The good homemade soft potato bread shaped like a loaf comes from a necessity. That of not being able to go out shopping and so they say ‘Necessity sharpens the mind.’ I prefer to buy it ready-made also because I live in Puglia and our bread is renowned, but, again, I ventured into this because the contagious coronavirus, from which it is better to stay away by protecting yourself and staying at home in quarantine, forced me to do so. My advice is to make it at home too and then look at the beautiful result and for now, imagine the taste. The whole family will be grateful.

Boil the potatoes in a pot with water until the fork pierces them, about seventeen/twenty minutes.
Then mash them on a plate using a fork.
Pour the flour on the work surface and add salt.
Shape into a well and add the mashed potatoes into the center.
Gradually pour in the warm water in which the brewer’s yeast has been dissolved and knead by hand.
Knead for about fifteen minutes. Place the dough inside the Tupperware container for pizza and let rise for at least two hours.
Divide the dough into two parts. Then shape into loaves by stretching the dough and make cuts on top.
Let rise again for about thirty minutes and finally bake in a preheated oven at 482°F for about thirty minutes.
Let the bread cool before slicing. Soft homemade potato bread is also great for breakfast with jam and Nutella.
