Potato Bread
Here is a link to the recipe I followed: Butter with a side of bread
My loaves did not turn out like the ones in the recipe pictures, but it tasted amazing. I was inspired by my new friend, Andrea to make these. She was following this recipe over on her instagram page @Andycydesserts and it looked so yummy I had to try it. She usually makes this recipe using only one loaf pan, but her most recent dough overflowed in her pan and burned some of it. SO, I made sure to have two loaf pans ready to use.
I tried my best to eliminate as much dairy as possible from this recipe and swap it for vegan substitutes. I made a vegan version of mashed potatoes which was a little watery, but I added cornstarch to fix that. I also used vegan-friendly "butter" by the brand EarthBalance. I did use eggs in this recipe because I wasn't ready to use a flax egg, I was scared it would make the loaf too dense.I know that ceramic or glass pans are best to use for baking, but these were the only two I had and I wanted to see how they would bake differently. I actually ran to the store while the dough was rising the first time to get the glass dish you'll see below. I ordered one off Amazon a few days before, and it didn't arrive in time to bake this- so now I have 2 glass dishes.
As you can see there's even a difference in how the dough rose the second time after it was placed in these dishes. The dough in the glass dish rose significantly more than the metal pan. They also baked differently. In the very top photo of this post, the loaf on the left was baked in the metal pan, the one on the right in the glass. The metal pan loaf was sightly more dense and required a little longer to fully bake.
This bread was super light and fluffy (both loaves). it's the perfect bread to serve with dinner- mine was kind of sweet/savory like a dinner roll. We just toasted it and ate it with butter most of the week. I plan to make more of these, but it will have to wait since the recipe makes so much and I can only eat so much bread in a week before I'm sick of it. I also tried to mix it up a bit and ate it as an open faced BLT (veggie bacon) sandwich! I'm sure you'll see more of this bread in the future!
