   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a mixing bowl and
   baking sheet. In a mixing bowl, whisk the yeast and water together,
   until the yeast dissolves. Add in the sugar, salt, pepper, and
   butter. Mix well and let rest for 15 minutes. Stir in the eggs and
   sweet potatoes. Mix the flour and raisins together. Fold in the
   flour, 1/2 cup at a time, working with your hands until all the flour
   is incorporated. Form the dough into a small ball and sprinkle the
   dough with the remaining tablespoon of flour. Place the dough in a
   lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough once to cover with the oil.
   Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let rise until doubled in size,
   about 1 1/2 hours. Punch the dough down and roll into an oval loaf
   about 8 inches by 3 inches. Place the loaf in the center of the
   prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise until double in size, about
   45 minutes. Bake the bread for about 40 minutes, or until golden.
   Remove the bread from the oven and transfer to a wire baking sheet
   and let cool. Slice the bread and serve with butter.
