Yellow Sweet Potato Spiced Dinner Bun

This is a simple dinner bun, great served slightly warmed and slathered with good quality butter!!

I didn't realize that there were 'orange' and 'yellow' coloured filling sweet potatoes. A friend of mine told me that the yellow ones tasted better. I believed her and bought a bag.

1/2 tsp salt
15g dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp instant yeast
1/4 tsp nutmeg

1. Mix all ingredients together and knead until dough is pliable, about 10-15 min.
2. Rest covered dough in a warm area for 60 min.
3. Knock back dough gently and divide into small balls, about 50g.

6. Glaze buns with some milk and sprinkle oats over the top.
7. Proof dough in a warm area for 1 - 1.5 hours until double in size.
