Alright, let’s talk about this purple sweet potato bread. I ain’t no fancy baker, mind you, just a plain ol’ woman who likes to eat good food. And this bread, well, it’s somethin’ special.
First off, why’s it so purple? Heard tell it’s got these things called anthocyanins in it. Sounds like somethin’ the doctor would say, but all I know is they’re good for ya, like keepin’ your heart pumpin’ and fightin’ off them nasty sicknesses. Keeps you from getting sick and that’s a good thing.
Now, this ain’t your regular ol’ white bread. This bread’s got that purple sweet potato in it, and that gives it a real nice color, kinda like a sunset, and a taste that’s a little bit sweet, a little bit nutty, just right I tell ya. I don’t know what’s all this “gummy” and “crumb” talk, I just know it’s soft and moist, not dry like some breads. My old man would have liked this, I reckon.
- It takes a bit longer to bake, but that’s okay. Good things take time, ain’t that the truth?
- And it don’t go stale fast neither. You can keep it for a few days and it’ll still be good eatin’. That’s really important you know. We old people, we don’t like wasting food.
These purple sweet potatoes, they ain’t all the same. Some are sweeter than others, some are drier. But most of ’em, they got this kinda wine-like taste, if you can believe it. They’re starchier too, not like them orange sweet potatoes you see around Thanksgiving. I always like to buy the ones that look good and are firm. The soft ones are no good. Them, you just have to throw away.
You can bake this bread in them long pans, the ones they call loaf pans. I saw a picture and they look like bricks. That’s how they make them sandwich breads you buy at the store. I made a sandwich with this purple bread the other day. Lord, it was good! I put some ham and cheese in it. Simple, but tasty. You don’t need no fancy fixin’s when you got good bread.
This purple sweet potato bread, it’s the best of both worlds, I say. You got that sweet potato flavor and that soft bread texture all mixed together. Every bite is like a little piece of heaven. You can really smell the sweet potatoes too. It’s not strong but it’s really nice. I bet kids will love this too. My grandkids love it so much that I have to make it every week. They’re always asking for more.
And you know what else? You can make a pie outta these purple sweet potatoes too. I ain’t never tried it, but I bet it’s good. Anything with sweet potato is good in my book. Maybe next time I’ll try to make that purple sweet potato pie. I also think that adding some nuts and raisins to the bread makes it even better. It gives it a bit more texture and sweetness.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a new bread to try, give this purple sweet potato bread a go. It ain’t hard to make, and it’s mighty tasty. You don’t need no fancy equipment or nothin’, just some good ingredients and a little bit of patience. And trust me, it’s worth it. This here bread, is good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can eat it plain, or with butter, or jam, or whatever you like. It’s a good all-rounder, I say.
I’m not sure if they have a special name for this recipe, but I always just call it “that purple bread” or sweet potato bread. That’s easy to remember ain’t it?
