A great potato bread recipe – no fat, no eggs, no sugar – and delicious.
Mix yeast with some warm water and proof (let it sit) for about 30 minutes.
After yeast has frothed, dump it in mixing bowl with remainder of water,
mashed potatoes, salt, caraway seeds and 4 cups flour. Mix and knead adding
flour as necessary. Knead for ten minutes. Let sit covered in floured pot
till doubled in size. This takes a few hours.
Beat down. At this point you can add chopped onions, dill, poppy seeds, or
whatever you wish to have in the bread. Onions are great. Knead for 7
minutes. Place in pot that has been pam’ed and floured and cover. Let
double in size which usually takes less time than the first rise. Moisten
(spray) top with a little water and place in 375 oven for 50 minutes. Take
out of stove and take bread out of pot at this point. If you let it sit, it
can get stuck in pot.
I use a bread pan for 35 minutes, then remove bread from pan and finish on
baking tile.
