Potato and Herb Bread
« on: June 20, 2011, 09:06:37 pm »
Ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon Yeast
  • 3/4 Cup Warm Milk
  • 1/8 Cup Sugar
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/3 Cup Shortening
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 Cup warm Mashed Potatoes
  • 3 1/2 Cups Flour
  • 3 Tablespoons of your favorite fresh herbs - reduce by half if using dried herbs

Preparation:
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in sugar, salt shortening, egg, potatoes, herbs and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto floured board: knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, cover tightly. Let rise for 1 hour then punch it down and let it rise for another 45 minutes. Form into rolls or a single loaf. Place into your 12” Dutch oven and let rise for 1 hour. Bake with 6 briquettes bottom heat and 16 briquettes top heat until done, about 25-30 minutes.  Rotate the oven and lid every 10-15 minutes.

What herbs do you usually use when making this bread?  Any favorite combinations?

This bread disappears FAST!  I made it at a family reunion on Saturday and it was gone before it even cooled down.

Good thing I snapped a couple of pictures before this bread disappeared.  They have been added to the recipe.

Yes, this bread was as good as it looked. And yes, it was gone fast!

There are two rules of Dutch Oven Cooking:

While it was baking, I kept pointing to a spot near the lid of the oven and telling people, "Put your nose right THERE." 

Divine indeed!  Thanks again for the recipe!
