Soft, flaky, and delightfully tall! 🍠Did you know using ingredients with a high starch content, like sweet potatoes, enhances the ability for dough to retain moisture, resulting in softer and more tender bake? These dinner rolls take it even further by incorporating butter, milk, and eggs for the most irresistible pillowy texture.
