This is the easiest bread in the world!  Just two ingredients sweet potato and flour for the basic recipe.  You can use plain or wholemeal flour the choice is yours; furthermore, you have the option to add salt and or nutritional yeast for extra flavour and nutrition.  Although the official ratio of potato to flour is one to one, I usually find I need a little more flour.

Heat for about 30 - 45 seconds on each side

Ingredients 

4 - 6 Flatbreads
  • Sweet potato  x 1 cup
  • Wholemeal or plan flour x 1.5 cups
  • Salt (optional) x 1/4 tsp
  • Nutritional yeast with B12 (optional) x 1 tsp
  • Oil for frying pan (optional)

Apparatus

  • Frying pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling pin
  • Wooden spoon
  • Chopping board
  • Knife 
  • A brush to brush the oil on in the frying pan if you are using oil

Method

  1. Many recipes will tell you to peal the potatoes, but i find it is best to boil and mash them with the skins still on. 

  2. Add the salt and nutritional yeast if you are using it. 

  3. Add the flour and mix with a spoon until you get a lump. 

  4. Continue mixing with your hands. 

  5. Cut into six pieces and gently roll each one out with a rolling pin.   The dough is a little sticky, so use some flour to stop it sticking to the pin and broad if needed. 

  6. Heat in a frying pan for 30 - 45 seconds each side. 

  7. Once cooked, wrap the flatbread immediately in a clean fresh tea towel or the bread might go too hard. Keep adding more flatbread and cover with the tea towel and leave to cool. 

  8. Either eat them while still warm or let them cool down even more and put in an air tight container for storing in the fridge.  These should keep for 3 - 4 days.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of December 2023   This is something I have heard of, but never tried before.  Usually, we have traditional Christmas cake in my house, but last year I wanted to try something different and this was it.  Rest assured, I will be having it again this year too! At first, it seems like a lot of effort, but you will soon see that it is straight forward to make and definitely worth it.  However, it will need proofing and the dried fruit will need soaking, which will all take time, so plan ahead.  Notes I used French Brandy Marzipan and so used brandy to flavour the raisins and cranberries. I used almond milk. A good tip is to dust the soaked fruit with a little flour before adding the dough. You have 3 options with the marzipan:  Roll it out  Chop it up Have a thick bar of it running through the centre I soaked the dried fruit in brandy, but you can make it without the alcohol is you wish or use rum instead. I used a silicon baking sheet to save on the

Rum And Raisin Loaf

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 27th of November 2023   Whatever the occasions, this is a great treat to be had.  The rum soaks into the raisins and results in a perfect infusion of flavours. The rum adds flavour to the raisins while the raisins add sweetness to the run.  This beautiful bread as a great bready texture, yet is fruity and warming to the soul. Although it doesn't need it, you can choose to dust it with icing sugar.
