Notes

You can prepare the sweet potato in the oven or the Instant Pot:
  • To cook in the oven wrap each potato in aluminium foil and bake for 1-1 ½ hours (depending on the size of the potato). Leave to cool then unwrap from the foil, peel away the skins and mash the flesh with a fork.
  • To cook in the Instant Pot, pour in 250ml of water into the Instant Pot insert. Set over a trivet and place the whole sweet potatoes in a single layer. Pressure cook for 15 minutes and then quick release after 5 minutes. Peel the sweet potatoes away from their skins and mash with a fork.
Happiness Bread is very moist and as such keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days. (or 3 days out of the fridge)
It can be frozen for up to 2 months. It’s a good idea to freeze in slices so you can remove them from the freezer the night before you want to eat some.
The eggs used in this recipe are medium size, 60g with shell and 50g without shell. If you can't get hold of medium eggs I suggest you weigh the amount.
