Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls

In a large bowl of a stand mixer, add milk, yeast and honey. Let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.

Add sweet potato, eggs, butter and salt. Mix

With mixer running slowly add the flour.  Continue adding flour until dough comes together and begins to form a ball. You might not use all the flour. 

Knead in mixer for 5 minutes.

Remove from mixing bowl and place into a large greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled; 1 - 1 1/2 hours.

Remove cover and punch dough down.

Divide dough into fourths. Working with one fourth at a time, divide each fourth into six equal parts. Shape into rolls.

To make the cloverleaf shape, continue dividing each part into thirds. Roll each third into small balls. Drop three balls into a greased muffin tin.

Cover lightly and let rise for 30 minutes. 

Brush top of rolls lightly with melted butter.

Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 15-18 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly for a few minutes on a baking rack. Remove from tins or baking sheet and continue cooling.
