-------- ------------ --------------------------------
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
411 grams bread flour -- plus more for dusting, (3C)
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.

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

completely smooth. Stir in the chives, garlic and pepper.
