Potato Bread 1 med. potato, peeled and diced 2 pkgs. dry yeast 2 tbsp. butter or margarine 2 tbsp. sugar 2 tbsp. salt 1 c. milk 5 1/2 to 6 c. all-purpose flour
Cook potato in a small amount of boiling water 10 to 15 minutes or until tender; drain and reserve liquid. Mash potato, and measure 3/4 cup; set aside.

Stir in sugar, salt, milk, mashed potatoes, and 1 cup flour. Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 to 10 minutes). Place in a well greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees) free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down, and divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf. Place in two well-greased 8 x 4 x 3 inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped.

MASHED POTATO BREAD Make the potato sourdough starter for this tender, crusty bread one day ahead. - 1 9- to 11-ounce russet potato, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups (or more) water
- 2 teaspoons dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (105°F. to 115°F)
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 3/4 cups (about) unbleached all purpose flour
- 1 large egg white, beaten to blend
Boil potato in 2 cups water in medium saucepan until very tender, about 15 minutes. Strain cooking liquid into large bowl, set aside. Cool liquid to 105°F to 115°F. Mash potato in small bowl until smooth. Combine mashed potato, 1 teaspoon yeast and 1/2 C reserved cooking liquid. Cover bowl with plastic and let starter stand at room temperature overnight. Pour 1/4 cup warm water into small bowl. Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon yeast over; stir to blend. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 10 minutes. Stir yeast mixture into starter. Stir in melted butter, honey and salt. Mix in whole wheat flour. Mix in enough all purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form soft dough. Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Form dough into ball. Butter large bowl. Place dough in bowl; turn to coat. Cover with plastic. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Lightly flour 2 large baking sheets. Punch down dough. Turn dough out onto floured work surface and knead until smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll each half between palms and work surface into 14-inch-long loaf. Transfer to prepared baking sheets. Cover with dry towel. Let rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in top third of oven and preheat to 500°F. Using sharp knife, cut 5 diagonal slashes in surface of each loaf. Brush loaves with egg white. Bake loaves 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400°F. Bake until loaves are brown and sound hollow when tapped on bottom, switching and rotating baking sheets halfway through baking, about 15 minutes longer. Cool on racks. (Can be prepared 2 weeks ahead. Cool completely. Wrap loaves separately in foil, seal in plastic bag and freeze. Thaw loaves, then rewarm, wrapped in foil, in 350°F oven 15 minutes.) Makes 2 loaves. Note: The original recipe for the starter calls for using ALL of the reserved liquid from boiling the potato. However, this seems to make the dough much too sticky and difficult to handle. More water can be added if necessary, but adding more flour to use up the excess water alters the flavor. | |

Pumpkin Cider Bread Two favorite fall ingredients are combined in the recipe below. - 1 cup apple cider
- 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground mace
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
In a saucepan boil the cider until it is reduced to about 1/4 cup and let it cool. In a bowl whisk together well the pumpkin purée, the eggs, the oil, the brown sugar, the zest, and the reduced cider. Into the bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the baking soda, the mace, the cinnamon, and the cloves, add the walnuts, and stir the batter until it is just combined. Transfer the batter to a well-buttered 8 1/2-by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan and bake the bread in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan. Makes 1 loaf. Comments/Suggestions: I increased the baking powder by 1 tsp and the soda by 1/2 tsp. This gave it a little more volume. This bread is moist and delicious, but 2 tbsp of orange zest overpowers the other flavors, for my taste. Next time I'll use one tbsp or less. | |
