Rosemary Garlic Potato Bread
- 2 large russet potatoes, well baked and still warm
- 1 garlic head, roasted and still warm
- 2 (1/4-ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1. Peel and coarsely chop the potatoes. Squeeze the garlic from the garlic head into a medium bowl and add the potatoes.
- 2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the yeast, 2 cups warm water, and the sugar and let the yeast bloom for about 7 minutes, or until bubbly. Add the olive oil, potatoes, garlic, salt, and flours. Mix on medium speed for 15 minutes.
- 3. Turn the dough out into an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 4. Punch it down and let it rise again for 1 hour. Punch it down again and cut the dough in half. Shape each loaf into a ball, place them on a baking sheet, and let them rise for 45 minutes, or until nice and poofy.
- 5. Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F.
- 6. Brush the loaves with olive oil and sprinkle them with a wee bit of salt and some rosemary. Cut a big slash across the top of each and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the loaves are a nice rich brown and sound hollow when tapped. Let cool on a wire rack. Never refrigerate!
