Sweet Potato Bread lifts fall breads to another level! Moist, airy and light for sandwiches or toasting.
I love this bread toasted with a slab of honey butter melted on top! Apricot jam is special on this toast too. Enjoy!
Welcome to another fun addition of #BreadBakers!
#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page.
We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.
If you are a food blogger and would like to join us, just send Stacy an email with your blog URL to foodlustpeoplelove@gmail.com.

Ingredients
- 1 medium cooked sweet potato, mashed (about 1 cup when mashed)
- 1/4 cup warm water 110 to 120 degrees
- 1/2 cup warm milk 110 to 120 degrees
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 packet dry yeast (I used Red Star)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups flour
Instructions
- Mix together flour, sugar, salt, yeast and 1 3/4 cups flour.
- Bring water, milk and butter to a temperature of 110 to 120 (Red Star yeast users 120 to 130) add to sweet potato and blend.
- Stir wet mixture into dry mixture. Add 1 1/2 cups flour.
- Turn out onto lightly floured board. Knead into a smooth ball (6 to 8 minutes.)
- Place dough ball into a large, lightly greased bowl. Cover and set in a warm place to double in size.
- Punch down risen dough and shape in loaf. Place in greased 5x9 loaf pan, cover and let rise again.
- Bake at 375 for approximately 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove baked bread from pan and allow to completely cool on a rack before slicing.
Food for Thought…Have you ever tried sweet potato in baked goods like muffins, cake or pie? Sweet Potato Pie is one of my favorites. I feel it’s better than pumpkin!
