Actually I think the liquid ratio in you...Hi Diana,<br />Actually I think the liquid ratio in your sweet potato might be slightly more and thus causing the bread dough to be on the wetter side. What I usually do is let the sweet potato dry out a little after it has been steamed. Sometimes you need to be versatile and adjust the dry & wet amount to get the right consistency. I can only provide the guideline, you need to judge on your own most of the time.Honey Bee Sweetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611185580466977913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452934552254010109.post-23838924892838400832014-04-18T08:34:37.349+08:002014-04-18T08:34:37.349+08:00Hi Bee, I tried your recipe twice recently as it r...Hi Bee, I tried your recipe twice recently as it really look soft and delicious but have failed on both attempts. I used my breadmaker to knead for about 45 minutes but the dough seems to be very very wet and sticky. After it is baked, it is still wet inside (like steamed cake texture) and collapses. It doesn't look like what you showed in the photos at all. Could you please advice?Diana Ooinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452934552254010109.post-65634756054896771472012-03-27T20:41:54.781+08:002012-03-27T20:41:54.781+08:00thank you beebee (: did you refer to any book for ...thank you beebee (: did you refer to any book for this 17hrs preferment dough? the dough looks so good!! i have the book "natural bread made easy" and is all loaf bread too.<br />im fine! busy w school and exams but i stil bake and i still reads your blog too! take care!
