Potato Bread And Buns With Potato Starch Recipes

SUPER SOFT GLUTEN FREE POTATO BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Grease a standard 1-pound loaf pan and set it aside.
• Place the potatoes, milk, and eggs, in a blender, and blend on high speed just until smooth. Don't blend very long or you'll activate the starch too much and your mixture will become glue-like. Set the potato mixture aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, place the flour blend, xanthan gum, tapioca starch/flour, sugar, and instant yeast. Whisk to combine well. Add the salt, and whisk again to combine.
• Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the potato mixture, and the melted butter.
• Beat in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until well-combined. Continue to beat until the mixture begins to take on a whipped appearance, 3 to 4 minutes. The bread dough will be thick but soft.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared 1 pound loaf pan. Smooth the top into an even layer with a moistened spatula.
• Cover the loaf pan, and set in a warm, draft-free location to rise. Allow the dough to rise until about 150% of its original size.
• Yeast bread dough will rise more slowly in cooler, drier conditions, and faster in warmer, humid conditions. Be patient.
• Remove the cover on the risen dough, and spray the top with cooking oil spray until it glistens.
• Place the pan in the center of the preheated oven. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue to bake until the internal temperature of the bread is about 210°F on an instant read thermometer, the bread is golden brown all over, and the center feels firm when pressed with the tip of your finger. That should take about another 20 minutes, but may take longer. If the loaf doesn't feel firm enough but is becoming too brown, lower the oven temperature to 300°F for the remainder of the baking time.
• Remove the loaf in the baking pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Try the loaf out of the pan and onto the wire rack, and allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.
• The loaf may sink a bit on the top and sides, since the bread is so moist and tender. As long as you allow it to cool completely, the bread will remain soft and fluffy inside, never compressed.

HOMEMADE POTATO BUNS

Steps:

• Put the potato in a medium saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 18 minutes. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup potato cooking water. Let the water cool until lukewarm (90 to 100 degrees F).
• Use a ricer or food mill to puree the warm potato into the bowl of a stand mixer. (You can also mash with a masher; just make sure to get the potatoes very smooth.) Add the butter, honey and salt to the warm potatoes and stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add 1 egg, the yeast and the lukewarm cooking water. Mix with the dough hook on low speed to combine.
• Add 3 1/2 cups of the flour and mix on low to combine. Knead on medium-high speed, adding up to 1/4 cup more flour, if needed, to make a smooth, slightly sticky dough that forms a loose ball on the dough hook, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the dough onto a floured countertop and knead a few times to make a smooth ball. Oil a large bowl, add the ball and turn to coat. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Punch the dough down. Dust a clean, flat work surface with flour. Turn out the dough and cut it into 8 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, pinch the dough under itself to form a ball. With the pinched side down, cup your hands under the dough and rotate on the counter to form a smooth ball. Use one hand to roll the ball into a 4-inch-long oval roll. Place on a lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining balls of dough. Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise until light and airy looking, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Place an oven rack in the lower and upper third positions. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• When the dough has completed the second rise, beat the remaining egg with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl and gently brush the rolls with the egg wash. Sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake, rotating from top to bottom and back to front halfway through, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Rolls can be made a day ahead. For longer storage, wrap and freeze.
