I love the taste and color of sweet potatoes and yams. They are packed with vitamins and minerals and are delicious to boot! This bread is sweet enough for dessert and savory enough for dinner.

Kim’s Tip

Make your own sweet potato puree. Grab two sweet potatoes and keep them unpeeled. If you’re steaming, cut them into quarters and steam for 40 to 45 minutes. If you are roasting, leave them whole and roast at 400ºF for 50 to 60 minutes. Scoop out the sweet flesh and puree in a blender or food processor.
