Ingredients

• 1 cup Sweet potato puree (from cooked sweet potatoes)
• 0.5 cup Warm milk
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar (for filling)
• 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon (for filling)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and instant yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet potato puree, melted butter, and the yeast mixture. Mix until smooth.

Step 3

Add flour and salt to the wet mixture, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.

Step 4

Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x15 inches.

Step 5

Spread softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon on top, covering the entire surface.

Step 6

Tightly roll the dough from the longer side into a log, then slice into 12 equal pieces.

Step 7

Place the rolls in a greased 9-inch round or square baking pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 15 minutes in a warm place.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Bake the cinnamon rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 10

While the rolls bake, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
