Africa. Recipe from Peak of the Market."

  1. love this bread, made it 2x now.I omit the raisins, use 1/2t salt (because it was a bit bland at 1/8t) use all whole wheat flour, 2T for both oil and honey. And the bread is still fluffy and soft
     
  2. Ilove sweet potatoes . can I put 4-1/2 CUP. of Whole wheat flour for this Recipe . and cinnamon .
     
  3. These are really soft rolls! 2T of orange zest ended up being one whole navel orange, and the rolls smelled (and tasted) of orange, not sweet potato! :) Since I baked up a bunch of sweet potatoes (to use in other things, as well), I didn't have any cooking liquid, but I also think the starch usually lost in the water was kept in the sweet potatoes by baking. I simply added 1 c. water instead of the cooking water. They are very good tasting, only slightly sweet, and will make excellent little sandwiches with leftover brisket tomorrow, I think! :) Thank you for posting, made for ZWT4.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi! Thanks for visiting my page! I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutritional Sciences in May 2008 after 5 years of hard work. My hard work paid off as I was accepted to a post graduate dietetic internship which I am currently completing and will be done in June. The internship allows me achieve professional designation as a registered dietitian. This is a very exciting but also a very busy time for me so I have not been contributing to zaar nearly as much as i'd like to. I have always loved baking and cooking and looking for healthier recipes or ways to make recipes healthier to fit into my lifestyle. I am pesco-vegetarian as I do not want animals to suffer for my consumption. I also love to be active in individual sports and train year round for triathlon. I am both an active racer and volunteer. The distance I prefer most is the Sprint distance - 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run. This upcoming race season marks my 16th year of participating in triathlon. I love it just as much, if not more, than I did 16 years ago!! I also have a newfound love for Iyengar yoga. I have a profound love for animals and the pretty little kitty you see as my icon is my 16 1/2 year old cat Snuggles. Sadly, Snug passed away in March 2006, and is dearly, dearly missed.
