I can offer very tasty bread according to my own recipe.
For a long time I was choosing proportions and baking method.
I liked just this option, although it is more laborious (for 5 minutes) and cannot be delivered from evening to morning.
Now we bake only according to this recipe.
The peculiarity of the recipe is the absence of liquids in the dough.
Maybe something in the recipe is wrong or not according to the cook's rules, sorry, not scientists, but the bread is really tasty.
The recipe is very simple, the complexity is only apparent.
POTATO BREAD
Finished roll weight 530 - 550 g
Peeled potatoes - 330 g
Flour 220 g (can be increased to 250 g)
Refined sunflower oil - 15 g
Sugar - 5-6 g (incomplete tsp)
Salt - to taste 3-5 g.
Delicious and healthy additives 0.5 - 3 teaspoons.
Dry yeast - 2 g.
Note: the amount of flour is selected experimentally for your method of cooking potatoes. You can start with the maximum (250g), next time try to reduce it. A sign of a lack of flour in this recipe is a failed top. We love as little flour as possible, so the top is on the edge. It is not round and elastic, but it also does not fall through.
1. Prepare potatoes in advance. We cook in a slow cooker for a couple of 20 minutes. (flour - 220g) If you cook potatoes, it will be more watery and you will need a little more flour (250g).
2. Put the potatoes in a bowl and crush or grind. In short, we make mashed potatoes.
3. We put the form from the bread machine on the scales (set to zero) and put the potatoes there.
4. Add sugar, salt. It is difficult to oversalt such bread, because potatoes "love" salt.
5. Add sunflower (can be replaced with olive) oil. Here you can experiment. Mustard oil gives an interesting result. You can also use unrefined if you like the smell.
6. Skip this point if you want a pure bread taste or add nishtyaki (one thing):
- 2-3 tsp. bran (I use with wheat germ, but any will work)
- 0.5-1 tsp. mustard seed (the bread tastes amazing). But if you want something "hotter", then in step 5. we use mustard oil.
- 0.5-1 tsp. whole coriander (unusual taste, you need to get used to, but even children now sweep away immediately, though at first they turned up their nose))))
- 0.5-2 tsp. dried dill (do not use !! from store bags, only your own drying, you can chop fresh in season)
- 0.5-1 tsp. dried parsley. (I did it once, because no one really liked it, although they still ate to the last crumb)
- 1-2 tsp. dry milk. I did it once, and did not understand what had changed. It seemed to have risen a little less and was more dense.
- something else. If you have any ideas - write, I'll try.
7. We put the form in the bread maker and turn on the main mode. We help to mix with a plastic spatula. 1-2 minutes. Turn off.
8. We put the form on the scales (set to zero), add flour.
9. Add yeast. I sprinkle "by eye", but a bag of 11 grams. enough for 7-8 loaves.
10. We put the form in the bread maker, turn on the main mode. We help to mix with a spatula, cutting movements from the edges. It is necessary to end up with a uniform crumbly mixture. It looks completely dry, but if crushed, it sticks together. It usually takes 2-3 minutes. Turn off.
11. Further it is very IMPORTANT. Since the mixture is quite dry, the flour does not have enough time to swell in the standard program. Therefore, we set the cooking time from 3h40m to 4h20m. If it is longer, then dry yeast may already work and the bread will not rise. Less is possible. It is possible even without this additional primary proofing, but in the process of experimentation it turned out that the specified time works very well. 4 hours is optimal.
12. We turn on the standard program with a time of 4 hours. The crust is optional, but the dark is very hard.Light for those who do not like with a crust. We always cook on average. We crush the mass in the form with a spatula or fingers along the walls so that we get a slide in the center.
13. After the final signal, it is useful to wait 15 minutes, but you can take it out right away. If you wait an hour, the crust will harden, but it does not spoil at all, I like it when it crunches.
14. IMPORTANT: The bread must cool down after shaking out of the mold. No need to cover with a towel or anything else. From evening to morning - normal. To soften the crust, you can put it in a cold bag for 1-2 hours.
If you can't wait and want a hot crust with milk, then you can do this, cut off as much as you need, put on one side on two Chinese sticks so that the cut side is up. Cover with a plastic bag folded several times the size of the bread, pressing down on top with another pair of Chinese sticks. Let it cool in this form. But, as practice shows, if you cut off the hot one, then the rest of the loaf lives on average in time as a tank platoon in battle. You have to make a new one right away. Moreover, the bread disappears regardless of whether there is someone in the house yet or not. It `s Magic.
Even if done on a dark crust, cool overnight, then hold in the bag for a couple of hours, the crust becomes soft, although the thickness and taste are preserved.
The bread is cut like ordinary bread. If not to say that it is made of potatoes, no one realizes.
You can simplify the recipe a little, add sugar, salt, oil, flavoring directly to the bowl where you make the puree. Then there will be fewer cooking steps. From the bowl, the potato mixture immediately into the mold, and go to step 8. The disadvantage of this procedure is that it is more difficult to wash the bowl))) since it will be greasy from oil))) I do not like washing dishes, so I do as I wrote point by point. It's easier for me to enable / disable HP twice.
That is, we do so, point by point:
1.
2,4,5,6
8.
9.
10.
etc.
Bon Appetit!
I will try to take a cut photo soon.
Somewhere there was one of the earliest potato recipes that could be put from evening to morning. In the backfill, the yeast did not come into contact with the liquid.
But after working out the above recipe, all the other breads are gone ...
I looked at the forum, and did not understand in which section to put this recipe, and are there any similar recipes at all?
