Instructions:
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
- Place the potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook until they are soft, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Mash the cooled potatoes until they are smooth. You should get about 1 cup of mashed potatoes.
- Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water and yeast.
- Stir lightly and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and chopped rosemary.
- Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Pour the yeast mixture and the mashed potatoes into the well.
- Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface.
- Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat all sides.
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough to release the air.
- Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead it briefly to remove any air bubbles.
- Shape the dough into a loaf or your desired shape.
- Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a greased bread pan.
- Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
- Let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the dough has risen, remove the cover.
- Place the bread in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
- Allow it to cool completely before slicing to ensure the texture is set properly.
- Slice the bread and serve it with butter, olive oil, or your favorite spread.
- Enjoy your freshly baked rosemary & potato bread!
Tips:
- Make sure the potatoes are fully cooked and mashed before adding them to the dough to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Use warm water (around 105°F or 40°C) to activate the yeast more effectively.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area to help the yeast work efficiently.
- Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, which usually takes about 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a stand mixer.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure and texture.
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can sprinkle a bit of coarse sea salt on top of the loaf before baking.
Congratulations, your rosemary & potato bread is ready to be enjoyed! The combination of rosemary and potatoes creates a unique flavor profile that is both comforting and aromatic. Serve it warm with a pat of butter, or use it to elevate any meal. Happy baking!
