10-DAY FERMENTED POTATO BREAD

From the book 'Potato by James Martin'. "This was an idea we had in the restaurant and is a great recipe that came off the back of me messing around with soda bread, but it uses fermented potatoes, which alter the taste dramatically. I’ve served it with a salsa, but it is also great with hummus or a simple roasted red pepper dip."

Cooking PotMETHOD

  1. To make the fermented potatoes, place the potatoes and salt in a zip lock bag, squeeze out all the air, seal, then pop in the fridge for 10 days.

  2. To make the dough, place all the ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and knead for 5 minutes. Pop into a bowl, cover with clingfilm, then chill in the fridge for 24 hours.

  3. Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan)/425°F/gas 7.

  4. Dust a work surface with flour. Roll out the dough into 6 large oblong shapes (roughly 8 x 15cm), pop onto a floured baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until crisp and golden.

  5. To make the coriander salsa, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and season to taste.

  6. Serve the potato bread with the coriander salsa.

  7. Serve and enjoy!
