Ingredients
- 2 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
- 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato
- 1/3 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the 2 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast, 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato, 1/3 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup butter, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoons salt. Mix it until it is well combined.
- Add the 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1/2 cup at a time until a nice, soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 2 minutes or so until is smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise about 1 hour.
- Divide the risen dough into thirds. Roll out each third into a long snake or rope (about 18 inches long). Lay the 3 ropes next to each other on a lightly greased baking sheet. One one end of the rope, pinch the 3 strands together and begin to braid. When you've braided the whole thing, pinch the remaining ends together.
- Cover and let rise another 30 minutes or so. Brush the braided dough with an egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon water).
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
