Apart from squashes, apples, and grapes, another wonderful produce to enjoy at this time of the year is the humble sweet potato. This tasty tuber is a great addition to your fall cooking and baking. The prices start coming down the closer we get to the holidays. I usually buy a few each week in place of regular potatoes and use them in main dishes, side dishes, salads, and desserts. I like them as a snack too, simply roasted and eaten with a dollop of butter.

Sweet Potatoes in Breads

Sweet potatoes are also great in quick breads and yeast breads. They give a tender crumb and a nice golden color to the loaf. Last year, I made a quick bread – Sweet Potato Pecan Bread. This time round, I am going to share a yeast bread recipe with you. I have made this loaf many times, usually minus the topping. I added some sliced almonds this time to give it a “festive” look.

Sliced Sweet Potato Yeast Bread

If you love homemade breads but do not have the time to knead and baby-sit the rising and punching down of the dough, a bread machine is a worthwhile investment. Mine is more than 8 years old and it is still working well. I use it at least twice a week.

Prep Time 2 hrs 10 mins
Cook Time 1 hr
Total Time 3 hrs 10 mins
Servings : 14
Calories : 81kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water (240ml)
  • 3 cups unbleached white bread flour (450g)
  • 2 tbsp oat bran
  • 8 oz cooked sweet potato (mashed) (225g)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp non-fat dry milk
  • 1½ tsp active dry yeast

Topping

  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds

Instructions
 

  • Pour water into the bread machine pan. Sprinkle flour and oat bran over liquid. Add sweet potatoes over flour. Add butter, sugar, salt, and non-fat dry milk in separate corners of the bread pan. Make a shallow indentation in the center and add yeast.
  • Snap bread pan into machine and set it to basic setting. Press start.
  • Remove kneading paddle after final kneading**.
  • When rising cycle is almost complete, just before bread starts to bake, brush the top of loaf with a little water. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of the bread pressing the almonds down very gently with your palm.
  • When bread is ready, remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.

Notes

**Removing the paddle prevents a big hole when you have to tear it out from the loaf at the end of the baking cycle.

Slice the loaf when it cools to room temperature. It is less crumbly and much easier to slice when cool.

    Lovely bread! The sweet potatoes must have added the sweetness and moistness of the bread! I’ve just posted a bread recipe too! I can’t imagine what I would do without my bread machine, as I’m too lazy to knead by hand! You are right, it is a worthwhile investment, I had mine close to five years! 🙂

    Your bread is gorgeous. I have a bread machine sitting on my counter but don’t use it near as much as I should and I don’t know why. This may be a good place to change that! It really is a gorgeous color…I love that the sweet potato add that.

    The bread machine is indeed a good kitchen helper…unfortunately mine broke down a couple of years ago and I didn’t bother to get a new one. Just use the stand mixer to do the kneading for me. I love making sweet potato bread too cos I love the texture:) Yours looks so fluffy and soft!

    I actually have a bread machine…in a kitchen pantry somewhere in the back shelf… I’ve never tried sweet potato bread before and from the picture we can tell it’s nice and soft inside… must be a little sweet? Looks fabulous! I have a bread flower too. I should take out the machine soon.

      Hi Shelli! So sorry about the typo. I cut and paste part of the instruction from another one of my bread recipes and somehow missed taking out the honey. This bread has no honey in it. I have corrected the error. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Maybe it’s my boiled potatoes but the dough was a little wet, I had to add some flour in as it was kneading in the machine to have it right, I probably ended up adding close the 1/2 cup bread flour. The sunk on top of your loaf(pictured) probably means yours was a tad wet too, over-proofed a bit , but really great!

      Perhaps I should have mentioned that I usually roast the sweet potato for this recipe. Even so, it can add quite a bit of moisture to the dough. Yes, just add flour until the dough is of the right consistency.
