--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2 1/2              C  sweet potato -- large, peeled & cut into 
1/2" pieces, (about 12 oz.)
      2/3           cup  milk -- whole
      1/4           cup  water -- warm, (100F to 110F)
   2 1/4            tsp  active dry yeast -- (1/4-oz.)
   3        tablespoons  granulated sugar -- divided, +
   1           teaspoon  granulated sugar
   2              large  eggs
   6        tablespoons  butter -- melted, divided
   4 1/2           cups  bread flour -- plus more for kneading
   1 1/2    tablespoons  kosher salt
   2        tablespoons  cane syrup
      3/4      teaspoon  sea salt -- flaky

Warm, light, and fluffy, these extra-special buns will be the talk of 
the buffet line. This fall, we're sneaking sweet potatoes into 
everything, from our biscuits to gnocchi to waffles. Accordingly, 
mashed sweet potatoes are the secret ingredient in these bright, 
festive rolls. Not only do they add a luxurious orange color, but 
they also bring a bit of earthy sweetness to the bread. Just as you 
would with any other homemade, yeast-based bread, you'll want to 
prepare these rolls well in advance to allow them sufficient time to 
rise. The hour of resting time allows the rolls to develop their airy 
texture - while it proofs, you can expect the dough to double in 
size. In terms of rolling out the dough, here's a tip from our Test 
Kitchen: Use a light hand when flouring the work surface. You should 
be able to see the surface through the flour. Too much flour will 
create a chalky coating on the rolls. Drizzled with honey (or 
generously smeared with Hot Honey Butter), these rolls will add a 
touch of sweetness to your Thanksgiving feast. These buns are 
anything but boring.

Bring sweet potato and milk to a boil in a small saucepan over 
medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, stirring 
occasionally, until potatoes are very soft, about 20 minutes. Remove 
from heat. Using a potato masher or fork, mash potatoes with milk 
until very smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl to cool completely, 
about 30 minutes.

Stir together warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a 
small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Beat together sweet potato mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, 4 
tablespoons of the melted butter, and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar 
in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook on low to 
combine. With mixer running, gradually add bread flour and kosher 
salt, beating on low until dough is soft and smooth, about 4 minutes. 
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and 
elastic, about 5 minutes, adding up to 1/3 cup flour, as needed, if 
dough is very sticky. Transfer dough to a lightly greased large bowl, 
and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature until 
doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, 
and divide into 15 balls. Place balls in a lightly greased 13- x 
9-inch baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room 
temperature until almost doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour. 
Meanwhile, stir together cane syrup and remaining 2 tablespoons 
melted  butter; set aside.

Uncover rolls, and bake in preheated oven until light golden brown, 
18 to 22 minutes. Brush hot rolls with cane syrup butter; sprinkle 
with flaky sea salt. Serve immediately, or transfer rolls to a wire 
rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
