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!

Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- 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
- 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
- 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
