Sourdough Purple Sweet Potato Sandwich Loaf

on

Easy Homemade Sourdough Bread, soft, fluffy and delicious Sandwich Bread. This time I used water instead of milk and added some purple sweet potato powder to make some purple colour into bread.  😍

According to current nutritional thinking, white bread is digested too fast, spikes blood sugar levels and is linked to obesity. In short, it's the enemy of healthy eaters.😧

The purple bread is rich in cancer-fighting antioxidants, digested 20% slower than regular white bread, and its play a role in controlling obesity and diabetes, as they can inhibit digestive enzymes and reduce glucose levels.😘

Anthocyanin is a natural pigment that occurs in fruits and vegetables such as grapes, blueberries, and sweet potatoes, and is responsible for their vibrant hue.

What's more the purple colour enhances the bread's look too! When looking at the color... to drool over...😋
