Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the sweet potato rolls

  • 350 g self raising flour
  • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons caster sugar optional
  • pinch salt optional
  • 75 ml milk we used oat milk
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice or white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 300 g sweet potato purée

For the cinnamon filling

  • 50 g brown sugar or coconut sugar for a healthier alternative
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/gas mark 6.
  • Line a baking tray with non stick baking paper and set aside.
  • First mix together your cinnamon sugar. Place 50g brown or coconut sugar into a bowl and add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix to combine. Set aside.
  • Weigh out 350g self raising flour, ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt (optional) and place in a mixing bowl. Use a whisk to mix together. If you're adding sugar to your dough add that now too (2-4 tbsp).
  • Place 75ml milk into a jug and add ½ tablespoon lemon juice.
  • Pour over the flour mixture and stir to combine.
  • Add 300g sweet potato purée and mix again into a rough dough*.
  • Knead in the bowl for a minute or two until you have a smooth ball of dough.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and pat or roll the dough out into a rectangle that is roughly the same size as a sheet of A4 paper**.
  • Sprinkle over the cinnamon sugar leaving a 3cm border at the end closest to you.
  • Starting from the edge furthest away from you roll one of the long edges of your dough up into a spiral shape, pressing with your fingers as you go. If your dough is sticking to the work surface you may find a dough scraper helps.
  • Once you have a long spiral shape use a sharp knife to cut into 10 rounds and place cut side down on your prepared baking tray.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until turning golden brown.

Notes

  1. *If you feel it needs it add a little extra milk a spoonful at a time until it comes together into a dough - take care not to add too much or your dough will be very sticky.
  2. ** 210mm x 297mm or 8.3 x 11.7 inches
