Ingredients
  

  • 400 grams all purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 2/3 cup warm milk
  • 3 grams yeast
  • 2 eggs
  • 24 g oil

  • 12 g butter
  • 12 g honey

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl combine your flour, salt and sugar. Stir in 1/3 cup of boiling water.
  • In a separate bowl heat your milk for 30 seconds in the microwave. Add your yeast and stir to combine.
  • Add the wet mixture into your dry ingredients. Add two eggs and stir until a dough is formed.
  • Cover the dough with a lid and let it sit for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, add your oil and knead until the oil has been absorbed. Cover with a lid and let the dough rise for one hour.
  • After an hour, punch down your dough to remove the air. Divide the dough into three portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface until it is 6" x 15".
  • Sprinkle your sweet potato cubes onto the dough. Roll the dough and pinch the bottom to seal. Place the dough seam side down into your loaf pan. Repeat for the other 2 dough portions.
  • Cover your loaf pan with cling film and let it rise for another 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, gently press your remaining sweet potato cubes and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Glaze the top of the bread with your honey and butter mixture.
  • Bake in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown.
