Sweet Potato Sourdough Bread

 I was talking with a friend and somehow we got to sweet potato bread.  I do love them and thought I wonder if I can make sweet potato sourdough, sure enough.  Found a recipe.  It is the basic bread with cooked/cooled/mashed sweet potatoes.  

Trying to incorporate slippery sweet potatoes mashed into bread dough is near impossible.  Recipe called for 200 grams or 2 cups.  That was wrong, 200g is almost a cup, I barely got 1/2 cup incorporated.  I went ahead and let all the steps work and baked it. It is very pretty and while you can not taste the sweet potato, there is a slight yellow to the bread and it is a bit more tender.

The recipe ended in the recycle bin and I wont try that again.  Next time I will make the bread like pumpkin or banana bread.
