Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1-3/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (without added milk and butter)
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter, softened, divided
1/2 cup honey
1 egg
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups whole wheat flour
3-1/4 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
CREAM CHEESE NUT SPREAD:
1 cup butter, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup butter, honey, egg, salt and whole wheat flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 25 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown (cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly). Remove from pans to wire racks. Melt remaining butter; brush over warm bread. Cool.
In a small bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Stir in walnuts. Serve with bread.
