Shilpa, not required. You can keep them them in open.

Do we have to cover buns during second proofing? Or we can just keep them in open?

Yes Vidya..you can freeze the rest of the dough or refrigerate it .Yes you can use active dry yeast.You should proof it separately.Adjust the quantity of liquid accordingly.

My oven is a small one, maybe 6-7 will go in at a time, can the remaining be kept ready while the first batch bakes ? Also can I use the active dry yeast ?

Very simple receipe. Trying it now.
How much time does 1st proofing n 2nd proofing take?
This is my first time using yeast and since i had sweet potatoes at home thought of making this.
Also for future use can i make this with wheat flour or half wheat flour? Will all ingredients n qty remain same? Esp the yeast.
