Sweet Potato Almond Bread

The sweet potato gives this bread a deep, rich color and moist texture. Almonds and dark raisins add a nutty flavor to this simple bread. Allow extra time to prepare the mashed potatoes.

Ingrdients:
3/4 cup water
1 cup mashed potatoes
1 ½ tsp salt
2 tbs sugar
3 cups bread flour
4 tbs rolled oats
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbs unsalted butter, cut up
2 1/4 tsp active yeast
Fruits and nuts:
3 tbs raisins
1/3 cup chopped almonds

Directions:
Add the ingredients in the order listed above the Fruits and nuts. Select the dough setting and press start. Add the fruits and nuts just 5 minutes before the kneading cycle is finished. At the end of the program, remove dough and place on a lightly floured surface.
Butter two 8” x 4” x 2” loaf pans. Shape dough to the same size of the loaf pan. Spread some oil on top and cover with a sheet of plastic wrap. Let rise for another 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350° and bake bread for 30 minutes.
