Potato Garlic Bread

This is a highly unusual but delicious bread. It's best served at barbecues, or with a hearty meal. I always serve it with barbecued spareribs.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Loaf pan
  • Saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 Potato - large Boiled, cooled, and grated (enough to make 1½ cups grated potato
  • 1 Garlic clove, large Put through a press
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Cake of yeast
  • 2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 2 cups Flour
  • Softened butter

Instructions

  • Combine the potato, garlic (use more garlic if desired), salt, potato water, yeast, and sugar.
  • Stir until the yeast is dissolved and then add the flour. You will have to finish mixing this dough with your hands.
  • When it is thoroughly blended, brush the top of the dough with soft butter, cover, and let rise until doubled.
  • Punch the dough down and turn it into a well-buttered loaf pan.
  • Brush the top of the dough with soft butter again and let rise again.
  • Bake in a 375° oven until well browned and done, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
