    2 tablespoons orange zest, grated
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    3/4 cup raisins, washed and dried or 3/4 cup currants
    1 (8 g) package instant quick-rising yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp if you buy yeast in bulk)

    1/4 cup margarine, melted or 1/4 cup butter

Preparation
    In a large bowl mix together 2 cups of whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oat bran, skim milk powder, orange zest, salt, raisins, and yeast.
    In a small saucepan, over low heat, heat sweet potatoes, margarine, honey, and potato cooking liquid until hot to the touch.
    Stir mixture and eggs into dry ingredients.

    With a sharp knife, cut dough into 16 equal pieces; shape each into a smooth ball.
    Place seam side down on lightly sprayed baking sheet, about 2 inches apart; cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
    Bake in preheated 375\u00b0F oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
