Ingredients
Scale
For the Sweet Potato Bread:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 cup mashed)
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and roast them for 40-50 minutes until soft. Allow them to cool, then peel and mash.
- Make the Bread Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, miso paste, melted butter, and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add Seeds:
- Stir in the sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds, reserving a few for sprinkling on top of the loaf.
- Bake:
- Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle the reserved seeds on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, you can lightly toast the seeds before adding them to the batter.
- This bread pairs wonderfully with butter or as a savory side to soups and salads.
