Hello everyone, I am Xiao Gaojie.
Today we make potato bread
please excuse my hoarse voice today
Prepare a yellow potato
About 150 grams after peeling
dice the potato
Add two tablespoons of water and use a microwave to cook the potatoes
now it is fully cooked
mash the potatoes while it is hot
No need to be very smooth. It is OK, if there are bigger potato chunks.
cold milk from fridge, heated it up in a microwave oven for 30 seconds.
Pour in some first
loosen the mashed potatoes a bit
If you pour all at once, the mashed potatoes are not easy to stir evenly.
After mixing well, the temperature will not be to high anymore
Check it, no higher than body temperature
Put in yeast
egg
sugar
And oil
Stir well and put in bread flour
Potatoes are basically starch
It weakens the dough's gluten structure
So try to use bread flour
Mix it with a spatula and finally stir it into a soft dough.
This is a no knead bread
Cover and ferment for about two hours
de-gas first after two hours
with the help of dry flour, take out this sticky dough
Try to make a more regular shape
So when you cut , the size will be more uniform
cut into half
Continue to halve
until you have 8 small pieces of dough
dust enough dry flour
Use a rolling pin to further remove the air pockets
Change direction, one more time
Final rounding
With fingers, and your thumb
from all directions press the surrounding down under the small dough
This is a very fast and effective method to form a round shape
I will use this potato bread to make hamburgers.
Press it down a bit, the shape of the burger bun comes out.
brush on butter
you know if you brush egg wash
the bread surface comes out very shiny
if you spray water on the bread before baking, the crust is harder.
For example, baguette is baked in an oven with steam
however if you brush butter, the bread comes out very soft.
Cover with wrap and final proof for about 45 minutes
Brush the butter one more time before entering the oven
It tastes better with salted butter.
Put in a preheated oven
375°F/ 190°C bake for 17-20 minutes
because of butter, the bread color gets dark very easily, you'll be very careful
After baking, you see the black spots on the top.
these are potato bits and pieces
Take it out and put it on the cooling rack
Can you imagine, a dough completely free of kneading
Can produce such soft and nice bread texture
Its skin is really soft
You can't taste of potatoes anymore
But in your mouth, you can feel this unique sweetness
My kids love this bread
Specially, they love the hamburgs made with this bread
We will make hamburgers next time
Thank you for watching, I am Xiaogao, we will see you next time ^^
