When it comes to incorporating sweet potatoes into sourdough bread, you may be wondering which variety to use. One popular choice is the Stokes sweet potato, which has a vibrant pink color and a slightly sweeter taste than other sweet potato varieties. When used in sourdough bread, Stokes sweet potatoes can give the loaf a beautiful pink hue. On the other hand, Ube sweet potatoes, which are commonly used in Filipino cuisine, produce a darker purple color in sourdough bread. Both varieties can add a unique flavor and stunning color to your bread, so why not experiment and try both?
