   12            ounces  sweet potatoes -- orange-flesh, peeled and 
cut into 1" chunks
   3        tablespoons  salted butter -- cut into 3 pieces
   1         tablespoon  honey
   1 1/2      teaspoons  kosher salt

   2          teaspoons  instant yeast

The Portuguese sweet potato bread known as bolo de caco is a griddled 
bread that resembles an English muffin or thick pita bread round. For 
our version, we use widely available orange-fleshed sweet potatoes 
rather than the white variety that's more traditional; the potatoes 
give the bread a saffron hue and a rich, moist crumb. The traditional 
way to cook bolos de caco is on a stone slab; we use a skillet set on 
the stovetop to brown the rounds, then finish baking them in the 
oven. The flatbreads typically are split while still warm, spread 
with garlic-chive butter (recipe below) and served as part of a meal, 
but you also could toast the halves and have them for breakfast or 
use them to make a sandwich.

Makes: eight 5" rolls
Active: 45 min
Total: 3 HOURS

Tip: Don't begin mixing the cooked sweet potato mixture until it has 
cooled for 30 minutes. Otherwise, the heat from the potatoes may kill 
the yeast. Don't worry if you don't own an instant thermometer for 
testing the breads. Simply bake them for the full 14 minutes. The 
sweet potato in the dough makes this a forgiving dough, so even if 
slightly overbaked, the crumb still will be moist and tender.

In a medium saucepan over medium-high, combine the potatoes, butter, 
honey, salt and 2/3 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring to melt the 
butter, then reduce to low, cover and cook until a skewer inserted 
into the potatoes meets no resistance, 15 to 20 minutes.

Transfer the potatoes and any liquid to the bowl of a stand mixer. 
Cool until just warm to the touch, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mist 
a medium bowl with cooking spray.

Using the paddle attachment, beat the mixture on low until smooth, 
about 1 minute. Switch to the dough hook and add the flour and yeast. 
Mix on low until a smooth dough forms, about 5 minutes. Increase to 
medium-high and knead for 1 minute to strengthen the dough.

Transfer to the prepared bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise 
in a warm, draft-free spot until the dough is doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Heat the oven to 350F with a rack in the middle position. Line a 
rimmed baking sheet with kitchen parchment. Turn the dough out onto a 
lightly floured counter, then divide into 8 pieces.

Form each piece into a taut ball by rolling it against an unfloured 
area of the counter in a circular motion under a cupped hand; place 
seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using your hand, press 
and flatten each ball until it measures about 4" wide and 1/4" thick. 
Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Heat a 12" skillet over medium until a drop of water sizzles 
immediately, about 2 minutes. Place 4 dough rounds seam-side up in 
the pan and cook until deep golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

Using a wide metal spatula, flip and cook the second sides until 
golden brown, about 1 minute. Return to the baking sheet, then repeat 
with the remaining rounds, returning them to the baking sheet.

Bake the flatbreads in the oven until the centers reach 200F, 12 to 
14 minutes. Immediately transfer directly to a wire rack and cool for 
at least 15 minutes.

GARLIC-CHIVE BUTTER
This quick and easy compound butter is flavorful and versatile. Use 
to top steak, fish, bread or our Portuguese sweet potato rolls for 
added richness and flavor.
Don't use cold butter. Room temperature butter is best for completely 
incorporating the chives and garlic.
Makes: 1/2 C About: 5 min

8 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature, (1 stick)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

In a medium bowl, mix the butter with a rubber spatula until 
completely smooth. Stir in the chives, garlic and pepper.
