Hi Friends :D
TGIF, right? :D I always love it when it's Friday because that means tomorrow everyone I love is home :D
I spent the better part of my morning teaching 2 of my neighbors how to Steemit! Finally they were able to join, after waiting for months, and/or incorrect password over and over. Can you believe they had to purchase new phone numbers just so they could try again haha So yeah, finally after I walked them through, they have their accounts now, yay.
Heaps thanks to my a.k.a #powerhousecreatives friends, for sparing their precious time to welcome one of my neighbors who started with her introduction earlier,
. I appreciate it, you guys, you are just awesome! <3 It reminds me my very own first day here, my gosh, Nita, you are so lucky, needless to say haha
Anyhoo.... I have a loaf of bread to share today. Great as is or to be toasted. Normally in Hungary it is not shaped as a loaf, but rather as a round bread though.
Just look at the texture. Beautiful! And the secret ingredient to this caraway bread is....POTATO!
Here is the recipe should you like to give it a try :D
- 1 envelope active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 c lukewarm water
- 4 1/2 c flour
- 1 tbsp.salt
- 1 tsp caraway seed
- 1/2 c mashed potato
- In a large bowl dissolve the yeast in 3/4 cup of the water.
- Add in 3 tbsp flour. Cover and let rise for 30 mins.
- Stir in remaining 3/4 cup water, salt, caraway seed. Gradually add mashed potato and flour. Knead about 10 minutes.
- Place in a well greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size (1 1/2 hours)
- Punch down dough, then knead for 4 mins. Place dough into a loaf pan.
- Flatten to fit and let rise again until doubled in size (30 mins)
- Brush top with water and cut 1/4 inch deep cross
- Bake on preheated 375 F for 1 H and 15 mins
- Cool on rack!
Thanks for looking and have a great coming week-end! :D
AND OH! Happy International Women's Day, ladies!!
