Lemon Purple Sweet Potato Bread
1.
Prepare ingredients.
2.
Wash the surface of a lemon with salt, then cut into thin slices. Pay attention to the thickness of the lemon slices, too thin and easy to boil, but too thick to cook thoroughly. I cut about 3ml. Add the cut lemon slices to the right amount of sugar and boil for about five minutes, turn off the heat and let cool for later use. The lemon slices must be boiled in sugar in advance so that they won’t be too dry. And adding sugar and cooking will greatly reduce the acidity of the lemon. Don't throw away the syrup for boiling the lemon, you can drink it with water.
3.
The other materials in the dough except butter, purple sweet potato and lemon are mixed well and mixed until the expansion stage. Then add softened butter and knead to the complete stage. At this time, the dough can be gently pulled to form a glove film. Ferment at room temperature to about 2 times the size. Dip your fingers with flour and poke a hole. The hole does not retract to prove that the fermentation has been completed.
4.
Divide the dough evenly into five small portions, round and relax for 10 minutes
5.
Press the dough lightly to flatten it, and add 40 grams of the filling. The fillings can be formed into shapes in advance, which is easier to pack.
6.
It must be noted that after wrapping, the closing should be placed facing down. If you are using a non-stick bakeware, you can place it directly. If it is a normal bakeware, please spread grease paper or linoleum. Then gently press down the bread body into a round cake. Flatten the dough as much as possible so that it will look better when baked
7.
Ferment to two large portions, brush the egg mixture, and paste the cooked lemon slices on top.
8.
Pre-set the oven to 180 degrees in advance, bake for 15-18 minutes, and bake until the bread is slightly yellowish in color, and then you can cover it with tin foil. Pay attention to observation after coloring, and cover with tin foil in time, so that the finished product will be beautiful. The oven I use is North American Electric’s ACA electric oven, which is set directly according to the temperature of the oven. You can adjust the baking time and baking temperature according to your own oven.

Enjoy it!
