Hi Everyone!

Sweet Potato Buns are easy and simple to make with minimum ingredients. These are pillow soft, airy, light buns with whole wheat flour. 

Notes:

* I've shared both methods Airfried and Microwave convection mode. 

* Use cooked and mashed sweet potatoes.

* Sieve whole wheat flour for 3-4 times.

* I used 1 cup = 120 gms of flour

* You can use normal sugar instead of jaggery powder.

* Use luke warm milk.

Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoons (black or white)

Method:

# Leave it for 20-25 minutes for 2nd proofing.

# Preheat airfrier / microwave convection mode @ 190'c.

If you bake in Airfrier preheat for 5 minutes.

# Mix milk and jaggery powder.

# Brush milk+ jaggery powder to the buns. Sprinkle sesame seeds.

Airfried buns:

# Place the buns in Airfrier and fry for 17 minutes.

# Once baked brush some butter.

# After 5 minutes unmold and allow it to cool on wire rack.

Microwave Convection mode:

# Grease baking tin with oil. Make small balls of dough and place in the greased tin leaving some space.

# Allow it to proof for 20-25 minutes.

# Preheat microwave convection mode@190'c.
