Purple sweet potato flower bread, a visually stunning and delicious treat, combines the earthy sweetness of purple sweet potatoes with the soft, fluffy texture of bread. Here’s a simple guide to create this Instagram-worthy delight.
Ingredients: For the dough: 300g bread flour, 30g sugar, 3g yeast, 1 egg, 120ml warm milk, 30g butter. For the filling: 200g steamed and mashed purple sweet potato, 2 tbsp milk, 1 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste).
Steps:
1. Prepare the dough: Dissolve yeast in warm milk, let sit for 5 minutes. Mix flour, sugar, and egg, then add yeast mixture. Knead into a smooth dough, add softened butter, and continue kneading until elastic. Let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled.
2. Make the filling: Mash steamed purple sweet potato, mix with milk and sugar until smooth. Let cool.
3. Shape the bread: Punch down the risen dough, divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a circle, place 1 tbsp filling in the center, and wrap tightly.
4. Create the flower shape: Flatten the filled dough into a disc, cut 8 slits around the edge, leaving the center intact. Twist each slit outward to form petals. Place on a baking tray, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
5. Bake: Brush with egg wash, bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–18 minutes until golden. Cool slightly before serving.
