Recipe #23: Sweet potato buns

This bread is a bit dense, but works well on a burger. Perfect and quick for a weeknight dinner, not to mention very healthy! 

Ingredients: 

- Sweet potatoes - 2

- Self-raising flour -1 cup (more depending upon the size of your potatoes)

- Egg- 1 (for glazing)

- Olive oil (for greasing)

- Salt (to taste) 

- Sesame seeds

Method: 

- Boil sweet potatoes, peel skin and mash the rest. (For a shortcut- Slit the potato along the sides, dampen with a bit of water and microwave for 5-6 mins). 

- Add sale raising flour until the mixture makes a soft dough. Add salt to taste.

- Grease a baking tray with oil and roll the dough into smooth balls of equal size. Glaze the buns with the beaten egg mixture. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the bun. 

- Bake @400 F for 15-18 mins, or until the bun turns a bit brown. 

- I then cut the bun and pan roasted a bit before serving it with a breaded fish patty, arugula and chipotle aioli.
