German Potato Bread

German Potato Bread

My little 11-month food connoisseur loves potatoes. So, I flip through my 500 Potato Recipes book and give this easy-peasy German Potato Bread recipe a try.

German Potato Bread, p. 249

Ingredients:

(Makes one 450g loaf)

175g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

200ml lukewarm boiled potato water

Butter, for greasing

2 cups bread flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Note: I omit paprika and mustard-flavored butter (original recipe).

How to:

1. Boil potatoes until tender, drain (reserve 200ml) and mash. Set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 230°C. Grease a 450g loaf tin (pan).

3. Sift bread flour into a large bowl and mix together with baking powder and salt.

4. Rub the mashed potatoes into the flour mixture and mix until well-blended.

5. Stir in vegetable oil and lukewarm potato water. Knead into dough and place it into the greased loaf tin.

6. Bake for 25 minutes. Turn out on a wire rack to cool. Cut into thick chunks before serving.

Fresh from the oven!

Thick and chunky.
