This quick recipe from Dixie Burnham of Hernando, Florida makes two pleasantly spiced loaves - one to eat and one to share. Sweet potatoes lend nice color and moistness to the easy bread. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1/2 cup applesauce |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes |
2 teaspoons grated orange peel |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine eggs, oil, applesauce and vanilla. Stir in sweet potatoes and orange peel; mix well. Combine the flour, sugars, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking powder; stir into sweet potato mixture just until combined. Stir in nuts.
2. Pour into two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves.
