These sweet potato rolls are simply delicious!! No Matter who tastes them it is guaranteed that they will love them. They are so easy to make, yet they really look impressive especially if you are using orange sweet potatoes. My family and friends loves these sweet potato rolls, and who can blame them. The pastry on these sweet potato rolls are baked to a crispy and golden glow each roll filled with sweet potato which is baked into a sweet, sticky, toffee-like perfection. Believe me they are really good!!
And if I haven’t said so, they are really easy to make. 😉
Simply boil the sweet potatoes until soft then mash until smooth.
Next lay out a store-bought puff pastry sheet, smear the mashed sweet potato evenly over the pasty and roll the pastry up tightly. Slice and place in a deep baking dish.
Prepare the cream sauce and pour the sauce over the rolled dough slices and bake. Now, you can’t disagree this is pretty easy. I have included the recipe for dough. This is a quick and easy to make dough. However it can easily be changed for store bought puff pastry just to save on some time and effort. The taste still remains amazing.
Filling and rolling up dough has endless possibilities. From sweet to savoury, a party snack, side dish or main meal. They are easy to make and fun to eat. This recipe reminds me of a good Cinnabon. Why not check out the recipe here for your next baking adventure. Make your own Cinnabons .
They are pretty much the same concept of filling and then rolling up the dough. Store bought puff pastry can also be used here.
Sweet potato rolls
Pre heat oven to 180 ËšC
Grease a +/-30cm rectangle, deep oven dish and set aside.
You have an option of making this dough or using store bought puff pastry. Both works wonderful in this recipe.
Ingredients:
Dough
250g Butter, soften
750ml All-purpose flour
15ml Baking powder
2 Large eggs
125ml Milk
Filling:
3 Medium sweet potatoes (the orange type looks the best, but any kind will work)
Sauce:
150ml Brown Sugar
250ml Fresh Cream
Extra butter and brown sugar for the baking dish.
Directions
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot filled with water and bring to boil. Boil the sweet potatoes until soft. Drain the water and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Set the mashed sweet potato aside and allow to cool.
Next start by making the dough. (If you are using store bought dough you can skip this step. Just ensure that your dough is thoroughly defrosted and ready to be used.)
Add all the dry ingredients for the dough into a large bowl. Use your finger tips and rub the butter into the dry ingredients creating crumbs. Once all the butter is worked in, you can add one egg at a time, mixing well after every addition. Now add the milk and knead into a soft yet firm dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangular shape, around 5mm thick.
Now scoop a generous amount of sweet potato mash into the centre, and spread it into a thick layer, covering the pastry completely. Roll up the pastry so that it is the shape of a sausage.
Now cut the roll-up pastry into 2cm thick slices.
Place a few small pieces of butter, spaced out, and sprinkle a very thin layer brown sugar over the base of the deep baking dish. Place the cut rolls into the dish. Set aside.
To make the sauce add the sugar and cream into a pot and bring to boil over medium heat. Once it starts to boil remove it from the heat and pour over the sweet potato rolls.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!
