What could be better than homemade bread, especially when it's studded with the earthy flavours of cheese, walnuts, potatoes, fresh thyme and pears. I love it served with a steaming soup on ice cold days. It's also great for a school packed lunch.
Potato Bread Batons with Cheese and Pear
adapted from daheim und unterwegs| Bread | Cheese Spread |

- Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces. Fill a large pot with the potatoes. Add enough water to cover the potatoes. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender. Drain and cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, dissolve the yeast in water. Add in sourdough, flours, salt, walnuts and cooked potatoes. Mix on slow speed for 4 minutes, then increase the speed and mix a further 4 minutes.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and divide it into 6 even portions. Shape each into a ball and rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Knead the dough balls gently and briefly. Cover, and rest for a further 15 minutes. Shape each dough ball into a baton and allow them to rest, covered, for 15 minutes.
- To prepare the cheese spread by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Transfer the mixture into a pastry bag. With a sharp serrated knife, slash the top of the bread lengthwise, about 1/4-inch deep. Pipe the cheese mixture onto the cut and press 5-6 pear wedges on top. Allow them to rest for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220C/430F and bake for about 35 minutes until nicely golden brown.

Gorgeous batons
I have never tried to match a fruit with cheese with the only exception of watermelon and feta during summer! This one looks delicious Angie!
Super combination in your bread, Angie. And an unusual bread to begin with. I've never made potato bread and I love the rye and spelt flours in yours.
What a fantastic baker you are. Those breads looks amazing!!!
What a very creative bread. Sadly, the schools in Canada have forbidden any type of nuts to be brought into the schools with home made lunches.
I used to love potato bread when I was a kid! I don't know why I do not eat it more often!!! Thanks for sharing! :D
I need thick soup to go with these lovelies. I can even just snack on them :D
I bet this would be good without anything at all! Angie this is one of the most beautiful breads I've ever seen. You know you aren't helping my bread addiction! Fantastic photos - I am in awe of your talents - and they are many !!!!
Wow, I have never seen anything like this! The thyme and cheese may make it sound like German version of a focaccia, but the walnuts and especially the pears bring in to a whole different level! Intriguing.
Cheers,
Tobias

I was convinced this was the perfect recipe for bread when I saw the Gorgonzola and pears!
Sounds amazing with cheese and those pear slices, yum!
I so agree. How could be better than homemade bread! Not only it is more wholesome, the aroma that fills the home while baking the bread is so alluring.

I have to honestly say; I love ALL your recipes, but this one really screams "EAT ME NOW"... I've never had pear baked in bread and DAYUM, does it sound goooooood. :)
