Orange Sweet Potato Rolls with Cinnamon Orange Honey Butter

FOR THE ORANGE SWEET POTATO ROLL:

Peel and cut sweet potatoes into small chunks. Place in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer until very soft (about 10 minutes). Drain and mash until smooth. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water. Stir in a tablespoon of sugar and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, orange zest, butter, salt, eggs and the rest of the sugar. Mix well. Mix in flour and place dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 3 to 4 minutes, adding enough flour to prevent sticking. Form into a ball and place in an oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size. Punch down and let rest for 3 minutes. Shape into 20 balls and place in a buttered baking pan/sheet. Cover and allow to rise until doubled in size. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes. Serve hot with cinnamon orange honey butter.

FOR THE CINNAMON ORANGE HONEY BUTTER:
