Bread Recipes

Sometimes, this recipe is called "Irish" Freckle Bread. The cute name alone made me want to try it.  Serve on St. Patrick's Day or any time of the year.

     Enjoy,

Freckle Bread

You'll need:

  • 1/2 cup lukewarm potato water (milk may be substituted if using instant mashed potatoes)

  • 1 egg at room temperature

  • 1/2 cup mashed potatoes (scratch mashed potatoes yield the best flavor, but instant mashed potatoes may be used)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine

  • 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour (substitute 1/2 cup whole wheat flour if you like)

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast (rapid rise may be used)

  • 2/3 cup raisins for freckles

Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a big bowl. 

Melt the butter and warm the potato water.  Cool the liquids slightly so they are warm to the touch - NOT hot.  Slowly add them to the flour mixture and mix well. 

Add beaten egg, potatoes and the remainder of the flour to make a soft dough.

Knead for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface.  Let the dough rest and breath for another 10 minutes, covering it loosely with a tea towel.

Note: You can knead this recipe in a bread machine, but for best volume, bake in the oven.  

Add the raisins by kneading them into the dough. 

Divide the dough into two portions, rolling each portion into an 8 inch length.  Place both of your long rolls, side by side into an 8 1/2" x 4 1/4" greased (or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) bread pan.   

Again, cover with a tea towel and let the bread rise for a good hour in a warm place until it's doubled in size. 

Bake in a preheated oven at 350° F for about 30-35 minutes until the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Cool on wire rack. 

This recipe may be easily doubled.
