Ingredients

1 1/3 cups warm water (90 degrees F (32 degrees C))
1 cup poi (taro root powder)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon purple food coloring
1 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed

Directions

1

Combine water, poi, butter, egg, yeast, and purple food coloring in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let stand until yeast softens and forms a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Add sugar and salt.
2

Mix on low speed, adding flour gradually, until dough comes together and texture is smooth.
3

Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Divide into 18 pieces; shape into rolls.
4

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
5

Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20 minutes.
6

Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms start to brown, about 20 minutes.
