Potato Bread 1st Try

[sweet_molin]

Sadness, I didn't put enough water into my potato bread, resulting in hard and dense bread, even though the bread is supposed to be dense enough already. Grrr!!!

Now I finally know the difference between bun and bread. Bun is softer and less dense. Next time I should make buns instead. Hmmm...but I will not give up on my bread, the problem is just lack of water, nothing much, haha. Yeah!!!  ^_^









Ingredients:

1. yeast 7g (0.23 ounce)
2. warm water 1/4 cup
3. all purpose flour 3 1/2 cup  (437.5g)
4. salt 1 tsp
5. full cream milk powder 2 tbsp
6. potato, mashed 1 cup (I use russet potato)
   
7. chives, chopped 1/2 cup (optional)
8. potato water 1/2 cup

Glaze: 1 whole egg

Instructions:

1. Grease any pan you want to bake your bread in.
2. Place yeast in warm water and wait for 5 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, sieve flour, salt, milk powder.
4. Add potato and chives. Mix with a fork.
5. Pour in yeast mixture and potato water
   
6. Knead for 5 to 10 minutes, adding more water or flour until a consistency you are comfortable working with is reached.
7. Place dough in a well-greased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a moist towel and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, for about 60 to 90 minutes.
8. Punch on dough to 'de-gas' it.
9. Divide dough as many as you want and arrange them on the greased pan.
10. Set it aside to rise for approximately an hour again.
11. While waiting for the dough to rise, heat the oven to 210 degree.
12. Glaze the dough.
    
13. Bake for 15 minutes.
14. Lower the temperature of the over to 180 degree. Bake for another 20 minutes.
15. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
16. Serve with herb butter.

Bread can keep up to 3 days.

Sorry if you think the recipe is phrased quite differently, cos I have translated the recipe from an indonesian text and my english is not exactly very good.

I found a recipe which looks better here
You may want to try this one instead.

^_^ Happy Baking!
