Bread/parmesan potato batter bread
Makes: 1 loaf
Active Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
1/4 oz Active yeast, dry
1/2 cup Warm water, 110 to 115 degrees F
1 3/4 cup All purpose flour
1 tablespoon Sugar
3/4 teaspoon Salt
2 each Garlic clove, finely chopped
1 cup Shredded potatoes
4 tablespoon Unsalted butter, room temperature
1 each Large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoon Cold unsalted butter, diced 1/4"
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly grease an 8-inch round pan with 1 tablespoon butter.
Step 2
In a large bowl, stir yeast into water to soften. Add flour, sugar, salt, garlic, potato, 4 tablespoon butter, and egg. Beat vigorously for 3 minutes with either a wooden spoon or a stand mixer (batter is too thick to use a handheld mixer). Scrape batter into prepared pan.
Step 3
Cover with a tightly woven cloth, such as a dishcloth, and let rise for 50 minutes; after 40 minutes, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Just before baking, sprinkle surface with cheese and dot bread with 2 tablespoons cold butter. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F on an instant read thermometer; surface should be golden. Cut into eight pie-shaped wedges. Serve immediately.
