Sweet potato curry bread

Ingredients

2 medium size sweet potato
4 Tbsp butter
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 cups king arthur all purpose flour
1/4 tsp yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp light brown sugar
1-1.5 cups water

Start by peeling and cutting the sweet potato. Steam the sweet potato for about 15-20 minutes. It should be very tender. Add curry power, cinnamon, melted butter and mash. It doesn't have to be totally smooth and I find it is nice to have little chunks. This step can be done several hours in advance.

Take half the sweet potato mash and mix it with 3 cups of flour, brown sugar, salt and yeast. Depending on how wet your sweet potato mash is, you may need less water. Start by adding 1 cup of warm water and mix the dough. If it's too dry, add more water. You want a wet no-knead dough.






Let it rise for 12 hours. Turn the dough out on to your work surface and flatten it. Take out the remaining sweet potato mash and microwave it for 1 min. spread a thin layer over the dough and roll. This time I put it in a loaf pan, since my daughter wanted it as a regular loaf, so she could have toast. Let it rise for 1-1.5 hours. Bake at 350F for 45-60 minutes or until golden brown.

I forgot to oil the loaf pan and had a hard time getting it out. The flavor and aroma was great though. The sweet potato is slightly sweet with a good kick from the cinnamon and curry.
