Delight in Savory Sweet Potato & Herb Swirl Rolls. Perfect blend of sweet and savory, packed with nutrients. Bake a batch and enjoy homemade goodness!
Ingredients
- • sweet potato: 1 large, cooked and mashed
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • whole wheat flour: 2 cups
- • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
- • olive oil: 3 tablespoons
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • fresh rosemary: 1 tablespoon, chopped
- • fresh thyme: 1 tablespoon, chopped
- • fresh chives: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the warm water and honey, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- 3 Add the mashed sweet potato, olive oil, salt, and whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour until the dough begins to come together.
- 4 Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 5 Roll the dough out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the surface with chopped rosemary, thyme, chives, and black pepper.
- 6 Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7 Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- 8 Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, savory flavors!
Serving Suggestions
- • These Savory Sweet Potato & Herb Swirl Rolls pair beautifully with a simple green salad or a hearty vegetable soup, making for a balanced and fulfilling meal. For a refreshing beverage, consider serving with a chilled herbal tea or a lightly sparkling water flavored with a hint of lemon. For a more indulgent twist, you can serve these rolls with a side of softened herb-infused butter or a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. This adds a touch of richness that complements the naturally sweet and savory notes of the rolls.
Storage Tips
To maintain their freshness, store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the rolls in a zip-lock bag for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature and warm in the oven at 300°F for about 10 minutes to regain their soft, fluffy texture.
