Hmmmm! Last time I got my hair cut, my stylist was telling me about something his mother made. (He's a North Carolinian, born and raised.) She called it Sweet Potato Pudding Bread. He has no written recipe and as a boy didn't pay that much attention to the making of things but he remembers fondly the crispy edges. It was baked in a large shallow rimmed pan, probably like a jelly roll pan. After talking to his sister, he tried to make it - without much success. I did a web search using his name for it and also tried Sweet Potato Strata. No luck. I wonder if this could be made using cooked diced sweet potato and flavoring with vanilla or maybe the Buttery Sweet Dough flavoring. I think that it is certainly worth a try. If you do add diced sweet potatoes, you may need to increase the pan size to a 9" X 13". Give it a try. Frank @ KAF. I don't think this is what he's looking for; it won't develop crisp edges, and it's not bread pudding. How about something like this simple bread pudding recipe, substituting cooked, cubed sweet potato for the dried fruit? PJH
