I seldom get to see purple sweet potato in any supermarket near my place. One fine day I spotted this little gem and immediately grabbed a few packets just in case they run out of stock again! hehehe....Its been quite some time I've made a squarish bread loaf. Therefore decided to make use some of the purple sweet potato for bread making :D Really love this pretty purple loaf! It remains soft, fluffy with slight chewy texture even the next day!

Such a lovely loaf! And I like the colour! Your bread looks really soft! I love eating breads like this with just a spread of salted butter. Thanks for linking!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's so pretty! I love sweet potatoes and sweet potato bread. Your recipe sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous looking bread...can I use regular whole milk instead of soy? if so is it the same amount of replacement?
ReplyDeletePcwidjaja...yes u may replace it with normal milk, depending on e moisture of the sweet potato, u may need more or less of the liquid.
ReplyDeleteHello Peng, can I replace all wholemeal with bread flour? Thanks!
