EASY POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, beaten eggs, and softened butter.
• Stir in the sugar, salt, yeast, and warm filtered or bottled water.
• Mix in the flour 1 cup at a time, sifting before each addition, until the dough can be easily kneaded by hand.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured board or surface and knead it until it is smooth and elastic. ( Kneading helps develop the gluten and create long strands, which make the end product more springy.)
• Grease a bowl with olive oil. Add the dough and flip it over inside the bowl so all sides are lightly greased. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 1 to 2 hours, until doubled in bulk. (Putting it in the warmest place in your kitchen helps it to rise.)
• Punch down the dough by making a fist and pressing firmly in the center of the dough.
• Fold the edges of the dough into the center of the bowl to form a ball. Turn it out onto a lightly floured board and briefly knead out the bubbles.
• Divide the dough in half and make 2 loaves.
• Place each loaf in a greased 8 x 4 x 2-inch bread pan. Cover and let the dough rise a second time for 40 minutes or until doubled.
• Bake at 375 F for 40 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when the top is tapped.
• Remove ​the loaves from the pans and let them cool on a rack. Enjoy toasted, as a sandwich, alongside a meal, or simply as is.

MASHED POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl or a stand mixer, mix the mashed potatoes, eggs, salt and butter.
• In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk and 2 TBSP of the sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add in the yeast and let it sit, to proof until the mixture begins to bubble up.
• Using the dough hook on your mixer, add in the remaining sugar, as well as the flour in 1 cup at a time, allowing the flour to be incorporated before adding more. If you live in a relatively humid area, you might need an additional 1/4 cup of flour. Knead for 3 minutes. If the dough is still really sticking to the bottom, then add a tablespoon more flour. If it's sticking a little bit, that's fine, no need to add more flour. (Slightly sticky dough often yields soft & tender bread!)
• Continue to let the machine kneed the dough for about 5 more minutes; The dough should knead for about 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Transfer the dough ball onto a lightly floured surface. Round the dough with your hands and place it in a lightly greased mixing bowl. Turn the dough over so the side with grease on it now faces up. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rise in the warm oven until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (See notes about rising dough in the oven!)
• Punch the dough down to deflate. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface large enough to roll it out. Roll the dough balls into a long rectangle. It should be about as wide as the loaf pan you plan to bake it in. Carefully roll the dough from short end to short end, and pinch and fold the ends underneath along the seam. Place the dough, seam side down, in lightly greased bread/loaf pan.
• Let dough rise again for 45 minutes to 1 hour. You're ready to bake it when the dough has risen about 1 inch above the rim.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the loaf on the middle rack for 25 to 35 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 200 degrees F and crust is a deep golden brown. Remove and let cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Brush with butter.
• Slice and serve, or wrap tightly with plastic wrap and then tin foil to store in the freezer.

Steps:

• Bring the water, butter, sugar, buttermilk powder, and salt to a simmer in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat, mix well, and let cool to between 105 and 110 degrees F (41 to 43 degrees C). Sprinkle the yeast on top of the mixture, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until the yeast begins to form a creamy foam. Stir in the instant mashed potato flakes, and mix well.
• Pour the yeast mixture into the work bowl of a standing mixer with a dough paddle, and slowly incorporate 8 cups of bread flour into the liquid, adding the flour 1 cup at a time.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for about 8 minutes, adding the remaining flour to the dough as you knead. When the dough is smooth and elastic, form into a ball, and place into a large greased bowl. Turn the dough over in the bowl to grease the top, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.
• Spray 2 9x5 inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Punch the dough down, divide into two pieces, and shape each piece into a loaf shape. Place the loaves in the baking pans, seam sides down, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake bread for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to a wire rack to cool.
