Sweet Potato Yeast Bread

Growing up, my mom baked a lot of bread.  One of my favorite memories was baking bread on Saturday mornings.  We had a huge bowl, and we would make a quadruple batch of plain dough, and then the four of us would get a quarter of the dough to make our own special loaf.  I loved to make cinnamon bread.  And nothing is better than bread fresh from the oven!

I have been looking for a recipe for bread with some fall flavors.  I adapted one that I found for potato yeast bread, and tried sweet potatoes and some fall spices.  And a little brown sugar.





Sweet Potato Yeast Bread

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon each ground cloves and cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Preparation:

Add ingredients according to manufacturer's suggested order. Use white bread setting, light crust.
Makes a 2-pound loaf.



This is wonderful!  It is just the right blend of flavors, a little sweet, a little savory.  The sweet potato adds moisture and a nice delicate texture.



Fresh from the oven (well, bread machine...)?  Fabulous.  This would make great french toast.  Or a delicious turkey sandwich.  Leftovers would make out of this world bread pudding.

But I am thinking leftovers of this one aren't likely at our house.  We couldn't finish taking pictures without a taste.

  8. It is considerably more advantageous to prepare your own bread as opposed to purchasing bread that contains substance added substances, hydrogenated oils, unfortunate additives, and swelling sweeteners.bread machine manual

  10. Whole wheat flour, called wholemeal strong flour in some countries, differs greatly from regular white bread flour. Bread machines are designed to allow for these differences yet still produce a delicious bread.
