I just made this up last night. I had had some dehydrated sweet potato skins I was carting around the counrty and FINALLY decided I had time to grind them all in my coffee grinder. I think all the labor made the bread taste better. I'm sure you can purchase sweet potato flour somewhere, but if not...Dry 'em out, grind 'em up! Enjoy. PS this is also really healthy. Loaded with vitamin A! Ingredients:
3 teaspoons yeast |
