Tips for Baking the Perfect Southern Sweet Potato Bread:

  • Use fresh sweet potatoes: Fresh sweet potatoes yield the best flavor and texture for this bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a dense, tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A loaf pan helps to create a evenly cooked bread with a tender crumb.
  • Use a toothpick to test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
