Description
A delicious and hearty bread that combines the flavors of sourdough with the texture of potato chunks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 80 grams active sourdough starter (⅓ cup)
- 180 grams raw potatoes (the weight of cooked potatoes may vary)
- 180 grams potato water or milk (¾ cup)
- 300 grams all-purpose flour (2¼ cups)
- 8 grams salt (1½ teaspoons)
Instructions
- Roughly mash your cooked potatoes with some milk or the water they were cooked in. Leave some large chunks for texture – no need to mash it all completely.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a mixing bowl, add salt, sourdough starter, and flour to get a sticky dough. If you want, use a stand mixer with a dough hook to mix it up.
- Cover the dough with an airtight material (plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or a plastic bag) and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, perform stretch and folds or coil folds to develop gluten.
- Do 4 sets of stretch and folds or coil folds over the course of about 1 hour, keeping the dough covered.
- Let the dough rise for about 5 – 7 hours at room temperature, keeping it covered.
- Shape the dough on a lightly floured surface and place it in a banneton basket lined with a tea towel.
- Let the dough rest in a warm place for 1 – 3 hours.
- Flip the dough onto parchment paper, floured side up.
- Score the dough with a knife.
- Place the dough on parchment paper into a preheated Dutch oven.
- Bake at 460°F (238°C) for 25 minutes; then remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes at 440°F (227°C).
- Let it cool for at least an hour on a cooling rack before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure the potatoes are well-cooked for easier mashing.
- Keep the dough covered to prevent drying out during resting periods.
- Experiment with different types of flour for varied flavor and texture.
