    (toxictink)

    Recipe Introduction


    This is the most delicious bread a person can serve. Even sweet potato-haters love it. Don't expect any leftovers.

    List of Ingredients




    2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast

    1-3/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)

    1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (without added milk or butter)

    1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter, softened, divided

    1/2 cup honey

    1 egg

    2 teaspoons salt

    3 cups whole wheat flour

    3-1/4 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    CREAM CHEESE NUT SPREAD:

    1 cup butter, softened

    1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

    1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts, toasted

    Recipe



    In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup butter, honey, egg, salt and whole wheat flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
    Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
    Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 25 minutes. Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown (cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly). Remove from pans to wire racks. Melt remaining butter; brush over warm bread. Cool.
    In a small mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Stir in walnuts. Serve with bread. Yield: 2 loaves.
