For a softer loaf here’s a tip: place a shallow pan of water about 2 cups, in the bottom of the oven when you preheat it. Place loaf in the front of the oven to bake. The steam will make the loaf softer more like sandwich bread. I’m in Macomb County, wishing I was living far north from here.
Wow! I thought so. I accidently let some raw potatoes sit in water too long and it activated better than when I've tried to boil it. Boiling it seem to take a long time. So, this time I just pealed and sliced in water and in two days I see the bubbles. I said I'm going to keep this method! Thanks for confirming it works! But I'm thankful for this video as another alternative too. :)
You can leave the potato in the water and mash it up.. Making potato bread... Same steps. And pour all the water and mashed potato in the flour..., I like heavy rich bread.. It is really good.
@@nenabunena, I just leave the potato and water in the pan to cool.. , and when cool I mash the small potato chunks.. and dump the water and mashed potato.. in the flour. I do it all by hand ..no machine .
Making potato bread (the usual way) makes some of the best bread ever. I really enjoyed watching this video. It's just like making a sour dough starter.
Hello from the beautiful Manistee National Forest in Newaygo county! Thank you for showing the measurements for this. I have watched others make potato yeast, but they never give the measurements. Going to try this!
So helpful! My dough took longer to rise and I was wondering if it was just part of the process. Next step: Apple yeast water . Super fun to try and see grow. Life at your fingertips! God is so cool 😁
Just discovered your channel and I gotta say wow... some great content. This video especially because we seem to have a problem in our area (NE Ohio) where most of the yeast found in grocery stores is either low quality or past expiration. I haven't been able to make a decent homemade pizza in at least a year. Gonna give this one a try. Thanx!
I hope this helps, I've been making bread for a while, and it looks like your dough may need a bit more water at the end then let it sit for 15 mins then press all the bubbles out then Place in a sink of warm water for an hour then butter bread pan roll and pinch then let rise more then put in oven
Your video is straight forward easy to follow great video for beginners. Some video I've watched blah blah blah, talks so fast is didn't made any sense Thank you for your video.❤👍👍👍👍👍
Definitely makes sense, wonder if adding more of the yeast mixture would give an airy pores to the bread? This recipe is by far the best potato yeast I’ve watched.
Potato bread, traditional yeast bread that incorporates some leftover mashed potatoes, will develop mold more quickly than yeast bread without potatoes. Air-borne yeasts REALLY like potatoes.
Hi I want to make potato yeast to use as a garden fertilizer, cn I just follow your steps and omit the all purpose flour? And if I do that is 1tb of the yeast water equivalent to 1tb dry active yeast?
Thank you for this valuable piece of information, I love to bake, and this is very useful, because I always have to boil the water before I bake with it, or ferment vegetables. I would love to receive more of your knowledge about other food preparation techniques.
if this works, I am going to give you whatever you want 😁 Question for you!!! Can I put in partially wrapped blanket for 24 hrs because my kitchen, my house is always cold???? Does it have to have some sort of light for ferment because blanket might not have that. Please let me know.
Sweet dough is another good way to keep the flavour a couple of walnut sized bits of the dough you make in the jar will develop your unique taste . Difference in artisan and plant bread no guff just what we put 8n I don't want it to last for a week wanna eat it all a d make more
I have had great success using potato flakes, especially in making cinnamon rolls,or pizza dough. It comes out fluffy and moist. I just add the flakes into the flour, and proceed from there.
Essentially yeast need sugar. However there’s a few types of sugar. Sucrose, fructose, lactose etc. Yeasts will eat anything that will ferment. The more refined the easier for yeast to eat but you can use sweet fruit, dried fruits, honey, refined sugar etc with slightly different results from each. I’ve done natural capture with raisins, honey and refined sucrose. Now I’ll have to try potato LOL.
Hi Paul, I've definitely had expired yeast not work. I've even had yeast still within the "use by date" not work. It's why nowadays I always proof my yeast before using it, even if it's "instant" yeast that doesn't need to be proofed. By proofing it first, I can see whether or not it gets foamy and frothy before wasting a whole loaf and a bunch of work.
I just used 6 year old dead yeast last night n made a great loaf. I was checking proof in a jar with warm water n sugar n forgot it overnight. In morning it was finally frothy so I took a chance n it worked out great.
You can always use regular flour, but it generally won't rise as much, or get as fluffy. Alternatively, you can buy a small bag of something called vital wheat gluten, and add that to regular flour (which is basically how they make bread flour).
Do you also have a gardening channel? Or your brother maybe? You look and sound just like another person on you tube, his channel is Learn Organic Gardening by Grow Your Greens
Ha, I guess I see a tiny bit of resemblance. No, I don't happen to be related to or know him. I wish I did though, because I'd probably be a much better gardener if I did!
Thank you for your video. The only thing I would suggest is for you to stop looking at the ceiling but to look at the camera all the time. This will make your videos more interesting to watch.
Thanks for the suggestion. Though, it's certainly involuntary and it's probably the same way I look when I'm talking to somebody in person. On the other hand, this video is over 2 years old, so maybe it's improved in the time since.

My mother used to bake with potato yeast, she never boiled it, raw grated potato works as well
how did she do

@CFL641 thanks, I asked ai and to let the water ferment for 2-5 days
if you do not have filtered water - you can let the tap water stand in a measuring cup for several hours and the chlorine will evaporate.

