Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups poi
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 0.5 cups warm water
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 large egg

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture is foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the poi, melted butter, and beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.

Step 4

Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. You may need to sprinkle additional flour to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough into the prepared pan.

Step 8

Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30–45 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the rim of the pan.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Bake the bread for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
