Ingredients:

Serving

1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1/4 cup safflower oil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 1/2 cups cooked well-mashed sweet potatoes
3 tbsp honey (or substitute, e.g. maple syrup)
1 cup soymilk
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 1/2 tsp salt
soymilk , to brush tops of loaves

Directions:

Combine the yeast and the water in a medium mixing bowl and let stand for 10 minutes, or until dissolved.
Stir in the oil and thyme, then the mashed sweet potato, honey, and soymilk.
Stir gently until the mixture is smooth.
In another bowl, combine the flours, cornmeal, and salt.
Make a well in the center and pour in the wet mixture.
Work together, using a spoon at first, then hands, until thoroughly combined into a dough.
Turn out onto a floured board and knead for 8-10 minutes, adding additional flour until the dough loses its stickiness.
Place in a clean bowl and cover with a tea towel.
Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.
Punch the dough down and turn back out onto the board.
Divide into six equal pieces.
With hands, roll each piece into a long coil, about 1 in diameter.
To make each loaf, braid three coils and pinch the ends together.
Place the loaves on a floured baking sheet, cover with the tea towel, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Brush the tops of the loaves with soymilk.
Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the loaves feel hollow when tapped.
