Discover these savory turmeric and ginger sweet potato rolls, a nutritious twist on homemade bread with anti-inflammatory benefits. Try them today!
Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, cooked and mashed (about 1 cup)
- • all-purpose flour: 3 cups
- • whole wheat flour: 1 cup
- • active dry yeast: 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- • warm water: 1/2 cup
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • ground turmeric: 1 teaspoon
- • ground ginger: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • olive oil: 1/4 cup
- • egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready when your rolls are fully risen.
- 2 In a small bowl, combine the warm water and honey, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 3 In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, olive oil, turmeric, ginger, and salt. Mix well.
- 4 Add the yeast mixture to the bowl with the sweet potatoes, then gradually add the all-purpose and whole wheat flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- 5 Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
- 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 doubles in size.
- 7 Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 8 Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a shiny finish, if desired. Let them rise again for 15 minutes.
- 9 Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
- 10 Allow the rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to enjoy them at their best texture.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Savory Turmeric and Ginger Sweet Potato Rolls pair beautifully with a hearty vegetable stew or a creamy pumpkin soup for a comforting meal. For a refreshing contrast, serve them with a salad of mixed greens, pomegranate seeds, and a light vinaigrette. For a delightful brunch spread, consider serving these rolls with a selection of homemade spreads, such as herbed ricotta or a simple honey butter. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a warm cup of ginger tea would complement the flavors of the rolls perfectly.
Storage Tips
To keep your rolls fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil and place them in a freezer bag to freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw at room temperature and warm in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to regain their fresh-baked texture.
