Buttermilk Potato Bread Food

BUTTERMILK POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• Peel potato and cut into large pieces. Place in a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil and cook until soft. Drain and reserve the liquid. Mash potato and set aside.
• Cool 1 cup of the potato water to 100 degrees and then add the yeast. Proof for about 10 minutes.
• Combine mashed potato, sugar, buttermilk, butter, salt, dill and yeast mixture.
• Slowly add the flour and knead to produce a smooth, springy dough. This may be 2½ cups of flour... it may be 4 ... it depends on where you are, so just go by feel. You want a TACKY dough, not a dry dough and not a sticky dough.
• Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Shape the dough into either a loaf pan or rolls (be sure to cut the top of the roll with a pair of scissors so they don't explode in the oven).
• Bake until the internal temperature reads 200 degrees.
• Enjoy!

BUTTERMILK POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Place potato and enough water to cover into a small saucepan over medium high heat. Cover, and bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer about 10 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and RESERVE liquid, add enough water to potato water to make 1 cup. Mash potato with a fork, set aside.
• 2. When potato water has cooled and is just warm, (110-120 degrees) pour into large mixing bowl, add yeast and 1 tsp sugar, stir together and allow to rest 5-10 minutes or until foamy. While yeast is resting, heat buttermilk and butter together in microwave or on stove top just until butter has melted. Pour over mashed potatoes and mix well. When yeast is foamy, add potato mixture, remaining sugar, salt and 2 c of bread flour to yeast mixture. With whisk attachment, whisk on medium speed for 1 minute, then high for 1 minute.
• 3. Switch to dough hook. Add 2c of bread flour with mixer on low - medium low, after flour is all mixed in, start adding more flour 1/4 c at a time until a dough ball starts to form and pulls away from sides, it will be sticky. I usually end up adding a total of 5 cups of bread flour. Occasionally 4 and sometimes 6 cups. Depends on the size of your potato and your climate. (this is why I try to have 1 1/2 c cooked potato)
• 4. When soft sticky dough ball has formed, continue to mix with dough hook for 2-3 minutes. Then remove dough to a large bowl that has been oiled or sprayed. Flip over to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap, then a towel. Place in warm place to rise for about 45 minutes, or until double in size. (I turn my oven to 200 degree and set my bowl on stove top, not the hottest spot)
• 5. When doubled, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, cut in half, shape into loaves and place into 2 greased 4x8 loaf pans. Cover with plastic wrap, place in warm place to rise until doubled in size. Beat egg with cream, brush over loaves and bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes. Or until internal temp is 170. Or for rolls, I turn dough out on to lightly floured surface form dough into approx 24 buns, I use my large cookie scoop (1/4 c size) to help get evenly sized buns. Place on parchment lined air bake cookie sheets, cover with plastic wrap, let rise until doubled, brush tops with egg wash, then bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Or until an internal temp of 180.
• 6. I did knots for the rolls in the photo...but I wouldn't do that normally. :o)

POTATO BUTTERMILK BREAD

Steps:

• Have all ingredients ready at room temperature. Bring a small to medium pot of water to a boil. Boil potatoes until done. Add hot potatoes and butter to a stand mixer and stir well.
• Add 4 tsp yeast + 2 cups buttermilk + 2 beaten eggs + 2 Tbsp sugar + 1 ½ tsp salt and mix well.
• Gradually stir in bread flour until the dough is moist but not sticky. Using the dough hook, knead on low to medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic. Transfer to an oiled bowl and turn it over to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature until it's doubled in volume, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (If your kitchen is too cold, you can preheat the oven to the lowest setting, then turn it off and place the dough inside.)
• When the dough has doubled in size, lightly grease two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Punch the dough down, divide in half and form into two loaves, placing them seam-side down in the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise again at room temperature until almost doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (If you don't have loaf pans, you can free-form an artisan loaf on a cookie sheet).
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush the top of the loaves with the single beaten egg and bake the loaves until they are golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when thumped, about 40-45 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Bread can be wrapped individually in freezer bags and stored for future enjoyment!

• Add buttermilk, butter, bouillon powder, dill, salt, and pepper and mash until creamy.

BUTTERMILK MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Add them to the boiling water and bring the water back to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
• Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn't boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
• As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a food mill fitted with a small disk/blade over a heatproof bowl. Pass the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth. As soon as the potatoes are mashed, stir in the hot milk mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula. Add enough buttermilk to make the potatoes creamy. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper, and serve hot. To keep the potatoes warm, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water for up to 30 minutes. You can add a little extra hot milk to keep them creamy.
