"While these tender Sweet Potato Rolls will make an excellent addition to any Thanksgiving menu, they’re also a great way to use up leftover baked sweet potatoes for a post-Thanksgiving treat. Use these Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls as buns for turkey sandwiches, too!"
3. Using the paddle attachment for your stand mixer, add 3 cups of flour - 1 cup at a time - until a thick dough begins to form. When the dough begins to thicken you will need to switch to the dough hook attachment.
5. Because each cup of flour measures differently, it is important to focus on the feel of the dough. Begin with 3 cups of flour and increase if necessary.
6. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Continue to knead, adding flour as necessary, until you have a smooth, elastic dough. The dough should not feel tough or dry, but rather soft and pliable (but not sticky).
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper. (Note: Alternatively, you can bake the rolls in greased round cake pans instead of on baking sheets).
4. As tempting as it is to eat rolls fresh out of the oven, it is best to let them rest for about 10 minutes before eating them, otherwise they maybe gummy inside.
