Discover the rich flavors of homemade spiced sweet potato sourdough rolls. Perfectly fluffy, naturally fermented, and incredibly nutritious!
Ingredients
- • sweet potato: 1 large (about 1 cup mashed)
- • active sourdough starter: 1 cup
- • whole wheat flour: 3 cups
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • salt: 1 1/2 teaspoons
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • ground coriander: 1 teaspoon
- • ground turmeric: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • baking soda: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potato with a fork and bake it directly on the oven rack for about 45 minutes, or until tender. Allow it to cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, sourdough starter, and warm water. Stir until well mixed. Add in the whole wheat flour, salt, honey, olive oil, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- 3 Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- 4 Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 4 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- 5 Once risen, punch the dough down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
- 6 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Just before baking, sprinkle the rolls with a little flour and slash the tops with a sharp knife. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the bottom.
- 7 Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm with a pat of butter or as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite meal.
Serving Suggestions
- • These exotic spiced sweet potato sourdough rolls are a versatile addition to any meal. Serve them alongside a hearty lentil stew or a vibrant vegetable soup for a complete, satisfying dinner. For a lighter option, pair them with a fresh garden salad and a tangy vinaigrette. A cup of chai tea or a turmeric latte would complement the spice profile beautifully, making for a comforting and nourishing meal. Consider spreading a dollop of homemade hummus or avocado mash on these rolls for a delightful snack or appetizer. Their unique flavor profile also makes them an excellent choice for breakfast, enjoyed simply with a touch of honey or fruit preserve.
Storage Tips
To keep these rolls fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them: wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap, place them in a resealable freezer bag, and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw at room temperature and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, restoring their fresh-baked texture.
