Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 1 Garlic bulb
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30 minutes until soft and golden. Let cool and squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes, cut them into chunks, and boil in salted water for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Let cool slightly.

Step 3

Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and stir in the sugar and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, roasted garlic, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and yeast mixture. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 8

While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush it over the top of the loaf for a shiny finish.

Step 10

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
