It is a strangely therapeutic process. I can&#8217;t explain how much I like the feel of bread dough after the first proof; it is so silky smooth and soft &#8211; delightful. I knew I wanted to make sweet potato into bread, but not like a cakey bread, a real yeast dough bread. After the first time I made it, I realized it needed a little more, so I added the sun-dried tomato mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second time I made it, I tried doing a plain snail swirl, but this didn&#8217;t give a very even distribution of the sun-dried tomato, and I really wanted some in every single bite, so I ended up trying out a braided pattern, which is typical of Russian braided bread. This was perfect as the dough then contained a beautiful twist of both flavors while staying moist due to the extra moisture given by the sun-dried tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dough itself is given a gentle orange tinge from the potato, but nothing too bright. The flavor of the potato is delicate. The best thing I have found about this bread is how soft it is. I&nbsp;think this is wholly down to the addition of the mashed potato to the dough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using real, fresh, mashed sweet potatoes, instead of sweet potato flour, we get to enjoy the natural juices and texture of the potato, meaning you get the full experience of all the wonderful things this versatile vegetable has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The braid itself is not complicated, just a little tricky, but I have included lots of detailed step-by-step photos and instructions below. After a second proof in the springform pan, the bread is ready for the oven. Once baked, let cool, then slice and enjoy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This bread would be a perfect centerpiece for lunch, dinner, or even Thanksgiving, and can be made a couple of days in advance. I have made this three times now and note that the bread stays good for 5-6 days if wrapped in tin foil and stored in a bread bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/01-Sliced-Bread-1.jpg\" alt=\"close-up image of a freshly baked sweet potato and sun-dried tomato braided bread resting on a cutting board, with two slices cut from it\n\" class=\"wp-image-862\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fall Flavor.<\/strong>&nbsp;This bread is infused with fall flavor from the sweet potato and maple syrup. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Taste.<\/strong> The taste of this bread will have you coming back for more!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fun Baking Project. <\/strong>This bread takes a little effort and some special techniques that avid bakers will love. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Sweet Potato Braided Bread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This sweet potato bread is stunning to look at and delightful to eat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Ingredients&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sweet Potato. <\/strong>Sweet potato adds a subtle sweetness and earthiness to this bread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yeast.<\/strong> Use instant yeast for this bread recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All-Purpose Flour.<\/strong> This flour is low in protein and helps create a lighter bread. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>White Bread Flour.<\/strong> This flour is high in protein and helps create the perfect chewiness in the bread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter.<\/strong> Butter gives this bread a buttery taste and adds air packets to the baked bread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maple Syrup. <\/strong>This sweetener pairs perfectly with sweet potato and adds a nice fall flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sun-Dried Tomato.<\/strong> Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for the best flavor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plain Passata Sauce. <\/strong>This tomato pur\u00e9e is made with fresh ingredients and adds an intense tomato flavor.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Basil.<\/strong> Basil brings out the flavor of the sun-dried tomatoes and passata sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Prepare the Sweet Potato.<\/strong> In a large saucepan, add the sweet potato cubes and cover with water. Bring it to a boil and boil until tender. Drain and mash with a potato masher, allow to cool fully. Reserve some of the water the potatoes were boiling in for later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Combine the Dry Ingredients.<\/strong> In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, and salt and stir thoroughly to combine evenly. Use your hands to rub the butter into the flour so that you have a mixture that resembles fine bread crumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Make the Bread Dough.<\/strong> Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and add the sweet potato mash, half of the water, and the maple syrup. Mix until the dough comes together. Gradually add the rest of the water until you have a whole piece of dough that does not stick to the sides of the bowl. Knead the dough thoroughly for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>First Rise. <\/strong>Bring water to a boil and set aside. Place the dough in a large bowl and cover with saran wrap. Place the bowl with the dough onto the lowest shelf in the oven, and place a small bowl filled with boiled water in the bottom of the oven. Close the door and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <strong>Make the Sun-Dried Tomato Mixture.<\/strong> Place the sun-dried tomatoes, pasta sauce, basil, salt, and pepper into a blender, and blend until you have a smooth paste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. <strong>Knead the Dough. <\/strong>Remove the dough from the oven and turn out onto a well-floured surface. Knead for a few minutes, then use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/01-Kneading-Dough.jpg\" alt=\"top view image of hands kneading dough with scattered flour\" class=\"wp-image-858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/01-Kneading-Dough.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/01-Kneading-Dough-164x246.jpg 164w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>7. <strong>Add the Sun-Dried Tomato Mixture.<\/strong> Spread the sun-dried tomato mixture over the rolled-out dough. Roll it into a cylinder shape rolling along the long side and then pinch the ends together to seal. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough cylinder all the way down the middle lengthwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8.<strong> Create the Braid.<\/strong> Lay both halves of the dough on the counter with the layers facing upwards. Cross over the two pieces in the middle to create an X shape. Then, bring the left piece over the right piece, and take the right piece across to replace the left piece. When you reach the end of one side, then pinch the ends together to seal. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/01-Bread-Braid.jpg\" alt=\"top view image of hands holding bread dough creatively designed like braided hair\" class=\"wp-image-859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/01-Bread-Braid.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/01-Bread-Braid-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/01-Bread-Braid-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>9. <strong>Second Rise.<\/strong> Coil the braid around, tucking both ends to the bottom of the bread, then place it in a spring-form cake pan lined with parchment paper.

You can add some more flour if it is too sticky, or some more water if it is too dry. This will depend on the humidity and environment of where you are.
