MOM'S CRUSTY WHITE POTATO BREAD



Mom's Crusty White Potato Bread image

This is a bread that bakes with a hard crust on the outside and soft flavorful bread inside. For me, the crust comes out a bit dark but it might just be my oven. The flavor is superb though! To decrease rising time, I set up a space heater on my granite counters to warm the counters and increase the air temperature near the dough.I have taken 1/4 of the ingredients and made it successfully in the bread machine, too!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your bread. Try using freshly ground flour, real butter, and fresh herbs.
  • Be patient. Bread making takes time, so don't rush the process. Allow the dough to rise properly and don't overwork it.
  • Pay attention to the temperature of your ingredients. The ideal temperature for the water or milk is between 105°F and 115°F. If the temperature is too high, it will kill the yeast and prevent the bread from rising. If the temperature is too low, the yeast will not be active and the bread will not rise properly.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and has a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Potato bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply served with butter and jam. With a little practice, you can make delicious potato bread at home. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
