Super Easy Sweet Potato Bread!

What you need: 

1 decent-sized sweet potato
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons oil (I used EVOO)
3/4 cup warm water
1 packet active dry yeast
handful of flaxseed (optional)

What you do: 

First off, you can either nuke or bake your sweet potato. I nuked mine since it was much quicker.
Get out a mixing bowl and throw in your brown sugar, oil, and warm water. Take the cooked sweet potato, mash it up, and add to mixture. Mix that until it's a relatively smooth consistency (I don't own a mixer or anything to even mash the sweet potato, so I diced the sweet potato, and put all of it in the blender for maybe 10 seconds).
After that, add the remaining ingredients and mix/knead. There's a chance you might want to sprinkle a little more flour just to make it a little less sticky.
Put your dough into a greased loaf pan, cover with a towel, and let sit for 90 minutes in a dry warm area (on top of the stove perhaps).
Pop it in the oven set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and let it bake for 30-35 minutes.
Take it out, cut yourself a slice while it's still hot, put a little Earth Balance and cinnamon on it, and you're in love!

SO HOW'D IT GO?

doesn't the yeast need to be mixed with the warm water to activate it?  wondering if there's a typo in the directions..
