How to Make Potato And Saffron Bread

  1. Combine warm water (105-115°F) and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, mash cooked potatoes (1 cup, about 2 medium).
  3. Add mashed potatoes, saffron threads (1/4 teaspoon), sugar (2 tablespoons), salt (1 teaspoon), and olive oil (2 tablespoons) to the yeast mixture.
  4. Gradually add flour (3 1/2 cups), mixing until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  8. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
