  • 1 cup (240 g) sweet potato puree
  • 2 cups (250 g) self-rising flour, see note regarding amount needed
  • 5 oz milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 4 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Whisk together until batter is smooth and no flour lumps remain. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until bread is done. When bread is done, toothpick inserted should come out clean, when you press on the loaf it should also bounce back. Let bread cool before cutting and slicing.

Notes

  • This recipe was originally tested with White Lily self-rising flour which has a lower protein amount than some other brands of self-rising flour. The amount of protein affects the amount of liquids needed. If you are using a self-rising flour that has 2 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, then you can make the recipe as written.
  • If you are using a self-rising flour brand that has 3 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, then remove 4 tbsp of flour from the amount stated in the recipe and replace with 4 tbsp of cornstarch.
  • To properly measure flour, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level off with a knife. Do not directly dip the measuring cup into the flour because this results in too much flour. Use this method of measuring whether you are measuring self-rising flour or measuring all purpose flour to make your own self-rising flour.
  • Homemade self-rising flour:
    • If you are using all purpose flour with 2 grams of protein per 1/4 cup: Whisk together 2 cups all purpose flour + 3 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt.
    • If you are using all purpose flour with 3 grams of protein per 1/4 cup: Whisk together 1 cup + 12 tbsp all purpose flour + 4 tbsp cornstarch + 3 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt.
  • Bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the fridge or freezer for longer.
