400 g Sweet potato (cooked and mashed)
600 g Plain flour
10 g Dry yeast
200 ml Warm water
2 tsp Sea salt
1 tsp Fennel seeds (optional)

Method

Dissolve yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let activate 10 minutes. Mash cooked sweet potato until smooth.
In large bowl mix flour, salt, fennel (if using), mashed sweet potato and yeast mixture. Knead 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic (dough will be soft and slightly sticky). Cover and let rise in warm place 1-2 hours until doubled.
Divide dough into 4-6 portions, shape into thick flat rounds. Place on hot griddle or skillet (no oil) over medium heat. Cook 10-15 minutes per side until dark golden and cooked through. Serve warm split and slathered with garlic butter.
