Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Mashed potatoes
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Warm water

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, granulated sugar, and instant yeast. Stir lightly and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and add the butter. Stir until melted.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, warm milk mixture, and frothy yeast mixture. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Add the egg and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, stirring to form a soft dough. Once it becomes too difficult to mix, transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release air and divide it into two portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place into two greased 9x5-inch loaf pans.

Step 8

Cover the pans with the towel and let the loaves rise again for 30-40 minutes until puffy.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the loaves for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
