Braided Sweet Potato Bread

Directions

Combine yeast & water & let stand for 10 minutes.

Stir in oil & thyme, followed by potatoes, honey & soymilk.

Stir gently until mixture is smooth.

In another bowl, combine flours, cornmeal & salt.

Make a well in the centre & pour in wet mixture.

Mix together, then knead in a floured bowl for 10 minutes. Let rise, covered until doubled in bulk.

Punch down dough & divide into 6 pieces.

Roll each piece into a long coil with hands, about 1-inch in diameter.

To make each loaf, braid 3 coils & pinch ends together.

Place on a floured baking sheet, cover with damp cloth & let rise until doubled in bulk.

Brush tops with soymilk & bake in a preheated 350℉ (180℃) for 40 to 50 minutes, until tops are golden.
