Loaded Potato Stuffed Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Cook potatoes, bacon and onions in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 15 to 18 min. or until potatoes are tender and bacon is crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese.
• Unroll pizza dough onto cutting board; press into 15x11-inch rectangle. Top with potato mixture, leaving 1/4-inch-wide border around all sides. Sprinkle with cheddar. Starting at one long end, roll up dough; press ends and seams together to seal.
• Wrap dough, seam side down, into coil on center of rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray, tucking end under coil to secure.
• Bake 15 to 18 min. or until top and bottom of bread are golden brown. Cut into wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
• Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
• Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
• When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
• Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
• Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.

Steps:

• Stuffing: Boil the potatoes in their jackets until very soft. Peel and mash them thoroughly. Add the remaining stuffing ingredients. Mix well and set aside. This filling can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for a day. There is no need to warm the stuffing before filling the bread.
• To prepare the bread: Combine flours with salt in a bowl. Reserve about 1 teaspoon of shortening, and rub the remainder into the flour, with your finger tips until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add most of the water to form a mass. Slowly add more water tablespoons at a time until dough forms. Brush the work surface and your hands with the reserved teaspoon of fat. Place the dough on the greased surface, and knead for 10 to 15 minutes. This will be a very soft and pliable dough. Put back in bowl and cover with a moist towel or a sheet of plastic wrap and let it rest, preferably in a warm place, for at least 1/2 hour.
• Divide the bread dough and the filling into 12 equal portions. Take one piece dough and flatten it into a 4-inch round pillow with your hands. Depress the center slightly and place a portion of the filling into the depression. Bring the sides of the dough over the filling and enclose it completely. Press lightly but firmly to flatten it into a pillow, either between your hands or the work board. With your fingers, pinch the edges slightly, so that the filling is in the center and not near the edge where it could break through the dough. Cover with plastic wrap or a moist towel to prevent drying.
• Pick up each pattie and dust with flour. Firmly pat the pattie to make filling adhere to dough. Roll out to a 6-inch circle dusting with flour as you go, to prevent sticking. Cover with plastic wrap or moist towel.
• Heat the griddle or frying pan cook each bread for 2 minutes or until brown spots begin to appear. Flip the bread over and cook for 30 seconds. Brush lightly but thoroughly with melted shortening or oil and cook on original side for 30 seconds. Brush other side and flip again. Keep warm in a covered dish or tightly wrapped with foil. Note: They can also be made several hours ahead and reheated in a 300 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Sift the flour with the salt, and knead into a soft dough by adding the yogurt, butter, and water.
• Cover with a moist cloth and let rise for 1/2 an hour.
• Meanwhile, combine ingredients for the potato filling in a bowl and refrigerate until needed.
• Knead the dough again, and divide into 8 equal parts, rolling them into small balls. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a round disc approximately 3 inches in diameter.
• Place the potato filling in the center of 4 of them, cover with the remaining disks, and roll out into a 4 to 5 inch discs. Brush the breads with soft butter.
• Place the stuffed breads on non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron pan on medium-high heat. They can also be cooked on a charcoal grill or pancake griddle. Cook till both sides are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
