Wow, great looking bread. Loving the herbs on top!

Your loaf is lovely…I can’t wait to read about how all the other DB’s did with this challenge.
I’m going to have to give this recipe a try very soon ! It looks delicious.

This looks like a really nice, homey bread. I definitely will have to give it a try.

Hey woman, it ok to feel blah once in a while and we would understand…well, ok we would kick your butt but we would understand!! I am glad you went for it because you have produced another yummy loaf. There is nothing more comforting than that fresh smell once the bread is out of the oven! I hear you about no “in-process” pics…I gave up once I started kneading!!
Thanks for being you my Ivonne!

Your bread looks wonderful. Rosemary goes so well with potatoes, I bet it tasted great.

Love the herb topped loaves. Lovely!

Ivonne, honey ~ Is it the potato that makes the bread so fluffy? I love the burnished tops; bread crust is always so inviting to my eyes.

I also have Alford and Duguid’s “Home Baking”. I haven’t cooked from it yet. I bought it at a time when I thought I’d have enough energy for bread baking every weekend. That never happened, but after picking up and enjoying a loaf of ciabatta a few weekends ago, I’m thinking about it again. I might just pick one recipe and work with it a few times as I’m such an inexperienced bread baker.

Your posts are always so inspirational. I love coming here…

Even I will admit that I was ready for savory!
Beautiful loaf.

Ohlala ! Mais c’est très joli ! How wonderful your bread looks !

I longed for savoury too but I think you have forgotten about the bagels we made. Great loaf!

An excellent loaf Ivonne. I bet it was tasty. I hope you felt renewed after the baking.

beautiful! i’m sure all the DBers are glad you didn’t skip the challenge!

great looking bread Ivonne - how airy you managed to get it!

I’ve had to miss this month’s challenge, unfortunately - not sure if it’ll count if I post the challenge later this week (I might have a chance to make it tomorrow). But your bread looks wonderful - such a soft and inviting texture!!

So nice to see the Daring Bakers take on a savory this month. Your bread looks delicious — and I still have some rosemary in my garden, so perhaps worth a try — though I am not at all a daring baker!

Your loaf looks really good! A marvelous bread with a wonderful crust!

Cheers,

Rosa

Ivonne, as usual a fantastic job! your November sounds pretty much like mine …!! Glad you did it thought and the loaves look like something out of a bakery!

I love rosemary with bread…great job Ivonne!

I am not one for snapping shots in between by cooking/baking process. It gets far too hectic and more often then none I am left with some disaster in the kitchen. Ivonne your loaves look awesome and so pretty perfect.

Ivonne, your loaves look perfect…I too was hoping for a savoury challenge this month

Your loaf looks great Ivonne! I am glad you decided to do it. Baking does make one feel better, doesn’t it? Good job!

your bread looks great ivonne, and i’m pleased that making it soothed your soul.

Beautiful bread, cream puff

November is such a busy month. And it gets worse before it gets better with Xmas. You bread looks lovely. I agree it was divine slathered in butter!

Beautiful! One of these days I’ll have to join in the Daring Bakers fun…

Your loaf looks lovely Ivonne! And your photos are as fantastic as they always are

Well Ivonne- they’re beautiful as always and I’m glad you pushed through with such a busy month- I can relate
xoxo

Your loaf looks lovely and with such a perfect crumb. Baking is a pretty good stress-reliever, don’t you think?

Such a fun recipe, no? I’m so glad I participated in this one and I love seeing all the very different versions everyone has churned out.

I’m happy to break bread with you!

I can almost smell the freshly baked bread slathered in butter from your photos.

simplicity and wholesomeness, indeed. You said it so well.

Rosemary. Where’s your imagination woman!

Amazing work as usual, Ivonne (mmm rosemary) and I´m glad you were able to make it, because yes, I agree, Lis would have probably hunt you down! haha

I’m so glad you decided to complete the challenge!! Somehow, the challenge would feel incomplete without you! Your loaf is gorgeous.

I love baking bread as therapy. Kneading the dough and sniffing the aroma as it bakes is so relaxing for me. I had trouble documenting the process this time, too, and like you I think it’s because the dough really needed my full attention.

Your loaves look so lovely and homey.

I agree with you that taking pictures during the process was quite difficult this time. Your bread looks gorgeous !

Beautiful crust on your loaves. Very lovely.

Fantabulous Ivonne! I love how fresh the rosemary looks!

Gosh Ivonne is it ok to say, it just proves that even the most accomplished among us can be reaching even when we do something that on another day would seem simple to us. Helen’s right, we would understand but thanks so much for lovely loaves!!
And thanks so much for creating and nurturing this incredible group!

Ivonne, as usual your challenge looks spectacular and the pictures show off your always lovely creations wonderfully. Thanks so much for helping “birth” this wonderful group of online bakers. Every month, it is to this group I turn to for pure unadulterated joy and support.

hi lovely, I always look forward to reading your entry and seeing the wonderful photos you will post - once again I am not disapointed Looks heavenly! I was tempted to use rosemary, it gives such a nice perfume, will save this for next time.

your loaf looks wonderful!!

Your loaf does indeed look like perfection and is a very fitting one year anniversary celebration. Glad you did manage to stick it through and make the bread, since you are always a bit of inspiration to us all!

That is one gorgeous loaf - nicely browned, almost burnished, at the top… very inviting.

Julius from Occasional Baker

So pretty, Ivonne!

