Potato Bread with Sundried Tomato

Potato Tomato Timeline 3:50

This week I am playing with two dried ingredients: potatoes and tomatoes, as in Instant Mashed Potatoes and Sundried Tomatoes. While many will turn up their nose at potato flakes, I love them for baking. They are convenient, low-cost, easy to use and have a long shelf life. Sundried tomatoes come in two form: dry and in oil. I prefer the dry ones because the hydration phase releases wonderful flavours to the water. I use Aurora sundried tomatoes in the 85g/3 oz resealable bag. Normally I use 50g but for convenience I use 1/2 of the pack, 43g/1.5 oz.

This is a variation on my Potato Bread recipe. It uses less olive oil and more water/flour to compensate for rehydrating the tomatoes. Another variation is the use of a USA Pan Hearth Pan. USA Pan makes commercial pans and are the only pan I use without any grease or spray oil. Their no-stick is that good.

Sundried tomatoes have to be rehydrated. While this adds an hour to the timeline, it releases wonderful pungent flavours.
