Last week, in sharing about my market find of purple-flesh sweet potatoes, I said I was going to try making sweet bread with it and share the results with you. Well, I did make the sweet bread, and I had extra mashed sweet potatoes and decided to make sweet potato rolls à la cinnamon rolls. My favourite of the two? The sweet potato rolls!
The taste testers liked both baked goods. Everyone said that although they were told upfront about the sweet potatoes present in the bread and rolls, that they did not detect anything different in terms of taste or texture. Frankly, they were not meant to. The idea for me was to see how well the sweet potatoes could be incorporated into baked treats. On the other hand, when they had the yeasted bread and bread rolls last week, they swooned over the texture (tenderness) of the loaf and rolls. Most ate the two with butter and made sandwiches. I personally liked how the colour got a lovely shade of purple when toasted.
