Ingredients
- 2 pieces Medium potatoes
- 2 cups Water
- 5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into cubes. Place them in a saucepan and cover with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Once cooked, drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking water in a separate bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
Step 3
Add the mashed potatoes back to the reserved cooking water and allow the mixture to cool until it's warm to the touch, about 105°F to 115°F.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potato mixture, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently until the yeast begins to dissolve. Let this mixture rest for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
Step 5
Add the salt, olive oil, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Step 6
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky.
Step 7
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Step 8
Lightly oil a large bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, and turn it to coat all sides with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Step 9
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a loaf.
Step 10
Place the shaped loaf into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Step 11
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 12
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 13
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 and enjoy your Dairy-Free Old Tyme Potato Bread!
