Sweet Potato Bread

Kitzy's Note:

A lot of sweet potato bread recipies on Zaar seem to have a lot of butter and sugar in, but this version is the type you'd make a cheese sandwich with!

• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 14

Yield: 1.0 loaf

• 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

Directions:

1. Peel and dice the potatoes, then boil them for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, and then mash thoroughly. Leave to cool.
2. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl, then add the yeast, caraway seeds and black pepper.
3. Add the sweet potato and rub it in well.
4. Add enough water to make a soft dough, and knead until smooth and elastic.
5. Leave the dough in a warm place until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
6. 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.
7. 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.

This is a very tasty bread, and not sweet! Went well with some split pea soup. Love the caraway.
