Instructions
- Combine warm water and yeast in a measuring cup; stir to dissolve. Set aside.
- Heat milk, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and milk begins to bubble.
- Place mashed sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and pour milk mixture over top. Add lemon juice and mix until smooth. Let cool to lukewarm, 10 to 15 minutes. Add egg and yeast mixture; blend well.
- Stir in 2 cups of flour and beat with an electric hand mixer at medium speed, about 3 minutes. Add enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a buttered bowl. Turn dough to butter top, then cover and let rise until double in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Punch down and knead once more, then shape into rolls. Place on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise until double in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter while hot.
