Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked potato, mashed
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 4-5 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add the mashed potato, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
- If desired, beat the egg and brush it on top of the dough for a golden crust.
- Cover the pan again and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until it expands above the edge of the pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the potato bread is cooled, slice it up and enjoy! Whether you pair it with your favorite spreads or use it to create delicious sandwiches, this bread is sure to become a regular recipe in your baking repertoire.
