Description
  I love a classic whole wheat bread, but I also love those potato buns for hamburgers. So I decided to combine the 2, and modify my classic bread recipe to include some sweet potato. Sweet potatoes give a slight orange color and mild sweetness, that make the loaf just a little bit better. In this photo here, I used some Roasted Sweet Potato Puree as a spread for double sweet potato action!

Time
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Rest Time: 2 hours
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes

 Cost
Total Cost: $3.05
Cost per Serving: $0.13
Ingredients
- 1 medium (201 g) Cooked sweet potato ($0.44)
- 1.25 cup (296 g) Water ($0.00)
- 1 tbsp (10 g) Dry Yeast ($0.48)
- 1.25 tsp (8 g) Salt ($0.00)
- 2 tsp (9 g) Extra virgin olive oil ($0.12)
- 1 tsp (5 g) White vinegar ($0.00)
- 3 cup (372 g) Whole wheat flour ($0.92)
- 1/2cup + 1tbsp (81 g) Vital wheat gluten ($1.05)

Instructions
1.  Peel your sweet potato, and cut into cubes. Add to a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to medium, and simmer for around 15-18 minutes, until the potato can be easily crushed with the back of a spoon. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out the potatoes, and reserve the water (you will need it later in the bread). Let everything cool to room temperature

2.  In a large bowl, combine the water (use the leftover boiling water, and add some fresh water if you need more) and the sweet potatoes. Mash with a fork or potato masher, and fully combine into the water

3.  From here, you can proceed on with making the loaf of bread as normal. Since bread making can be quite complicated, I will leave the link to my 100% Whole Wheat Bread recipe, which breaks down my steps for a loaf of bread. Note that this dough is a little stickier than I am used to
