Ingredients:

Serving

1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110o to 115o)
1-1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes, room temperature
1 cup warm fat-free milk (110o to 115o)
1/4 cup canola oil
3 tbsp honey
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried thyme
2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour
1 tbsp cold fat-free milk

Directions:

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sweet potatoes, milk, oil, honey, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, thyme and 2 cups whole wheat flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining whole wheat flour to form a firm dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray; turn once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; divide into six equal portions. Shape each into a 20-in. rope. Place three ropes on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; braid. Pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Repeat with remaining ropes. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 35 minutes.
Brush loaves with cold milk. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).
