Recipe Tips
If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour, but not too much to keep the rolls soft
You can skip the glaze or replace it with a drizzle of honey for a more natural sweetness
Serve warm for the best texture and flavour
Method
1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F)
2
In a medium bowl, mash the sweet potato with a fork. Then add self-raising flour and melted butter, and mix to form a dough. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour, but avoid adding too much to prevent the cinnamon rolls from becoming too hard
3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 1 centimetre thick
4
Brush the top with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar
5
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough into a sausage shape
6
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 individual rolls
7
Place the slices on a muffin tin or baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes
8
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool. While they’re cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing icing sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of water until you reach the desired consistency
9
Buon appetito!
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days
Freeze for up to 3 months
To reheat after freezing: Thaw the cinnamon rolls in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through
