    texture of sweet potato flatbread

    The sweet potato flatbread recipe uses fresh sweet potato which is boiled, peeled and mashed which is then mixed with flour to make the dough for making flatbread.

    It is so simple, easy and quick! You can just mix the cooked mashed sweet potatoes with the flour to make the dough, which is then divided into almost equal sized balls, which is then rolled and cooked to make delicious and colorful flatbread.

    I used all purpose flour to make this sweet potato flatbread, but you may use wheat flour or try other flours.
