1. In order to highlight the aroma of purple sweet potato, I did not add milk to this bread, such asIf you want a more mellow taste, you can replace the water with the same amount of milk.
2. The bread takes at least 3 hours to make and needs to be fermented twice. The first time I put it in a bread barrel to rise, and the second time I put a bowl of boiling water in the oven and then closed the oven door.
3. When baking, because everyone's oven temperature is different, you should check it more during the last few minutes and don't bake it too much.
4. The bread should be cooled before eating, because the yeast inside the bread is still working when it is hot.
