It's time to get political in the kitchen! With the European Union's (EU) politics often in the news, we thought we'd explain a little about what's going on by way of a delicious recipe. And what better way to do that than with some hungarian potato bread?
The EU is made up of 28 member countries, each with their own unique culture and cuisine. One of the things that makes the EU such a great place is that its members are able to trade freely with each other, without having to pay import taxes. This is great news for foodies, as it means we can enjoy a greater variety of European foods than ever before.
Hungary is one of the 28 member countries of the EU and is famous for its delicious food. One of the most popular dishes in Hungary is potato bread, which is often served with a variety of dipping sauces.
The bread is made using a special type of flour that is only found in Hungary. This flour is made from potatoes that have been dried and ground into a powder. The bread is then baked in a special oven that gives it a crispy crust.

also love to bake so here's some food
for thought from Hungary to make a
Hungarian potato bread there are two
things you need to do the night before
baking boil potatoes and prepare a
sourdough makes 220 milliliters of
lukewarm water with 100 grams of rye
sourdough starter and 180 grams of
medium rye flour cover and leave to rise
overnight at room temperature
bread is sensitive to small changes in
the proportions of ingredients so you're
best off sticking to the recipe in
baking and in politics you know if
you're a member of a club you sign a
treaty you want to be a member of the
club you apply the rules you can't
violate the rules nor can you ignore the
rule or you end up in Hell's Kitchen
that's the EU's message to our garyun
Prime Minister Viktor Orban the
conservative with the nickname dictator
got into serious trouble with Brussels
for cracking down on independent media
NGOs and the justice system physically
it's not easy well following this recipe
at least is take 150 milliliters of
lukewarm water and at 225 grams of bread
flour mix well and leave to rest for 30
now mesh 300 grams of boiled potatoes
and mix in 90 milliliters of buttermilk
this recipe really shows how well
hungarians can actually integrate new
ingredients from abroad faced with a
shortage of wheat during the Napoleonic
Wars the farmers decided to enrich their
loaves with potatoes to the water flour
mix at the sour dough and the mashed
potato as well as 380 grams of plain
flour 130 grams of light rye flour 50
grams of honey 20 grams of salt and 1
teaspoon of caraway seeds and knead in a
stand mixer for nine minutes then shake
the loaf slowly that's right I forgot to
add 20 grams of log
knead the dough for another two minutes
and let it rest for three hours at room
temperature or should we say perhaps
just one hour we have to follow the
regulation oh is that so okay so after
three hours place the dough on a lightly
floured surface and work it into a round
using both hands pull the dough towards
you in the same manner as Brussels is
trying to pull Viktor Orban closer to
Europe place the dough in a floured
proving basket and leave it to rise
until it's doubled in volume now we have
a clear cut solution like in the clear
cut illegal position and a clear cut
loaf now you can get creative and make a
unique pattern that identifies the loaf
as your own
bake the bread for 40 minutes
first at 250 degrees Celsius and after
10 minutes at 200 so this is the story
and what a Hungarian European Latin
American and tasty story it is thanks
