ROASTED SWEET POTATO QUICK BREAD



Roasted Sweet Potato Quick Bread image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 cup roasted sweet potato, skinned and mashed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Zest and juice from 1 large navel orange
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-4-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Beat the butter and the sugar in an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until blended. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the roasted sweet potato.
  • Add the flour, salt, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, orange zest and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix or the bread will become tough.
  • Transfer the batter to the baking dish in an even layer and place in the center of the oven. Bake until a toothpick or small paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Shut off the oven and let the bread sit in the oven 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool at least 30 minutes before unmolding.
  • Unmold the bread onto a serving platter. Bring the honey to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat until it froths and turns amber-brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, then add the orange juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Return to the heat and simmer 30 seconds to combine. Pour carefully over the top of the cooled bread.
