Japanese Sweet Potato Bread using Zojirushi

I simply love chucking out bread from my new Zojirushi as it is SO easy. I can pop everything in the bread maker and walk off and 2-3hrs later you will have a loaf of freshly baked bread on your table. Bread goes will with Butter & Jam or Ham & Cheese. However, due to my Zoji capacity is smaller, I will need to adjust the ingredients in order to fit this 450g bread loaf tin. Hope that recipe that I shared can benefit for Zojirushi owner. 

Adding sweet potatoes give a soft texture to the loaf. Tingle sweet taste too!

Steps for non bread maker user:

• You can use a mixer / hand to knead your dough.

• Start kneading everything for 5mins and add in butter. Continue to knead for 10-15mins or till the dough reach the "window pane" stage.
• Cover the dough using a cling wrap or a cloth and let it proof for 60mins or till it doubled its size.
• After 1st proofing, remove the dough and place it on a lightly flour surface. Knead the dough and roll out into a large rectangle and roll it up to fit your bread pan. You can shape it in buns too. However, baking time will be shorter like 15-20mins or until it’s top is golden brown.
• Cover the bread dough in ur bread pan using a cling wrap and let it proof for another 60mins or till it doubled it size.
