Sweet Potatoes Rolls/ Straight Dough Method

Pin It Now!

I bookmarked this recipe once I read it. Using sweet potatoes as filling in rolls is new to me. Without any hesitate I baked these sweet potatoes rolls once I bought my favourite purple sweet potatoes from market.

Yes it is really delicious! Although is straight dough method the buns are soft and fluffy. Sweetness from the fillings and crumbs make these buns special. For those sweet potatoes lover these buns are good to try.
