Discover these unique Sweet Potato and Olive Bread Rolls for a nutritious, savory twist on traditional rolls, full of fiber and flavor.
Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and cubed
- • whole wheat flour: 3 cups
- • active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • warm water: 1 cup (110°F/45°C)
- • pitted green olives: 1/2 cup, chopped
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • honey: 1 tablespoon
- • cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • ground coriander: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • baking soda: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until soft. Once done, mash them and set aside to cool.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is frothy.
- 3 Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes, olive oil, honey, cumin, coriander, and salt into the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- 4 Gradually add the whole wheat flour and baking soda to the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form.
- 5 Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Incorporate the chopped olives during the kneading process.
- 6 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
- 7 Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped at the bottom.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Savory Spiced Sweet Potato and Olive Bread Rolls pair beautifully with a hearty lentil soup or a fresh garden salad. For a more decadent treat, serve them warm with a slather of garlic-infused butter or a dollop of hummus. These rolls also make a delightful addition to a Mediterranean-inspired mezze platter, complete with roasted vegetables, feta cheese, and a variety of dips. For a beverage pairing, consider a robust red wine that complements the savory flavors, or a herbal tea like chamomile that offers a gentle counterbalance. These rolls are versatile enough to be enjoyed at brunch, dinner, or as an afternoon snack.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To maintain freshness, place them in a bread box or wrap them in parchment paper before sealing in a container. For longer storage, freeze the rolls individually wrapped in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
