Skyrim ~ Sweet Roll

When planning this recipe my first thought was a cinnamon roll, that is what I thought the in game sweet roll looked like. But, I did not ant to make another cinnamon roll recipe so here is my take on Skyrim's sweet roll. 

It is similar to a Hawaiian Sweet Roll but I altered the recipe a bit. I also iced one with some pineapple flavored icing but the rolls just plain are quite sweet and pineapple-y.

Here is the iced one. 

You will need:

2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

3 eggs

11/2 cup pineapple juice

3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 cups all-purpose flour

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. 

Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

When it smells like funky beer. It's ready.

In a large bowl, beat the yeast mixture, eggs, pineapple juice, sugar, ginger, vanilla.

The is what the dough looks like after 3 cups of flour have been added.

 

Here is the full 6 cups.

Gradually stir in flour until a stiff batter is formed   

Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.

See how much higher it is. Yay!

Turn the dough onto a well floured surface. It will be sticky and stretchy. Use a knife or pull it apart to make balls. 

Divide the dough into 2 - 2 1/2oz pieces and form loosely into round balls.

Don't have a food scale. It is about the 2 inches in diameter or you can cup it in the palm of your hand. 

It doesn't have to be perfect. 

You can eyeball them so they are close to the same size.

Place the balls into a lightly greased cake pans or dish. 

Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until tops are golden brown.

Yum!

4 pounds sweet potatoes, quartered
1 cups margarine
1 cups brown sugar
3 cups miniature marshmallows, divided
ground cinnamon to taste
ground nutmeg to taste


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (But not now, I'll say when.)
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Add quartered potatoes and boil until slightly underdone, about 15 minutes.

Drain and let cool.
Preheat oven to  400 degrees F (200 degrees C) now.

Don't fret about peeling them, After par-boiling them the skins will easily pull off. See.

If you are peeling the sweet potatoes and you happen to drop one. The 5 second rule does not apply if your cat runs over, licks the potato and proceeds to bat it around the kitchen floor.
This is a good lesson on letting things go & mopping kitchen floors.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine margarine, brown sugar, 2 cups marshmallows, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until marshmallows are melted.

Stir potatoes into marshmallow sauce.
While stirring mash about half of the potatoes, and break the others into bite-sized chunks.

Transfer to greased baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and cover top evenly with remaining marshmallows.

Return to oven and bake until marshmallows are golden brown.

Yum!
