Sweet Potato Wheat Bread

By gtbalm

This bread has a dense texture, somewhat like a corn bread.

Ingredients

• Cycle Setting: Whole Wheat
• Crust Setting: As Desired
• 3/4 cup & 2 tablespoons cup milk
• 2/3 cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
• 2 cups bread flour, unsifted
• 2 cups whole wheat flour, unsifted
• 2 1/4 active dry yeast or bread machine yeast

Preparation

Step 1

If your machine does not have a preheat cycle, combine milk and potatoes and heat in microwave on HIGH power for 30 seconds (or heat in a saucepan for 1 minute to 80 degrees).
Add to the bread pan with the remaining ingredients according to the manufacturer's directions for your machine.
Set the cycle, loaf size and crust setting.
Press start.

After about 5 minutes of kneading, check the consistency of your dough. If dough is not in a smooth round ball, open lid and with machine ON, add liquid a tablespoon at a time if too dry, or add flour a tablespoon at a time if too wet.

Remove the bread promptly from the pan when the machine beeps or on completing the cycle.
Cool on rack before slicing.
