List of Ingredients
Au Gratin Potato Bread
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup water -- from cooking the potatoes
1/3 cup mashed potatoes -- plain, room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3 cups bread flour
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese -- diced
1/4 cup onion -- diced
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
Place all ingredients except for the ingredients in the "Add at Beep" area
(if applicable for this recipe) in to your machines fully assembled pan.
Select the "Basic" or "White" cycle and press start.
10 minutes after your machine has started kneading the dough open the lid
and check the consistency of the dough. The dough should be tacky to the
touch like the sticky part of a Post-It Note™. If the bread is too dry add
1 tbsp. of water at a time allowing a minute or two of kneading then check
it again. If needed add another tablespoon of liquid. Repeat this until
the dough reaches the proper consistency. If the dough is too dry apply
the above steps but using flour instead of liquid.
Note: Just because you had to make this adjustment doesn't mean there is
something wrong with the recipe or your machine. The weather plays an
important part on bread making, and adjustments you make one time may not
be the same adjustments you make next time. This is why it is important to
check the dough consistency.
Once you have checked and if needed adjusted the dough close the lid of
your machine allow the cycle to continue.
Add at Beep Ingredients
If this recipe has an "Add at Beep" section these ingredients need to be
added at your machines add ingredients beep signal (an option on most
bread machines) or during the last 10 minutes of the kneading part of the
cycle. The reason you don't add them at the beginning is to prevent them
from being broken down in to tiny bits or mashed in to a paste.
The Bread is Done
Once your bread is completed allow it to sit in your machines pan for 10
minutes (no longer or it can get soggy). Then remove it to a wire rack to
cool. The reason for letting it sit for 10 minutes is to soften the crust
making it easier to get out of the pan. Allow the bread to cool at least
20 minutes before cutting it.
Paddle Removal
If you want to prevent the large holes that one gets from the paddle(s)
in your machine simply waiting until the final rise of the cycle has
started, remove the dough from the pan, remove the kneading paddle(s) and
then spray the post(s) with pan spray. Shape the dough and place it bake
in the pan, seam side down and allow the machine to finish. This will give
you a loaf with very small hole(s) in the bottom.
