Sweet Potato Dinner Buns | Thanksgiving Recipe

Sweet potato dinner rolls with step by step pictures.

It had been a quite long time since I baked bread/buns at home. I remember, a month before I baked a mini-sized choco filled buns and posted on my Instagram page. I couldn't post that in my blog as I did n't take step by step pictures. So last week when I had a piece of sweet potato I decided to try dinner rolls with it and it came out well.
