Description

This WW1 potato bread recipe is a simple and delicious way to make bread using potatoes. It was a popular recipe during WW1 when food was scarce and people needed to make do with what they had.

Ingredients

  • 2 large potatoes
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Notes

Potato bread dough can be sticky and difficult to work with, but don't be tempted to add too much flour. This can make the bread dry and tough. Instead, use a light dusting of flour on your hands and work surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
