[bbd] – Guinness and Potato Bread

It’s time for Bread Baking Day again.

This month Lien from Notitie van Lien chose the theme Bread and Potatoes and is acting as host kitchen. Thank you Lien.

When I read them theme announced at Lien’s blog I was very excited ’cause I immediately knew which bread I wanted to bake.

There was one potato bread lounging in my links for some time now and I wanted it to try ’cause it has my favourite ingredients: Guinness and potatos…

(original recipe here)

Ingredients:
4.75 cups spelt flour
4 mashed potatoes
0.5 cup luke warm Guinness
7 grams (1 packet) yeast
2 tsps salt
2 tbsps olive oil

1 – Dissolve (completely) yeast in the Guinness
2 – Mix with potatoes, oil, and salt
3 – Gradually add all of the flour.
4 – Kneed until smooth, then cover for half an hour to rise.
5 – Roll out, either into two large rounds, or into 16 rolls and place on a floured towel, cover and let rise for 20 more minutes.
6 – Bake at 200°C until done.

My thoughts:

The bread is wonderful. Rich, moist and very tasty. I have baked it again twice and still like it. I could not imagine a potato brad would be so yummy, I should have tried this earlier!
Thanks Lien for making me step out of my comfort zone once again. :)

I love that picture of the guinness and potatoes and your PC… like you were planning it all to happen. And it did, wonderful bread. Great combo beer and potatoes (hey, we eat crisps with our beer right!) Great bread Astrid, and thanks for joining BBD 17!!

:0) A laptop, a Guinness and potatoes = bread
Sounds perfectly modern and old all at once.
I just working on my potato bread post. Have a little beer in mine too ;)

What a brilliant combination. It seems only natural to pair a good heavy beer with a potato bread, right? Thanks for the recipe.
