230g bread flour
30g caster sugar
1/4 tsp sea salt
4g (1 tsp) dried instant yeast 
100g mashed sweet potato
25g egg (lightly beaten)
140g fresh milk
20g coconut oil

• Combine flour, sugar and salt together until well blended. Add in dried yeast and mix well. Add in mashed sweet potato, eggs and milk.    Knead until it forms a slightly sticky dough.   
• Then add in coconut oil.  Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.  
• Shape dough into a ball and placed in a bowl covered with cling wrap.  Leave it in a warm place to rise until doubled.
• Punch down to expel trapped air.  Divide into 4 equal portions.
• Rest for 10 mins.  
• Flatten the dough and then roll up like Swiss Rolls. 
• Place the rolls on a lined loaf pan.  Cover with cling wrap and leave to proof until doubled.
• Using a sharp knife, make a slash on the bread and place strips of butter into the incision.  Then sprinkle some raw sugar over.
• Bake in a  preheated oven at 180°C for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
