Sweet Potato Buns

I loved the soft and fluffy texture of these buns.  Instead of using potato I used sweet potato which gives a light tinge of orangey to the buns.  This recipe is a keeper.  Thanks to Jane and Sabrina for sharing their Potato Buns recipes.  

Ingredients

250g bread flour
50g mashed sweet potatoes (kumara) - cooled
1 small eggs
50g caster sugar
70g fresh milk (adjust accordingly)
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp instant dried yeast
20g butter, softened

• Combine flour, sugar, salt and yeast together until well blended.  Add in eggs, milk and mashed sweet potato.   Knead until it forms a slightly sticky dough.   
• Then add in butter.  Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.  
• Shape dough into a ball and placed in a bowl covered with cling wrap.  Leave it in a warm place to rise until doubled.
• Punch down to expel trapped air.  Divide into 8 equal portions (or required weight).
• Rest for 10 mins.  
• Flatten the dough and then roll up like Swiss Rolls. 
• Place the rolls on a greased baking tray slightly apart.  Cover with cling wrap and leave to proof until doubled.
• Preheat oven to 170 deg C.  
• Brush rolls with egg wash and sprinkle some cheese or sesame seeds over the top.  Bake for 15 mins or until golden brown.
