Sourdough Potato Rye Garlic Scape Bread

I’m never quite certain what I should make with garlic scapes, but this year a friend suggested adding them to bread.

I roasted several in olive oil and then chopped them into tiny pieces about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length. That’s strawberry jam and strawberry preserves in the background. It was a full-on cooking day.

I boiled potatoes, mashed them, and made a sourdough rye bread with them.

I also added some coarse cornmeal. The potato added moisture, the cornmeal gave it crunch, and the rye, sourdough, and scapes infused the loaf with flavor as solid as it sounds.
