this was a complete accident...messed up my potatoes for the gnocchi as it came out very off color and gluey pile of mess so i tried to salvage it by adding flour then yeast and making it into a bread...remarkably, it turned out very well and became one of my best loaves ever...haha
ingredients:
- potato mess from roasting shaved potato in a foil pouch with a little but of water for 40 minutes at 400 degrees (40%)
- bread flour (60%)
- 2 tsp yeast
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- break off golf ball sized pieces of potato mess and add onto a pile of flour
- start kneading as potato mess has lots of liquid...don't add any water...if anything, i added more potato
- when smooth and tacky feeling, its done so roll into a ball and placed into an oiled bowl...oil the dough ball then cover with plastic wrap
- when risen to double size, gently pat out then fold onto itself and shape into a circle shape and flour all sides, then place on cardboard
- wait about 1 hour for it to rise about 50-70%, then turn on oven to 450 degrees
- when oven at 450, score bread several times vertical and same amount of times horizonal (i did 3x3)
- presteam the oven, then add bread
- bake for 45 minutes (til hollow and 205-210 degrees internal temp)...may need to turn down to 425 or400 if gets too dark...potato bread darkens faster so be ready to turn down...i turned down to 400 for last 20 minutes
- dark flavor to the crust but very nice crust
- soft interior but slight sticky
- wish holes were bigger
- potato cannot be tasted
- i think potato just makes the bread more sticky and smooth and less dry
