Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Russet potatoes
- 240 ml Warm water
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 30 grams Honey
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Salt
- 60 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 120 ml Non-fat milk
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes. Boil them in a pot of water until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth. Measure out 150 grams of mashed potatoes and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy, indicating that the yeast is activated.
Add honey, cooled mashed potatoes, and unsweetened applesauce to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture while stirring to form a soft dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm location until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Once risen, punch down the dough gently and turn it onto a floured surface. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf again and let it rise for another 30 minutes until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the top of the loaf with non-fat milk.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the bread once cooled and enjoy as is or toasted with your favorite toppings.
