2-Ingredient Sweet Potato Rolls: No Yeast
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) cooked sweet potato , mashed
- 1 cup (240 ml) self rising flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In bowl, combine sweet potato and flour. Stir with a fork until a dough ball forms. Make sure to scrape all the flour and sweet potato along the sides of the bowl.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the soft dough ball for about 1 minute, or until smooth. Don’t keep adding too much flour to the dough or else it will be tough and hard. You want to keep the dough soft and pliable, so don’t over-knead it.
- Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll the dough between your hands to form 6 balls. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and let the dough balls rest for about 30 minutes (they will also rise slightly).
- Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are cooked through. Allow to cool and serve with butter or as small sliders or sandwiches.

I couldn’t believe how easy these were to make at home. The whole family loves it.
TonyA says
They were delicious, but the tiny amount of salt in the self-rising flour is not enough. I needed to add ~1/4 teaspoon (to taste) during the dough mixing.

Thanks for the feedback Tony! Glad you enjoyed the rolls. And normally it can take up to 48 hours for comment approval, especially when it’s the weekend.

Patty says
So glad these were easy enough to make from home with the limited amount of ingredients we have. They came out so perfect. Thanks for a great recipe.
Farwa says
Can sweet potato be substituted with a regular potato? Thanks!
Best Recipe Box says
Hi! We tried it with regular potato and it just came out too hard and dry. The sweet potato is more tender and soft, which worked great in the rolls.
Kate says
Can I use an alternate flour?
Best Recipe Box says
Hi Kate, we haven’t tested it with any alternate flours yet. Hoping one of our readers has tried it and will give some feedback. Thank you!
