I loved this bread. I had a little trouble with it baking the whole way trought. I will make it in mini loaves next time, to shorten the baking time and to share with friends.

What is the best way to cook sweet potatoes for this recipe? I always cook them in the microwave. Would they be too dry that way? We don't like yams. Alice W.
