1..Put the olive oil in a small saucepan and place over medium heat.. Add the shallot and sweat until soft, about 2 minutes..
2..Add the pepper juice and bring to a simmer.. Allow the juice to simmer until reduced to about ¼ cup, 30 to 40 minutes.. For a sauce with more body, whisk in the butter if using right before serving..*
*Note: Although thin, this sauce is very flavorful and stands very well on its own.. However, if you prefer a thicker sauce without butter, make a slurry with one tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water and whisk into the sauce, a little at a time, as it simmers until the desired consistency is achieved..

Potato Bread
Makes one
2large russet potatoes, about 1 lb, peeled
2¼ teaspoons dry active yeast
2teaspoons granulated sugar
3cups bread flour
2 | teaspoons sea salt |
1tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1½ | tablespoons nonfat dry milk |
1 | large egg |
1..Turn the Cuisinart® Juice Extractor to speed 5.. Turn the unit on and juice the potatoes.. Stir the juice and reserve ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon.. Reserve all of the pulp (about 2 cups), being sure to discard any large pieces of potato..
2..Put the potato juice, yeast and sugar into the bowl of a Cuisinart® Stand Mixer fitted with the dough hook.. Stir well to dissolve yeast and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.. Mixture will foam and bubble – this means the yeast is alive and active..
3..Put the flour, salt, butter, and dry milk in a separate bowl and stir.. Add half to the yeast mixture and mix on speed 3 until fully combined, being sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl with a spatula.. Add the egg and pulp; mix to combine..
4..Continuing on speed 3, add the remaining flour mixture, ½ cup at a time, mixing completely, about 30 to 40 seconds, until no flour is visible after each addition.. The dough at first will be a batter, and slowly, as the flour is added, the batter will become a complete ball of dough that cleans the sides of the mixing bowl..
5.. After the flour mixture has been incorporated (you may not need all of the flour), mix on speed 3 for 3 to 4 minutes to knead the dough..
