Fluffy rolls with just a hint of sweetness have always been my nemesis. Then bring on the beautiful butter and I'm without any defences. SO good.

Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls

When it comes to using fresh yeast versus dry yeast I will choose fresh every time. I know it is not that easy to source, but if you ever can find it, it is totally worth giving it a go. The end results are fluffier, more fragrant and magical than the dry yeast counterparts. I used to try and use fresh yeast pre Thermomix days and had quite a few fails. Since Thermomix, never a fail. So go and find some fresh yeast and see what you think. These rolls are the perfect place to begin!

Incidentally, if you needed further coaxing, sweet potatoes are a nutritional powerhouse and a delightful addition to fluffy dinner rolls. Rich in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body, they support eye health and boost immunity. Sweet potatoes also provide dietary fiber, aiding digestion and creating a light, tender crumb in baked goods. Their natural sweetness reduces the need for added sugar, while their moisture content enhances the rolls' softness, making them irresistibly fluffy. Packed with essential nutrients like potassium and vitamin C, sweet potatoes add a healthy twist to traditional dinner rolls, making them as wholesome as they are delicious.
