SWEET POTATO - PRUNE BREAD 
1 c. pitted prunes, coarsely chopped
3 3/4 c. plus 1 tbsp. bread flour, divided
1 c. whole wheat flour
2 pkgs. dry yeast
3/4 tsp. salt
1 c. sweet potatoes, cooked & mashed
1 c. skim milk, very warm (120 to 130 degrees)
1/4 c. plus 1 tbsp. honey, divided
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 tsp. unsweetened orange juice

Toss prunes with 1 tablespoon flour; set aside. Combine 1 1/2 cups bread flour, wheat flour, yeast and salt in large bowl; stir well. Add sweet potatoes, milk, 1/4 cup honey and oil. Beat with mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes or until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 cups bread flour to form soft dough.

Turn dough out on floured board. Knead until smooth and elastic (10 minutes). Add prune mixture and enough of remaining 3/4 cup bread flour, 2 tablespoons at a time. Place dough in large bowl coated with vegetable oil spray. Turn to coat top. Cover and let rise 50 minutes until doubled. Punch down.

Divide dough into 3 equal portions. Roll each portion into 15 inch rope. Braid the ropes, pinching ends to seal. Place on baking sheet coated with vegetable spray. Cover and let rise 30 minutes until double in bulk.

Bake at 305 degrees for 40 minutes until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan and place on wire rack. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon honey and orange juice and brush on loaf. Cool. Delicious! No mistake - no eggs and only 1 tablespoon oil!
