Purple sweet potato wholemeal loaf (version 1)




I noticed that creating bread using potato turns out very soft and moist.  You do not need any starter dough at all, from my past experiences.

The color turned out slightly pale purple but I still think it looks feminine and beautiful !
To make it more attractive, I decorated it with some cranberries, poppy seeds and pepitas.




























Just be mindful that the dough may be a little wet, as Sweet potato puree contains a bit of liquid.  So, slowly add in water as you do not want it too wet.

Ingredients
1.  200g purple sweet potato ( steamed and mashed).
2.  350g bread flour
3.  50g wholemeal flour
4.  2 tablespoon sugar
5.  3/4 teaspoon salt
6.  1 egg
7.  150ml water ( add slowly, potato may be too wet already)
8.   2 teaspoon instant yeast
9.   40g butter ( I used grapeseed oil with the same amount)






























Methods:
Bread machine

1.  All wet ingredients go in first, salt on one side, sugar on the other side, last is the yeast on top of the flour.
2.  Set to "dough" menu and press "start".
3.  When complete,  let dough sit on working surface, deflate to release air bubbles.
4.  Shape into a ball,  rest gluten for 10 minutes.
5.  Roll dough like you would roll a swiss roll, tuck the two ends in nicely.
6.  Let it rest in a warm area for one hour or until it doubles in size.
7.  A quick spray of water onto the surface of dough if you wish to decorate the top of the dough.
8.  Bake for 180 deg, 25 minutes ( for pullman tin with lid on ).  Further 5 minutes in the oven without the lid after that.  Done!
