  2. 2. Slice open and leave to cool for 5 minutes, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash until smooth.
  3. 3. Mix 100g flour and the salt together, then create a small mound and make a well in the centre. Place the sweet potato mash in the centre and gently bring together. Add more flour as needed, being careful to not overwork the dough.
