DIRECTIONS: Peel dice and cook a 1/2 a cup of sweet potato for about 15 minutes. Then mashed potatoes and allow them cool down for about 10 minutes. Warm up 12 ounces of milk with a pinch of sugar to about 110°F (43°C) stir in the dry yeast. And allow the yeast to rehydrate for about 10 minutes. Mix about 2 tablespoons of the milk yeast mixture and the 1/4 cup of butter into the mashed potatoes. Mix with a fork or a whisk until it's a smooth paste. Add in the rest of the milk/yeast mixture. Combine all the ingredients with 4 cups of flour. After you combine the flour with all the ingredients allow her to rest for 5 to 30 minutes. Next need the dough for about five minutes. Allow the dough to bulk proof in a warm place - until double in size. If the temperature is between 65 F and 75 F it may take about four hours. If the temperature is between 75- 85°F it should take between 2 to 3 hours. After the bolt proofing, divide the dough into equal portions. Shape the bread into a large bowl shape. Cover and allow to proof for an additional 1 to 3 hours. Place the dough on a cookie sheet. Bake at 400 F (205 c) for 35-40 minutes. (or until the internal temperature is between 190 and 200°F) {88°C} Allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes then brush with melted butter. ==== Just Cook With Michael Website: https://justcookwithmichael.com/ KITCHEN ITEMS: RELATED RECIPES: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/justcookwithmichael FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/justcookwithmichael PINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/justcookwithmichael/ PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT: Canon EOS 6D: https://amzn.to/2WL9tQ9 Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens- Fixed: https://amzn.to/3hnxwMP Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-6 is II USM Lens: https://amzn.to/3fSesWv Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens: https://amzn.to/2ZUXktX Andoer Colorful Metal Electronic TTL Auto Focus Focus AF Macro Extension Tube Ring for Canon EOS EF EF-S 60D 7D 5D II 550D Red: https://amzn.to/2ZPvQpc ________________________________________________________________________ JustCookWithMichael is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
