Idaho® Baked Potato Bing Bread

By B. David Miyares | October 4, 2017

Ingredients:

2 cups warm water (40C/105F)
2 tablespoons sugar
10-16g salt (about 2 teaspoons)
2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 – 4 cups of all purpose flour (preferably King Arthur’s brand), plus 1 cup flour extra for kneading
3 cups Idaho® potatoes, skin on, diced 1/2”X1/2”
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 slices nitrite free smoked bacon, cut into chunks and ground through coarse die of meat grinder (We use Broadbent’s Bacon from Kentucky)
3 cups of sliced green onions, sliced 1/8 inch thick
2 cups of medium diced white cheddar
½ cup of sesame oil
½ cup canola oil
6 tablespoons white sesame seeds

For Soy glaze:
1 tablespoon soy
2 tablespoon water
½ tablespoon sugar

Procedure:

  • Stir the above to dissolve and reserve

For Sour cream butter:
¼ cup sour cream
½ cup softened unsalted butter
1½ teaspoons salt

Procedure:

  1. Combine in a food processor until completely smooth.
Procedure:
  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Mix sugar, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add warm water and dissolve the mixture with a rubber spatula. Gradually mix in 3 to 4 cups of AP flour until dough comes together. Cover Bowl with plastic and allow to rise to double in size, about 1½ hours.
  • Meanwhile, toss diced potatoes with sesame oil and canola oil, salt, in and roast in oven until just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Render the bacon in a large sauté pan over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon gets golden, but not all the way crispy. Strain, reserving fat to re-crisp the bread later in the day.
  • Prepare the sliced scallions, and diced white cheddar.
  • After 1½ hour passes, release, and knead gently until smooth (using extra flour to avoid sticking, but not so much that dough becomes stiff) for about 20 turns. Portion into 6 balls, and keep covered with plastic. Roll each ball into 9 inch circle, and rub each circle with 1 teaspoon sesame oil, plus 1 teaspoon canola oil until completely covered.
  • Sprinkle evenly over the dough 1/4 cup of rendered bacon bits, ⅓ cup medium diced and roasted potatoes, 1/4 cup medium diced white cheddar, and ½ cup thinly sliced scallions on each circle.
  • Roll into a cylinder, pinching the edges and pinching the finished edge. Spiral cylinder carefully on top of itself, and gently pat down into a 6 inch circle.
  • Preheat mini cast iron pans on medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons canola oil to each pan and gently slide the bread dough in. Turn to low immediately. Brush soy glaze mixture on top with a pastry brush, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds evenly over the top. Cover pan with another pan to steam.
  • In about 8-10 minutes, when golden, flip over and put into 350° F convection oven. Check in 8 minutes to finish, or just put back until center is clean when poked through and bottom is evenly golden. Let rest on a rack.
  • Re-crisp later for service with 2 tablespoons each pan of bacon fat in cast iron pans at 400 degrees F, flipping after 3 minutes on each side, or until crispy.
  • Serve with a smear of sour cream butter.
