PreparationPreheat the oven to 180 ºC.
Using a fork, poke some holes into the sweet potatoes and then microwave them until they are soft. Slice into rounds and set aside to cool. Once cooled peel off the skin and roughly tear the potato into small chunks.
Mix the dry ingredients together and then add the sweet potato chunks and mix to combine. Pour in the beer and mix until you have a semi-smooth batter. Tip the mixture into a greased baking tray. Pour the melted butter over the batter and then pop it into the oven.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the top begins to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and crack some extra sea salt over the top of the bread.
Serve with plenty of butter and wash it down with a pumpkin ale.
