IRISH POTATO BREAD (IRISH FARLS)

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes into quarters or large chunks. Add to a large pot of cold water.Bring potatoes to the boil, then reduce to a hard simmer. Cook potatoes until they are tender and cooked through.
• Strain potatoes into a colander and leave to cool.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle place in a potato ricer and rice/mash your potatoes into a large bowl.Alternatively use a potato masher and mash well making sure there are no lumps.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl.If you are adding extra ingredients to spruce your Irish potato bread up, now is the time to do so. Further information above or in the recipe card's note section.
• Using a spoon mix ingredients together until it becomes difficult to keep mixing.
• Continue mixing the dough in the bowl with your hands.Check for dough consistency.If you find your dough a little too sticky to handle, add some more flour to make it manageable.
• Remove dough from bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Give it a quick knead until smooth.If you still find the dough a little too sticky add some more flour while kneading.The dough is on the sticky side, but should be manageable with flour dusted hands.Divide the dough into six equal portions and shape into balls.
• Working one at a time place a ball of dough on a lightly floured surface.You can use a clean kitchen bench, or wooden board that has been covered with some baking paper.
• Lightly flour a rolling pin and roll out the dough ball to the desired thickness.3mm (one eighth of an inch) for thin, or half a centimeter (just under a quarter of an inch) for thicker bread.
• Cut the rolled out dough into quarters.Alternatively, you can cook them whole for larger pieces of Irish potato bread.
• Place a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil and a dollop of butter.Once the butter has melted add pieces of dough to the pan.Fry on one side until golden, then turn them over with a spatular. Once the other side is golden and the bread is cooked through remove from the pan.
• Place the cooked Irish potato bread on a tray in the oven on low heat to keep warm. Make sure to cover the bread with aluminium foil to stop them from drying out. Continue cooking the rest of the dough. Add more butter and oil to the pan as needed.

ZADI'S POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• Bring the water, butter, sugar, buttermilk powder, and salt to a simmer in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat, mix well, and let cool to between 105 and 110 degrees F (41 to 43 degrees C). Sprinkle the yeast on top of the mixture, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until the yeast begins to form a creamy foam. Stir in the instant mashed potato flakes, and mix well.
• Pour the yeast mixture into the work bowl of a standing mixer with a dough paddle, and slowly incorporate 8 cups of bread flour into the liquid, adding the flour 1 cup at a time.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for about 8 minutes, adding the remaining flour to the dough as you knead. When the dough is smooth and elastic, form into a ball, and place into a large greased bowl. Turn the dough over in the bowl to grease the top, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.
• Spray 2 9x5 inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Punch the dough down, divide into two pieces, and shape each piece into a loaf shape. Place the loaves in the baking pans, seam sides down, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake bread for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to a wire rack to cool.
