Sweet Potato Bread

Who can resist this soft pillowy buns that are buttery and cheesy? I am sure a lot of people would ditch their diet just to take one or two of these buns. It is a sweet bread that is topped with butter, sugar and grated cheese. Yes it is sinful but it is worth it. Another name for this bun is called ensaymada.

Ingredients

  • 94g mashed sweet potato
  • 276g bread flour
  • 25g cake flour
  • 4g salt
  • 131g milk
  • 1 egg + 1 yolk
  • 50g softened salted butter
  • 76g sugar
  • 6g yeast

Method

  • Preheat your oven at 180 degree celsius
  • Mix all the ingredients except the salt and butter using a mixer at low speed
  • When the ingredients are coming altogether, add in the butter and salt. Maintain at slow speed. knead for 4-5 minutes. This dough would be a bit sticky, but avoid adding more flour.
  • Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl , cover and let it rise for about an hour or until the size becomes double, by now the dough would be less sticky
  • Punch down the dough and scale for 55g and shape it into a ball, placed it into a waxed liner.

  • Brush the top with egg (beaten 1 whole egg)
