anyways!! back to the recipe!!! So what have we been discussing for the past month???
Tender Potato Bread!! And everything it has to do with the recipe...including the type of potato, flour, amount of various ingredients, kneading technique, different ways of shaping the loaf...i tell u, it's such fun to be a daring baker!!!
the kneading is quite a challenge...as some fellow DBers commented, the dough felt like Grandma's flabby arms!!! Gross description...but true!!!
I actually gave up kneading...cos i just couldn't do anything to it...and tot if i left it to raise a little longer, it should be fine.. :P
thankfully it was..!!! This time round, the recipe was quite versatile and we were allowed, and encouraged to come up with variations in shaping and topping the loaf as long as it remained a savoury bread...
I topped mine with onions rendered in chicken drippings, parsley, italian herbs and seasalt.
Brought it to a picnic where it was very warmly received...only complaint was that there wasn't more!!!
The making of the bread... see the sticky threads in the mixing bowl..?
Paired up with a simple salad and smoked cod dip.
Thanks Tanna of my kitchen in half cups for choosing such a fantastic recipe!!! 10/10!!!
