Braided Sweet Potato Bread

1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1/4 cup safflower oil
1 tsp thyme
1 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato
3 Tbsp honey
1 cup soy milk
3 cup wholewheat flour
1 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 1/2 tsp salt
soy milk for brushing loaves

Combine yeast and water and let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in oil
and thyme, followed by potatoes, honey and soy milk. Stir gently
till mixture is smooth. In another bowl, combine flours, cornmeal
and salt. Make a well in the centre and pour in wet mixture. Mix
together, then knead on a floured bowl for 10 minutes. Let rise,
covered till doubled in bulk.  Punch down dough and divide into 6
pieces. Roll each piece into a long coil with hands, about 1-inch
in diameter. To make each loaf, braid 3 coil s and pinch ends
together. Place on a floured baking sheet, cover with damp cloth
and let rise till doubled in bulk.

Brush tops with soy milk and bake in a preheated 350F for 40 to 50
minutes, till tops are golden.
