- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)

- Shape rolls: Punch down dough, divide, and shape into 12-15 rolls.
- Second rise: Place rolls on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Peel and cube sweet potato for faster cooking.
- A slightly sticky dough is okay; resist adding too much extra flour.
- Check rolls at 20 minutes as oven temperatures can vary.
- For freezing, shape the rolls, then thaw and let them rise before baking.
- Brush rolls with butter immediately after baking for added flavor.