Your bread looks amazing and I’m a little upset with myself that I never got around tothtis challenge. I guess I just ran out of month, although you still made enough time. Shame on me. And I love bread too. Oh well, I’ll just have to live vicariously through 300 odd other DB’ers. I love how you just kept it simple. Well done

I love the browned top of your loaf… looks really delicious!!

The browning on this is so beautiful. Love the unbaked picture!

Those look so very tasty!! I am loving checking everyones stuff out, soo many to look at hehe.

Sometimes simple is best. Your creations look simply delicious! Hope this holiday season brings you nothing but joy!

Looks lovely, Ivonne!

Great job on your potato bread!

Natalie @ Gluten A Go Go

Great looking bread!

I’d love a sandwich made with your bread…it looks delicious. This bread really did not lend itself to step by step photos, especially once the kneading began…it was that sticky. The photos you did take are lovely. Hope that December will be calmer for you. It was nice to break bread together this month.

Now I know why you are the one to immulate.
Great looking tpb.

Im glad you participated this month. As always your food look wonderful. And great photos to boot!

Your potato bread looks awesome! I always look forward to your posts because they are all so yummy. Glad you got to work on the challenge this month! =)

Yum! Your loaf looks delicious. I think the traditional rosemary’n'potato combination is so awesome - i’m going to have to try that next time

lovely loaf! simple, but absolutely breathtaking. your posts are always so inspiring, ivonne, and i so look forward to each new one. always happy to break bread with you!

Looks great Ivonne and I am so glad you rallied and did the challenge! Your bread looks wonderful!

The loaf looks awesome…inpressive as always

love the rustic look of the loaf

LOVE IT! The rosemary was such a good idea for the loaf.

I’m really glad you made the time to do this. I hope these loaves did leave you feeling renewed — they’re an example of what bread should be.

I was swamped this month too, but like you I thought about what this group meant and all that…I can’t miss this challenge. After I made the bread , I felt so good and the time and effort was totally worth it. Gorgeous loaf!

Potato bread is a good choice for the DB’s. Next month when I get my information about the web site, etc I will be up for the challenge!!! Can’t wait!!!! Excellent loaves!!!

Wow.. that is just BEAUTIFUL looking bread… *steals a piece and starts munching on it* yuuuuum!!! ^_^

Wow! Your bread loaf is beautiful. The slices look so light and airy and mmmmmmm!!! So glad you did the challenge. Where would we be without you and Lis?!? Thanks for being our guiding light

Beautiful and professional looking. Glad you’re normal and considered for a short time not doing it. What pressure you must feel now there are about 400 DB’s.

Your bread looks wonderful Ivonne!

I was so exhausted from Thanksgiving that I thought about missing my first challenge too. I don’t think Lis would’ve kicked my a$$ for missing one, but just like you, I really wanted to support Tanna.

that plant got owned

Ivonne, your take on this month’s DB challenge is simply phenomenal - and how great that you got your “secret wish” to bake something savory this time, instead of sweet!! Kudos to you for baking such beautiful potato bread loaves.

This looks wonderful. We just had a potato party, so you think I’d have eaten my fill of potatoes. But this one calls to me. I’d like to try to adapt it to gluten-free….

your bread looks beautiful! What a lovely, airy crumb–just the way I like it. And I’m glad you were able to achieve baking Zen with this one. I often ditch photographing the process so I can just enjoy the making, too. Your end photos are delicious enough!

Such a beautiful loaf. I forgot to brush it with butter. It gives yours such a wonderful crust.

Ivonne, I love the way the browned rosemary looks on the top of your bread. I’ll bet the flavor was fantasic.

Your loves turned out beautifully! I’m really glad we had a savory challenge, it was a nice break.

I totally understand tiring of snapping photos along the way. Sometimes I just don’t have the energy, either. How nice that you took time to relax during the process. I love rosemary, and to me, it’s the perfect touch for this bread. Very nice!

Lovely product, as always, & good for you to enjoy the moment. There’s nothing quite like warm buttered bread fresh from the oven. When I bake bread, The Husband will often eat as much as half a loaf in one sitting!

Beautiful bread ! Rosemary really went well with this bread! This was a fun challenge!

Your loaves are beautiful! I had a really great time with this challenge, and I’m looking forward next month!

Beautiful bread indeed! And rosemary really adds to it - great choice!
Unfortunately, my soul is NOT of a baker - not sure I’ll ever dare to give it a try.

I’m glad you found time to make this fabulous bread! I can’t wait to see what you and Lis are up to for next month…

It is, indeed, a lovely loaf.
My mother always saved the water from boiling potatoes to use in her bread…

Oh Ivonne your loaf looks great! And the pics make it mouthwatering!

Ivonne you bread looks lovely!

I’m so glad you took part in this challenge. It would be very sad not to have you take part. And what beautiful pictures. I can practically smell the bread baking.

It remains an honor and a privilege to break bread with you Ivonne. I’m glad you found a way to make this month’s challenge work for you!

Wow, Ivonne, your bread looks incredible! The crumb is simply stellar and the crust is amazing. Great job!

I have a bunch of this in rolls and one loaf on their 2nd rise.
I plan on a brush of butter w/ the required herbs right before I pop ‘em in the oven.
So far, so good. And yep, this sure was a sticky dough! But, what fun

Your bread looks delicious Ivonne!!

Lovely bread, just lovely.
However, I have to point out that this is our second non-dessert challenge as we made savory bagels in June.

The crust on your loaves looks perfect.

beautiful. the golden crust looks great.
