Ingredients
For the potato bread:
500 g floury potatoes
21 g yeast
50 ml lukewarm water
1 tsp sugar
250 g flour
2 tsp salt
7 tbsp olive oil
Flour for the work surface
Coriander and nutmeg
Sesame seeds, black caraway seeds
Fleur de Sel
For the beetroot hummus:
240 g cooked chickpeas
50 g uncooked beetroot
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste, Middle Eastern stores)
olive oil
0.5 tsp ground cumin
Lemon juice and grated lemon peel
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut into medium-sized cubes. Cook for 20 minutes in the oven (opens in a new window) at the steam setting and press through a potato ricer.
Step 2
In a cup, stir together yeast, water, and sugar and let stand for 5 minutes.
Combine potatoes, flour, yeast starter, salt, 2 tablespoons oil, and about 500 ml water, then process into a dough. Let rise for 30 minutes using dough proving stage 1.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 230°C bread baking mode. Oil the baking sheet. With a little flour on a baking sheet, roll out the dough into a square of about 33 x 33 cm.
Step 4
Make depressions in the dough with your fingers. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with coriander, nutmeg, sesame seeds, black caraway seeds, and Fleur de Sel.
Step 5
Bake on shelf level 2 at 230°C bread baking mode, low steam intensity, for 10 minutes. Open the oven door to release the steam, then bake for another 15 to 20 minutes without added steam until golden.
Step 6
Combine all of the hummus the ingredients, including the olive oil, in a food processor and process, adding just enough water to form a soft purée. Season to taste with 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice, a little grated lemon peel, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with herb leaves and serve with Potato Bread.
