Vegan Spelt Potato Bread in Flower Pots

Baking in clay flower pots is an unique way to bake bread.  I highly recommend using this technique the next time you go on a picnic or if you are planning a garden party.  I suggest leaving the finished bread in the clay pots for your guests to see.  They will be surprised to see that you baked bread in clay garden pots.

Ingredients:

1 cup warm water

2 1/4 teaspoons yeast

2 cups organic spelt flour (I recommend One Degree brand)

1 cup organic mashed potatoes 

1 tablespoon organic fresh chives, minced

1 teaspoon organic chive salt

1 tablespoon organic extra virgin olive oil

Method:

In the bowl of your stand mixer, add water and yeast.  Let sit for 5 minutes.

Add flour and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes.  Continuing on medium speed add potatos, chives, and salt.  Knead dough for another 3 minutes.

Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 1 hour.

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees

Oil the bottom and sides of the clay pots.

Divide the dough evenly among the clay pots.

Bake for 20 minutes.
