Ingredients

  • 1 package 1/4 ounce size dry active yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water **110-115 degrees F**
  • 1/2 cup mashed potato flakes
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 2 Tablesoons + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil divided
  • 1 14 ounce can Frank's Sweet Bavarian Style Sauerkraut, drained and chopped
  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1/4 cup Everything Bagel Seasoning

Instructions

  • Pour warm water in a mixing bowl, sprinkle yeast in, stir until dissolved.
  • Stir in potato flakes, salt, caraway seeds, brown sugar, oil, and kraut. Gradually add in flour and stir until a stiff dough forms.
  • Using the dough hook of your stand mixer, knead the dough for 4 minutes. Cover and let rise for about an hour. The dough will double in size.
  • Grease a 9x5 loaf pan with Crisco. Punch the dough down and form into a loaf, place in the prepared loaf pan, and cover and let rise for another hour until it has doubled in size again.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the top of the loaf with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning.
  • Bake for 50 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and set in the center. Let rest in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool before slicing.

Notes

Store in an airtight container and eat within 4 days. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
If you don't have a dough hook, you can knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for the same amount of time.
You can sub regular sauerkraut for the Bavarian, but the sweet Bavarian goes really well in this recipe!
Can sub all-purpose flour for the bread flour.
