Well, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ different to bake up in the kitchen, let me tell ya, this here Seeded Miso Sweet Potato Bread is somethin’ you won’t forget. It’s got that rich, earthy flavor from the miso, and the sweetness of those good ol’ sweet potatoes mixed in makes it just perfect. Now, it’s not your regular ol’ bread, no ma’am. This one’s got a little extra kick to it—just the way we like it!
First off, you’ll need to get yourself some sweet potatoes. Not too many, though—just enough to give the bread a nice, soft texture. You want them nice and tender, so bake ‘em up or boil ‘em ‘til they’re real soft. Once they’re ready, mash ‘em up good. Don’t be shy with the mashin’—the more mashed, the smoother your bread will be. Just set ‘em aside while we work on the rest.
Now, for the miso part. If you ain’t familiar with miso, it’s a fermented paste made from soybeans. It’s got a savory, almost salty taste that’ll balance out the sweetness of those potatoes. You don’t need a whole lot, just a couple tablespoons. I like to go with the white miso ‘cause it’s a little milder, but you can use whatever kind you got. Stir it in real good with a bit of water until it’s smooth and ready to mix.
Then, you’ll want to gather your other ingredients. You’ll need some flour, sugar, and a bit of yeast to get that bread to rise nice and fluffy. Oh, and don’t forget the seeds! You can use sunflower, pumpkin, or sesame seeds—whatever you got around the house. Those seeds will give the bread a nice crunch and add a bit of flavor that’ll have folks askin’ what that special ingredient is. Mix up the flour, sugar, and yeast together in a big ol’ bowl, then add your sweet potatoes and miso paste into the mix. Stir it all up until it forms a dough.
Once you’ve got yourself a nice dough, it’s time to knead. Now, don’t rush through this part! Knead that dough for about 10 minutes, or until it’s smooth and elastic. You’ll feel it change texture as you work with it, so don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty. It’s worth it, I promise. After that, let it rest for a good hour, so the dough can rise and get all puffed up.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to get rid of any air bubbles. Then, shape it into a loaf or roll it into little buns, whatever you prefer. Place it in a greased baking pan, and sprinkle those seeds on top. You can even press ‘em in a little bit so they stick. Let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, and you’re almost there.
Now, pop that pan in the oven at about 375°F (190°C) and bake it for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it’s golden brown on top and sounds hollow when you tap it. If you’ve made buns, they’ll cook a little quicker, so keep an eye on ‘em.
When it’s done, let it cool a bit before slicin’ into it. You’ll see that the bread is soft on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness from the potatoes and that savory miso flavor peeking through. The seeds on top add a nice touch and a bit of texture, so you get a little crunch with every bite. You can eat it just as it is, or toast it up with a little butter for an extra treat.
This Seeded Miso Sweet Potato Bread ain’t just tasty, it’s hearty too. It’s full of the good stuff, so it’ll fill you up without weighin’ you down.

It’s one of those breads that tastes like you put a lot of work into it, but it’s actually pretty easy to make.
