This bread without kneading and are a blender will make you fall in love like no other before. the cocotte helps but is not essential You can bake it in a round cake mold or in a saucepan suitable for oven.
To make this bread you will only have to take into account:
For the crust to be crispy, it is important to have water in the oven when putting it in. Moisture will make a crusty layer left. If you are afraid to drop the water inside,. You can put two or three ice cubes.
The cocotte and its lid make the bread cook inside without burning on the outside. If you do not have you can use a saucepan suitable for oven with lid, or a cake mold but placing on top a sheet of double aluminum foil so that the crust does not burn and acts as an oven.
It is a very easy bread and I am sure you will fall in love.

Ingredients
- 300 g potatoes
- 400 ml warm water
- 10 g dry yeast
- 550 g strength flour*
- 2 teaspoons salt
- a few sprigs of Rosemary
Directions
Wash the potatoes well with skin and cook (boiled or in the micro).
In a bowl, put the flour, salt, yeast, mashed potatoes and chopped fresh rosemary. Mix and add the slightly warm water.
Mix with a wooden spoon, cover and let rise for 2 and a half hours.
When the dough has risen, we pass it to the work surface sprinkled with flour. We give it a flat and somewhat oval shape. And we fold on itself folding from the right to the center and the same on the left. From bottom to center and from top to center. We turn so that the folds are down and form an oval ball with our hands simply pushing it gently from side to side with the palm of the hand open.
Put in a banneton (a basket to rest the bread) and sprinkle with flour and let stand 20 minutes
If you don't have banneton, you can put a cotton rag in a large bowl. Sprinkle with a little flour and let the bread rise for another 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, we preheat the oven to 220 degrees C with a saucepan inside (I use an iron one that are best for baking bread). After this time, put the bread dough on a baking paper. Take out the saucepan and put the bread inside. Cover and bake 25 minutes.
After this time, we lower the temperature to 200 degrees, remove the lid. Put a container with 200 ml of water at the bottom of the oven and let bake for 30 more minutes. When introducing the saucepan back into the oven and before closing the oven door, we will throw a glass of water at the bottom. Yes, we throw away the water. This will create a lot of steam and cause the bread to come out with a very crispy crust.
Remove from oven and let cool before cutting. It is important to remove it from the saucepan and remove the paper and let it cool on a rack. This way it will stay crispy
Tips and Tricks

- Difficulty: easy

- Servings: one kilo loaf of bread
Good morning!! What is that flour of strength? Can I get it in bakery?
Hi Andrea,
Hello, I buy it online at El Amasadero, an online bakery in Malaga but any bakery can surely sell you extra strength flour as soon as they bake breads and brioches.
A hug and thanks for writing.
Good day, please don't you write the 100 grams of whole wheat flour that you write on Instagram, that ingredient doesn't go or is it optional? Thank you for your generosity, greetings from Colombia
Hello
Forgive me, Esperanza, but I think you're wrong.
There is no whole wheat flour in this recipe either here or on Instagram. The bread that has whole wheat flour is the rustic bread that is this

A hug and happy day,
I'm a girl from Argentina:
Wonderful.
Thank you very much Nina, I'm so glad
Seems good and rich I'll try to do it
Well, you'll tell me. Thank you
Hello. The truth is that I found it strange with mashed potatoes but I would like to do it, only that I don't live in Malaga or even in Spain, do you think that if my flour is not extra strength if not a common one will come out as good as yours? Thank you. I like your cooking is interesting.
Hi Paqui, it will be very tasty with normal flour for sure, but strong flour is bakery flour so I'm sure there is where you live.
A hug and happy day,
That bread looks beautiful and its taste should be spectacular.
I am celiac and I would like to know if I can replace wheat flour with some gluten-free mixture. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Hi Cecilia, Thank you very much forgive I have tried to do it with gluten-free flour so I can not help you. Gluten-free doughs work differently and I do not know if these ingredients would work for you. I am sorry. A hug

Hello, I would like to ask you a question, is it possible to add a tablespoon of lemon juice? I once tried a bread with rosemary and lemon and I loved it.
Hi Angela, I've never made lemon bread so I don't know how it will turn out but it should come out just as well. A hug and thanks for writing
