With my most recent semester ending this past weekend, it feels like things have finally slowed down around here. It was the perfect time to jump back in the kitchen and cover myself in flour!
Our recipes differ slightly, so please compare our two to use the ingredients/techniques you prefer.
2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp (or 1 pkg) yeast
1/2 Tbsp salt, 1/2 tsp salt
2 cups lukewarm water
1 small can cooked, peeled potatoes
1 1/2 Tbsp ghee, gently melted
1 1/2 Tbsp neutral flavored oil (I used olive oil)
1/4 tsp paprika, additional for top
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
salt and pepper, to taste
Whisk together the flours, yeast, and 1/2 Tbsp salt in a large bowl. Add the water and mix with a wooden spoon until everything comes together. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest at room temperature for an hour or two. (At this point the dough can be refrigerated up to 14 days for later use.)
Dust dough with flour and turn out onto a greased baking sheet, pressing into desired shape. Loosely cover the dough again and let rest an additional 40 minutes.
This was so delicious! While the ghee smelled strong, almost like Parmesan cheese, it tasted silky smooth and buttery. The bread was hearty and bold, while the filling was muted and delicious. Johnny and I both really enjoyed this one!

That's so cool Christina! I've never seen anything like that before. I love it!
I've never made anything with ghee before either!
I saw it once at my local health food store.
Um, YUM.
I love Indian.
I made a very similar aloo paratha recipe (found on another blog!) about a year ago, but without the ghee of course. It sounds like the ghee added a ton of flavor!
Woah, that looks REALLY good! I've never thought about making something like that... but wow, it sounds great! I don't know which part sounds better, the fact that it's baked (yum!), has a great filling, or the dough...
:)
That looks so good Christina! Love how you cooked outside your comfort zone too!
I love this recipe! I've never made anything like this before! I should it looks delish!
