Sourdough Oatmeal Potato Bread

Donna M.'s Note:

I created this combination and was very pleased with the results.

• Total Time: 4 hrs 30 mins
• Prep Time: 4 hrs
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 loaf

• 1 ¼ cups proofed sourdough starter
• 1 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons margarine
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 3 ½ cups bread flour
• 1⁄3; cup oatmeal
• ¼ cup potato flakes

Directions:

1. Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order that they are listed.
2. Select dough cycle and press start.
3. Turn dough out on lightly floured surface and shape into desired loaf.
4. Place in greased loaf pan and let rise, covered, until 1 to 2 inches above edges of pan.
5. Be patient, this can take several hours, depending upon how active your sourdough culture is.
6. Uncover and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes, or until done.
7. Immediately turn out of pan and cool on wire rack.
8. Brush top crust with butter for a soft crust, if desired.
9. NOTE: You can use part whole wheat flour (up to 1 1/2 cups) in place of all white flour.
10. I recently made this and used only 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour.
11. It made a very nice, light wheat bread.

Wonderrful loaf. I used the dough cycle on my bread machine & formed the loaf to bake in a pan in the oven. It was half gone before it was even cool enough to cut properly. I may add some chopped toasted hazelnuts or pecans next time I make it. Thanks Donna!

Thanks so much Donna for a great recipe. Made four mini loaves last week . . . that way I can fit a couple in my little freezer for later use!

This was very good bread, I doubled the recipe and it worked fine. It was pretty cold in my house the day I made it so it took about 5 hrs. to rise but it was well worth the wait. Thanks for this recipe, Dan
