Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potato Mash:

  • 1 large sweet potato about 300g, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup 120ml water

For the Bread Dough:

  • 3 cups 360g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon 15g instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon 15g miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon 5g salt
  • 1/4 cup 60ml warm water
  • 1/4 cup 60ml warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon 15ml honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup 30g mixed seeds (such as sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds)
  • 1/4 cup 30g sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon 15ml olive oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potato Mash:

  • Boil the Sweet Potato: In a small saucepan, combine the diced sweet potato and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender.
  • Mash the Sweet Potato: Drain any excess water and mash the sweet potato until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the Bread Dough:

  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, miso paste, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Add the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, warm milk, honey (or maple syrup), and olive oil. Add the sweet potato mash and stir until well combined.
  • Combine the Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add the mixed seeds and sesame seeds during the last minute of kneading to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  • First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Shape the Dough: Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Second Rise: Cover the loaf pan with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rise again for about 45-60 minutes, or until it has almost doubled in size.
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the Bread: Bake the bread for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Ensure the sweet potato is fully cooked and tender before mashing.
  • You can adjust the amount of miso paste to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend and ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
