Sweet Potato Bread
- 1 14 cups lukewarm water
- 2 12 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 34 cup sweet potato flour
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Combine water, yeast and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Set aside 10 minutes or until frothy.
- Add both flours and mix with the dough hook attachment until elastic but still sticky.
- Add salt and butter and continue to knead until butter is incorporated and dough is shiny, smooth, and elastic.
- Coat a bowl with oil.
- Turn the dough ball into the bowl, turning it to coat in oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, 60-90 minutes.
- Punch the dough down, give it a few folds over on itself, form back into a ball, recover and let rise again until doubled, 30-45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350F Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal.
- Lightly flour a work surface.
- Turn the dough out and give it a few turns of manual kneading.
- Form into a neat round (boule) or oval (batard) loaf and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cover and let rise until doubled again, 30 minutes more.
- With a very sharp knife, slash the top of the loaf - anything from one single slash to a decorative pattern will work.
- Bake in preheated oven 40-50 min until browned.
- Transfer to a rack and cool completely before slicing.
