Soft, nutritious and beautiful loaf, can smell wafts of butter and milk aroma as it baked.
You can replace the pumpkin with potatoes, all colours of sweet potatoes, and this recipe will work too.

Need to experiment, e.g. need to reduce water content also, otherwise might be a very wet dough.

Hi,
Can I replace milk with soy milk or water?
LikeLike
Soy milk is ok, for water you need to reduce by 10 to 20 percent, or it will be too sticky to handle.
