This is a highly unusual but delicious bread.
1 large potato, boiled, cooled, and grated (enough to make 1 ½ cups
grated potato) |
1 cup warm potato water |
Combine the potato, garlic (use more garlic if desired), salt, potato water, yeast and sugar. Stir until the yeast is dissolved and then add the flour. You will have to finish mixing this dough with your hands. When it is thoroughly blended, brush the top of the dough with soft butter, cover and let rise until doubled. Punch the dough down and turn it into a well-buttered 8 or 9-inch skillet. Brush the top of the dough with soft butter again and let rise again. Bake in a 425º oven until well browned and done, approximately 25-30 minutes.
