Aspiring Bakers #4 - Love Pocket Bread (Feb 2011)


Make a simple love pocket bread for your love one for breakfast or pack it in their lunch box... I'm sure they will be touched and will feel the love is in the air while munching on the bread that fill with delicious potato salad.

This is my entry for this month - Aspiring Bakers #4: Love in the air (Feb 2011) hosted by Ellena of Cuisine Paradise.




Love pocket bread - recipe adapted from my colleague Sandra who once made this for our X'mas Potluck Gathering.


Ingredients:
Fillings
1 no potatoes (cooked & mashed)
1 no hard boiled egg (chopped)
1 slice of ham (chopped)
1/2 no tomato (deseed & chopped)
1/2 no Japanese cucumber (deseed & chopped)
2-3 tbsp Kraft coleslaw dressing
Pinch of salt & pepper to taste
**this portion is enough to make 5-6 pocket bread, about a loaf of bread



Mix all the ingredients for the potato salad together into a smooth paste as shown in the picture.


Use a heart shape small cake tin to outline the bread, spread the potato salad within the outline. Top with another slice of bread and press out the love pocket. It will seal nicely.


Very simple...right! Hope you enjoy it!


Alternatively, you can serve it this way. Top the toasted bread with potato salad. Equally yummy!
