Sweet potato, worked into a small flatbread.

A leftover piece of plain cooked sweet potato can go in a different direction from another bowl. This idea turns it into thin pan-cooked bread.

A dough to test

Mash 100 g cooked, cooled sweet potato. Work in 80 g plain wheat flour, adding a little more only if needed to make a soft dough you can handle. Divide into four pieces.

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll each piece thinly. Brush a pan with a little oil and cook over medium heat, turning as needed, until both surfaces are lightly browned and the bread is cooked through. The centre should not remain raw or sticky; use a reliable panbread method if you are new to this.

Check before making more

Sweet potato moisture varies. The first trial needs to check the flour ratio, thickness and cooking time, so this is not a validated baking formula.

Contains wheat. Do not taste the raw dough: flour can carry harmful germs. [1] Serve the cooked breads with something savoury, such as tofu and vegetables.

Development draft: not kitchen-tested. Quantities, texture and yield need checking.
