Step-by-Step Guide to Making Purple Sweet Potato Toast

Mash the steamed purple sweet potatoes into a puree, the finer the better

Put all main ingredients into the bread maker

Stir with chopsticks first to check the consistency. Due to varying water content in sweet potatoes, there may be differences

Then start the kneading program

Add butter after 10 minutes. I softened the butter on a radiator, which resulted in better absorption. I tore the dough apart before adding the butter for better absorption

When the kneading program ends and the dough expands, forming a thin membrane

Cover with plastic wrap and let it ferment until it doubles or triples in size

Divide the dough into 3 portions, cover with a cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes

Roll the dough into long strips

Braid the strips

Place in a toast mold

Keep warm and moist until it’s 80% full

Cover and preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes, then bake on the lower rack for 35 minutes

When the toast is done, shake it on the stove so it doesn’t collapse in the middle

Remove from the mold and let it cool before slicing

If gifting, wrap the toast in a toast bag for a nice presentation, a homemade touch!
