Well, sweet potato bread, attempt one, wherein I failed the basic rule of experiments; write down what you did. But I’m not sure how you could actually make a foolproof recipe because each potato is going to be different in texture and wetness, so you kinda just have to do it by feel. Anyway, this one was 1 large roasted, peeled and smushed sweet potato, about 3 cups of high protein flour, 2.5 tsp yeast, 1 tsp fine grain salt, 1 tablespoon raw sugar. About 7 oz of warm water, added an ounce or so at a time. 1st rise, an hour, second rise about 45 minutes, bake 425f for 25ish minutes to internal temp of 210f.

Changes I would make, longer second rise, lower temp to 400 and bake a little longer, or sheild the top at 425.
