BBD #17: Bread & Potato - Cynthia's Potato Bread
 |
This event is hosted by Notitie van Lien and the choosed the theme Bread and Potaoes and Zorra has invited for the 17th time to bake bread. So I like to say 'Thank you for this wonderful bread baking day event' to both of them. And ooopps... So I had to bake a quick potato bread and because we visited Cynthia Barcomi's Deli during the trip, I decided to bake her potato bread. The recipe can be found in her book Cynthia Barcomi's Backbuch |
It is a white bread with yeast and nearly the same amount of potaoes and flour. To make the bread more special I added a half teaspoon of ground nutmeg. I like mashed potatoed with nutmeg, so I tried it in this potato bread as well.
The bread has a thin crispy crust and a very soft and moist crumb. It's delicious to eat with soup but also with cheese. The nutmeg added a very special flavour an I can not imagine to eat it with jam but I will try it. I think the bread will be very tasty when toasted.
