FRUITY SWEET POTATO YEAST BREAD



Fruity Sweet Potato Yeast Bread image

I love to bake yeast bread. I got the idea for this recipe from a TOH magazine, then added fruit and ingredients that I knew would help it to raise and keep it moist. I think you will like it. You may of course omit the fruit and also use all honey if you can't find the malt syrup, but it helps whole grain bread raise. This also makes excellent rolls or mini loaves.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right sweet potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have a deep orange color. Avoid potatoes that have blemishes or bruises.
  • Baking the sweet potatoes: To get the most flavor out of your sweet potatoes, bake them until they are very soft and slightly caramelized.
  • Preparing the yeast mixture: Make sure the water you use to activate the yeast is warm, but not hot. The ideal temperature is between 105°F and 115°F. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast and your bread will not rise.
  • Kneading the dough: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the bread its structure. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Letting the dough rise: The dough should rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will usually take about 1 hour.
  • Baking the bread: Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Conclusion:

Fruity sweet potato yeast bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is made with simple ingredients and can be easily made at home. The bread is soft and fluffy, with a slightly sweet flavor. The dried fruit and nuts add a nice crunch and texture. This bread is a great way to enjoy sweet potatoes and is a healthy alternative to traditional white bread.
