SWEET POTATO BREAD
Asian bread sold in Chinese/Japanese/Korean bakery typically use the same dough, but made into a wide variety of bread using various creative filling, be it sweet or savory. The bread sold come in many different forms, from the plain round bread, braided bread, open sandwich bread (i.e. all the topping on top), knotted bread, to spiral bread like the one in this post. I am sure I need a longer list to include all the different forms. This time, let’s make some spiral bread with sweet potato paste as filling.
I start by making the paste first since we need to cool it down before using. Take one sweet potato (about 300 gram), peel and steam until soft. Mash the sweet potato and mix with sugar, sweet condensed milk, butter, and some cinnamon powder to make sweet potato paste. You can adjust the sweetness to suit your taste since each sweet potato will obviously have different level of sweetness. Sometimes the sweet potato paste can be a bit runny and we don’t want that, in which case you can cook it in a frying pan over low heat and stir every so often until the paste is thicker. Let the paste cool completely before using. You can make this ahead of time and make it in big batches too if you like the paste. Just like red bean paste, you can use this not only as bread filling, but also as daifuku (mochi) filling, manju (Japanese steamed/baked bread) filling, and Chinese steamed buns filling.
INGREDIENTS
- Sweet potato filling
- 1 sweet potato (300 gram)
- 25 gram sugar
- 25 gram butter
- 35 gram sweet condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- Dough
- 150 ml warm milk (38 Celsius or 100 Fahrenheit)
- 5 gram active dry yeast
- 5 gram sugar
- 300 gram all purpose flour
- 10 gram sugar
- 4 gram salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon butter, room temperature

INSTRUCTIONS
- Sweet potato filling
- Peel and cut the sweet potato into wedges. Steam until soft.
- Mash steamed sweet potato with sugar, butter, sweet condensed milk, and cinnamon powder.
- If the paste is runny, cook in a frying pan over low heat until thick and no longer runny.
- Let the paste cool completely before using.
- Dough
- Mix together warm milk, active dry yeast, and 5 gram sugar. Let rest for 20 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, 10 gram sugar, and salt. Make a well, then pour the foamy yeast solution, egg, and butter. Knead into a smooth, soft, elastic, and non-sticky dough. If the dough is too sticky, you may add 1-2 tablespoon of all purpose flour. Kneading time is 20 minutes.
- Place the dough in the bowl, wrap with wet kitchen towel or saran wrap. Let it proof until the volume is doubled, about 1 hour in warm kitchen.
- Bread
- Roll the dough into 10"x15" rectangle. Spread a thin layer of sweet potato paste on the dough, leaving a ½" margin along the edges.
- Roll from bottom to top into a log, pulling the dough slightly while rolling. You should be able to get a 12" log. Cut into 12 pieces.
- Place the cut up dough onto a parchment paper lined baking tray, cut side up, and proof for 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200 Celsius (400 Fahrenheit).
- Brush the top of each bread liberally with egg wash. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Best served warm when out from the oven. The bread should be fresh for up to 3 days.
