Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of unpeeled potatoes evenly chopped
  • 1 tsp dried fast-action yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 1 tsp salt Himalayan or Sea Salt
  • cups + 2 tbsp strong white flour plus extra for kneading
  • 1 tsp flaxseeds or sesame seeds for toppings Optional

Instructions

  • 2 cups of chopped potatoes place in your pressure cooker cover with cold water and set it for 1 minute to pressurise. Or you can just boil it in a pan.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander and let it sit for a couple of minutes until the liquid has been drained fully. Reserve the liquid.
  • Prepare a large bowl and add yeast, sugar and 5 tbsp of liquid from the previous step. Mix everything together and leave for 10 minutes to settle. You should see tiny bubbles rising up.
  • In a separate bowl, mash the potatoes with the 2 tbsp of ground flax seeds and salt until the mixture is smooth and consistent, then add the yeast mixture.
  • Keep mixing the potatoes and the yeast mixture, simultaneously adding gradually 1¾ cups + 2 tbsp of flour. Keep stirring until all the flour has been added. When the flour becomes difficult to stir, put it on a surface and knead it well until it turns into a dough. (Do not add any liquid).
  • Keep kneading the dough for 8-10 minutes until it’s soft and smooth texture. Cover the dough with the towel or put in a warm place for 45 - 50 minutes for rising and soft to touch.
  • Give it a good toss, make a ball and put it on the baking sheet carefully placing into the baking tray and leave in a warm place for a further 30 minutes.
  • Pierce the surface of the bread and sprinkle the top with flaxseeds.
  • Bake the loaf in the air-fryer at 180C for 35 minutes until well risen and crusty, golden on top. Then leave it on a wire rack to cool down.
