Sweet Potato Bread - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
350 g sweet potatoes
500 g strong plain white flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 (1/4 ounce) sachet easy-blend dried yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds
fresh ground black pepper
175 ml warm water
Preparation
-
Peel and dice the potatoes, then boil them for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, and then mash thoroughly. Leave to cool.
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl, then add the yeast, caraway seeds and black pepper.
Add the sweet potato and rub it in well.
Add enough water to make a soft dough, and knead until smooth and elastic.
Leave the dough in a warm place until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
Knock back the dough on a floured surface and knead again briefly. Place in a greased loaf tin and leave to rise again for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/ gas mark 6 and bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes until the bread is risen, golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped underneath.
