Sweet potatoes are just AMAZING! I like to substitute them for ordinary potatoes because they are basically a bomb of sweet goodness and the health benefits of sweet potatoes are far superior! I also substitute them wherever else I can, breads and cakes alike! Due to their deliciously sweet taste you can pair them with ingredients like coconut to give a lovely sweet twist to any bread. WARNING This bread is not for the faint hearted it's a deliciously moist and heavier texture so if you are a "light and fluffy" bread lover try one of my other bread recipes.... Ingredients: 500g cooked, peeled and mashed sweet potato 150ml almond milk 200ml coconut milk 150g wholewheat flour 150g oats 3 teaspoons baking soda 2 tablespoons organic honey a pinch of turmeric salt and pepper to taste 50g dried crushed coconut Place all the ingredients except the almond and coconut milk in a mixing bowl and mash together with a fork until evenly distributed. The sweet potato should be completely mashed without any lumps. Add the almond and coconut milk and continue mashing until you have formed an even dough. Place in a baking tin and cook for 90 minutes on medium heat until a knife comes out dry and the crust is nice and crunchy. Enjoy with my homemade pumpkin nut butter!

When I told my kids we were making purple bread rolls, I could probably have added whatever I chose to the bread mix and they would have loved it. It's such a fun color and great to use in such a variety of dishes with a "purple" theme! It also happens to be my daughters favorite color!
Ingredients (Makes 8 bread rolls) 300g mashed up or finely chopped cooked beetroot 2 garlic cloves finely crushed 50g dried onions 150g wholewheat flour 30g chia seeds 30g ground flaxseed 1/2 teaspoon salt a pinch of pepper 1 teaspoon honey 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil room temperature water for the dough Mix all the ingredients until evenly blended. Slowly add the water kneading well until you reach the desired consistency. The dough should be easy to mould without sticking to your hands too much. Mould into 8 bread rolls and place onto a non stick baking pan. Cook for 30-40 minutes or until a knife comes out dry. I guarantee everyone will have fun with their purple breads! |