Hello from the beautiful Manistee National Forest in Newaygo county! Thank you for showing the measurements for this. I have watched others make potato yeast, but they never give the measurements. Going to try this!
Any fruit with a white hazy coatng can work as a source of yeast. Cane berries, grapes, plums, blueberries all work ok.
Is the process the same? Let it steep in water then drain and add flour and sugar?
Been making potatoes yeast for years. It works well .
How do you make your potato yeast?
I like this. We're bound to run out of yeast at some point. Cheers fella. Greetings from England
If you can't find yeast ,you can use dried ground hops too,,,,great job
Yeast was non existent during the pandemic this is excellent advice for avoiding yet another shortage 👍
That's really cool. Good to know for sure "just incase"
Just watched another video on the same thing, this one looks a lot easier!
Simple to follow clear and concise recipe to start yeast at home 👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹
So helpful! My dough took longer to rise and I was wondering if it was just part of the process. Next step: Apple yeast water . Super fun to try and see grow. Life at your fingertips! God is so cool 😁
Did you try this with apple water? If so, how did it go? Neat idea!
This knowledge could come in handy if, once again, yeast is difficult to find in stores. Thanks Great Lakes. Always learn something from your videos!
Thanks Drummer. I hope all is well with you.
@@GreatLakesPrepping All is well in respect to how much the world allows things to be well these days. And You? How are things?
@@DRUMMER-j-u2x Yea, doing alright. Doing the best I can, like everyone I suppose.
Thanks, I bought some yeast in the store and didn't use it. I'm sure it is expired.. This is a great way to get yeast without running to the store.
I keep some in freezer. I then let it grow like you do from scratch.
The bread looks great!

It is very helpful as a lot of time that I buy packet yeast it is out of date by the time I use it and I have to throw it away thanks 😊
Wow 😮 thank you for the recipe 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi I just found your video now And I like it watching from Maco Davao de Oro Philippines
Thanks so much. Will try. 🙏
We do this in South Africa. It was a Dutch concept.
Your video is straight forward easy to follow great video for beginners. Some video I've watched blah blah blah, talks so fast is didn't made any sense Thank you for your video.❤👍👍👍👍👍

I was searching for this comment.
Tanks very much for sarin this. Much appreciated. I wonder if you use more yeast and let it rise longer if it will be fluffier product.
Thanks, quite informative.
Awesome, thanks so much 👍❤🍞
7:00 anyway to preserve this to use at a later date?
Cool, I can mash and eat the potato after straining. No waste…
Thank you for your great tutorial. Do you also have any suggestions for gluten-free flours?
I enjoyed your video and look forward to watching more. I too am from Michigan, Gladwin County aka God's country. 😊. I learned of your site from AP,
Thank you Kim, I appreciate it.

Pretty nifty!! 😎👍🏻 I wonder if sweet potatoes would work.
Why not anything that's natural do the boil thing as it kills off any baddies want bread not cider
Ty will try this . I thought bread looked good
You can usec2 or 3 small tables. Their is a off set apposed to tighten the lid and tight the lid so no mold .
???
I would like to understand what you are saying, but your comment is a bit confusing. Maybe a typo perhaps?
I am going to try this!
Always make sure to get ALL green off of any potato before using. Keep potatoes in the dark when storing.
Many people are unaware that the green part of the potato is actually poisonous and can make you fairly sick.
Aquarium keepers know that chlorinated water can be dechlorinated by letting it stand 24 hours in an open container.
Thank you for this valuable piece of information, I love to bake, and this is very useful, because I always have to boil the water before I bake with it, or ferment vegetables. I would love to receive more of your knowledge about other food preparation techniques.
I do this all the time, even for watering my house plants.
Grapes work for yeast too
if this works, I am going to give you whatever you want 😁
Question for you!!! Can I put in partially wrapped blanket for 24 hrs because my kitchen, my house is always cold???? Does it have to have some sort of light for ferment because blanket might not have that. Please let me know.
How long can you let it sit for? Can you let it sit for a week?
Keep feeding it should be play if it smells off not yeasty then it has died from a Baker in the UK

Beautiful
It looks so appetizing and already drooling💚💚I could almost smell it!️💚💚Thanks for sharing💚💚stay connected💚💚
Can I double the amount in order to make more bread and use up all the yeast ?
Yes.
Can I let mine sit for a week? Is that ok?
I wonder if you can use instant potatoes
thanks!
❤thank you
Would this work with potato flakes if you don’t have a potato?
I have had great success using potato flakes, especially in making cinnamon rolls,or pizza dough. It comes out fluffy and moist. I just add the flakes into the flour, and proceed from there.
Try a dry towel. The damp one cools the dough too much.
Thanks for sharing, gluten-free flour can be used for those who are sensitive to regular flour. Thank you for your answer.
If you can't get ahold of white sugar, can you use raw sugar?
I don't see why not
Essentially yeast need sugar. However there’s a few types of sugar. Sucrose, fructose, lactose etc. Yeasts will eat anything that will ferment. The more refined the easier for yeast to eat but you can use sweet fruit, dried fruits, honey, refined sugar etc with slightly different results from each.

Have you ever tested if outdated yeast is really useless? I'l like to know.
Hi Paul, I've definitely had expired yeast not work. I've even had yeast still within the "use by date" not work.

what if you dont have special Bread Flour ?
You can always use regular flour, but it generally won't rise as much, or get as fluffy. Alternatively, you can buy a small bag of something called vital wheat gluten, and add that to regular flour (which is basically how they make bread flour).
Could you have let it rise longer? Like all day maybe?
So really, this is just a sourdough starter, but made with potato starch water, rather than plain water?
Should not need to keep adding sugar, the gluten in the flour will feed the yeast. We only feed sourdough with just flour.

It becomes sourdough in time
What does your hat say
It says Great Lakes Prepping
Rewana bread
It is safe to eat something that’s been sitting out for a day??? Lol I don’t want to end up with food poisoning.
well the hat was interesting ... briefly.
A lot of sugar
Sun must be really bad in that kitchen
How do you mean?
Too much talks.
