Here is how you make Sweet Potato Challah:

Wash and peel sweet potato; cut into quarters. Boil until soft but not mushy. Drain and allow to cool slightly.I use a dough hook when making bread, but this recipe can be adapted for manual kneading or bread machine use.Proof yeast in warm water along with 1 teaspoon sugar.Measure 4-1/2 cups flour into a large bowl. Grate sweet potato into flour -- use FINE side of grater -- and mix thoroughly.Add flour, whole egg and 2 egg yolks, 1/2 cup oil, 1/3 cup honey, and 1 teaspoon salt to yeast mixture. Mix with dough hook until well-blended and dough no longer sticks to sides of bowl. Add more flour as needed.Original recipe called for an additional 1/2 cup sugar to be added; it tastes just fine without the extra sugar.Turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly.If desired, add chocolate chips or raisins to the dough while kneading. The more the merrier.Place dough into greased bowl and allow to rise until about doubled in size.Punch down dough and form into 2 braided loaves.Allow to rise a second time. Brush with egg wash.Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown.Serving Size: makes 2 12-serving loavesNumber of Servings: 24Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CHATULIM.
