Stuffed bread with potato, also known as potato stuffed bread or aloo bread, is a delicious and comforting dish. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the potato filling:
- 3 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled, and mashed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For topping (optional):
- Sesame seeds
- Nigella seeds (kalonji)
- Chopped fresh coriander leaves
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the flour mixture, and knead until you have a smooth and elastic dough. You may need to adjust the amount of water or flour to achieve the right consistency.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Meanwhile, prepare the potato filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, finely chopped onion, green chilies, cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric powder, salt, chopped fresh coriander leaves, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions, depending on how large you want your stuffed bread to be.
- Take one portion of the dough and roll it out into a circle or oval shape on a floured surface.
- Place a generous amount of the potato filling in the center of the rolled-out dough.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to enclose it completely, pinching the seams together to seal.
- Place the stuffed bread on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat the process with the remaining portions of dough and potato filling.
- Optional: Brush the tops of the stuffed bread with a little water or milk, and sprinkle sesame seeds, nigella seeds, and chopped fresh coriander leaves over the top for added flavor and decoration.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let the stuffed bread cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the potato stuffed bread warm as a delicious snack or side dish.
