Chef Brad Kent changes up the classic bialys dough by incorporating riced potatoes, potato cooking water and turmeric.
Ingredients:
Bialy Dough
¾ cup potato cooking water
1 small Idaho® potato, cooked, riced
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3½ cups whole wheat flour, high gluten
1½ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 teaspoons granulated sugar
1⅛ teaspoons ground turmeric
2¼ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1¾ teaspoons salt
Mashed Idaho® Potato Filling
2 small Idaho® russet potatoes, peeled, cubed, cooked
4 roasted garlic cloves, julienned
½ teaspoon basil chiffonade
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
⅞ teaspoon salt
2½ teaspoons Calabrian chilies in oil, sliced into rings
2½ teaspoons Parmesan cheese brunoise
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Tomato Chutney
1½ cups heirloom cherry tomatoes, quartered
3 teaspoons fresh ginger, chopped
½ teaspoon basil chiffonade
½ teaspoon mustard seeds (black or yellow), toasted
¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
½ teaspoon Serrano chile, sliced
Instructions:
For the Bialy Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooking water, riced potatoes, egg, and butter.
Attach the dough hook and add the flour, yeast, sugar, and turmeric.
Mix on low speed for 2 minutes.
Turn off the mixer, scrape down the sides.
Add the oil and salt.
Mix on low speed for an additional 8 minutes.
Remove dough from mixer and place in a covered container to bench proof at about 70°F for 2 hours, or until dough approximately doubles in size.
For the Mashed Idaho® Potato Filling
Rice the potatoes into a bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients and gently mix to incorporate.
Store refrigerated until ready to assemble the bialys.
For the Tomato Chutney
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and gently stir to incorporate.
Store refrigerated until serving.
Assemble
Once the dough has doubled, deflate it and divide it into 12-14 portions.
Proof the 12-14 portions until doubled in size.
On a floured surface, deflate each dough ball's center and gently pull on the sides like shaping a pizza with a ½˝ perimeter crust.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center of each dough disc and press out the mashed potatoes to the crust's edges (leaving the ½˝ perimeter).
Bake
Bake on a pizza stone in a 500°F oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the crust has risen all around and is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve with the tomato chutney.
