Ingredients

Dough

  • 0.75 cup milk (warmed)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup mashed sweet potato (about ½ medium-sized sweet potato, cooked and mashed)
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)

Cinnamon Sugar Filling

  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)

Glaze

  • 8 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp milk
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions 

  • Activate yeast by mixing warm milk with yeast and letting sit for 5 minutes.
  • Combine wet ingredients with sugar, sweet potato, butter, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Add flour and knead until smooth and elastic.
  • Let dough rise in a greased bowl for 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
  • Roll dough into a 12"x16" rectangle, spread with softened butter, sprinkle cinnamon sugar, and cut into 15 squares. Stack and place in a lined loaf pan. Let rise for 30-45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F, brush with egg wash, and bake for 30-45 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 180°F. Cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze made from browned butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.

Notes

Ensure the dough is elastic and rises properly for the best texture.
