Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pound loaf
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dark honey
  • 2 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1/3 cup instant potato flakes
  • 1 tablespoon gluten
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons raid rise yeast (or 2 1/4 t. bread machine yeast)

Method

  • Place all the ingredients in the pan according to the order in the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Set crust on medium and program for the Basic cycle; press Start.
  • The dough ball will be nicely formed and slightly sticky but stiff at the same time when tested.
  • It should feel a bit sticky, so take care not to add any more than an extra tablespoon of flour.
  • The potato flakes will soak up the extra moisture during the rises and will become smooth during the risings.
  • When the baking cycle ends, immediately remove the bread from the pan and place it on a rack.
  • Let cool to room temperature before slicing.
