Preparation: 20min › Cook:1hour › Extra time:1day resting › Ready in:1day1hour20min
1. Peel and dice potato. Place in pot with 1 cup water, cover and simmer until mashing consistency. Mash and cool to lukewarm then add flour and sugar. Mix to a firm texture then cover and allow to sit in a warm place for 24-48 hours.
2. After 24-48 hours, set aside on tablespoon of dough in a large Agee jar. Cover and keep in a warm place. Feed one day with a 1/2 cup of warm potato water then the next day with 1 teaspoon of sugar. This is your "bug" which is your base for making future loaves. Skip this step if you are only making one loaf of rewena bread.
3. Mix 5 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon on bicarb soda. Pour in rewena from step one then mix. Add more water if needed. Kneed for 10 minutes. Put in a greased dish then set in a warm place to rise. Place in a cold oven (do not preheat) and bake at 180 degrees C for one hour. This allows the bread to rise further while oven warms.
Tip
If you are only making one loaf, you can skip step two.
