Ingredients
- 250 g Strong white bread flour
- 250 g mashed potatoes
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 100 ml warm water
- 2 teaspoon fast-action dry yeast
Instructions
- Either boil 2 large potatoes in their skin, or peel, dice and boil until tender.
- Mash and leave to cool down.
- Add the yeast to the warm water, give it a stir to dissolve, and leave to rest for 1 minute
- In a large bowl, sift the flour, add the cooled mashed potatoes, salt, oil and yeast mixture, and knead well for about 5 minutes to get a smooth and elastic dough that does not stick to the hands.
- Cover the bowl with clingfilm, and leave to prove in a warm place for about 2 hours or until it doubles its volume.
- Knead the dough gently again, shape it in a ball, then flatten it up slightly.
- Transfer the bread to a floured baking tray and leave to prove again until double in size.
- Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (430 Fahrenheit).
- Add hot water to the dripping pan set at the bottom of the oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and when given a sharp knock on the bottom of the bread, it sounds hollow.
- Leave to cook down on a rack before slicing.
