1 1/2 cups warm water (can use potato cooking water)
4 1/2 tsp dry active yeast (2 pkg)
1 cup mashed sweet potato
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp melted, cooled butter
1 Tbsp salt
2 cups whole wheat flour

Add the sweet potato mixture to the yeast and water.
Blend well.
Add the whole wheat flour and 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour.
Mix well, adding flour as needed.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface.
Knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about five or six
minutes.
Add flour as needed.
Place dough in a greased bowl (glass is best).
Turn the dough over so that the top is greased.
Let rise for 1 hour.
Punch dough down.
Divide the dough in half.
Shape each half into a loaf.
Place the dough in 4×8 inch loaf pans.
Brush a light coating of butter over the tops of the loaves.

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Bake until lightly browned, about half an hour.
