Sweet Potato Bread (Not Cake)

I had been wanting to make bread from a sweet potato for some time now. This recipe is a little more dense than I imagined it to be, but was still rather fluffy and moist. The flavor of the sweet potato is evident in more of the aftertaste than the initial bite. I was also pleased with the nice orange color it took on from the sweet potato. It may require more flour than you think to form the stiff dough, or cut back on some of the water if the mashed sweet potato itself is rather wet.

Sweet Potato Bread

Loaf Ingredients: 
1 cup mashed sweet potato (skin and all)
1 cup sweet potato water
1/4 cup water (if needed)
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp yeast
4+ cups unbleached or bread flour
1 tsp salt

Directions:
1) Boil the sweet potatoes with enough water to cover it at all times. Blend it up. Cool it to finger warm. Save the water.
2) Pour the water the sweet potato was boiled in into a measuring cup until you have 1 cup. If you don't have enough, add enough water to get 1 cup liquid total. Dissolve honey into water and add yeast to proof.
3) Mix mashed sweet potato with liquid mixture.
4) Add flour to mixing bowl with salt and sweet potato/liquid mixture. If too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time. If too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time.
5) Knead by machine for 3-8 minutes.
6) Place dough in lightly-oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit until doubled in size; about 1/2 an hour.
7)  On floured surface, punch down dough and separate into two loaves for bread or into 6-8 smaller rolls if preferred.
8) Let rise in oiled pans until doubled in size.
9) For Bread loaves:
    Bake in preheated oven at 350 F for 25-30 min.
    For Rolls:
    Bake in preheated oven at 400 F for 10-15 min.
10) Let cool on wire racks.

To Keep Moist:
While still slightly warm, place in bread bag and tie it off.

For Better Slicing:
Let sit in refrigerator overnight.

Remember that this bread has no preservatives and requires refrigeration if you intend to keep it longer than a day. This bread freezes well and should taste fresh after a month.
