Sweet Potato Condensed Milk Pull-Apart Bread

Sweet potato season means you should definitely eat sweet potatoes. Unlock the delicious way to prepare sweet potatoes: condensed milk sweet potato pull-apart bread 😋 The recipe is from Guangshen, and the taste is absolutely amazing! If you’ve got honey sweet potatoes, just bake them for a taste of happiness sizzling away haha 😄 Baked sweet potato recipe: https://www.xiachufang.com/recipe/104087331/ It's better to use hollow molds for a more beautiful appearance~ I used a 15cm, 6-inch hollow mold, but the dough didn’t fit entirely, so I made three additional cupcake-sized breads. A slightly larger hollow mold should fit the dough; just spread them evenly in a circle without overstuffing. Baking time varies depending on the mold. For the same dough, using a loaf mold requires extending the time to over forty minutes. Round-bottom molds also require more baking time compared to hollow molds.

Bake in the oven at 170°C for 20-25 minutes or until done. Cooling removes the mold, then sprinkle anti-moisture powdered sugar~ Since I made three smaller cupcake-sized buns, the baking time was shorter than putting all the dough in the mold. Adjust baking time as needed~

Cooking Tips

1⃣️The water content in sweet potatoes varies, so the amount of milk provided is for reference only. Add enough to create a soft dough. Avoid making it too dry, as it won’t form a film easily~ 2⃣️First fermentation at around 26°C and second fermentation at around 38°C. Timing depends mainly on the dough’s state~ 3⃣️Baking temperature and time depend on your oven. Cover with foil if the color darkens~ 4⃣️Baking time varies by mold. Loaf and round-bottom molds require longer times compared to hollow molds~
