Ingredients

• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Mashed potatoes (unsalted)
• 1 cup Milk (warmed to about 110°F/43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.25 cup Water (warm, 110°F/43°C)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, warm milk, softened butter, honey, and warm water until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or using the dough hook of a stand mixer on low speed.

Step 4

Once the dough starts to come together, knead by hand on a lightly floured surface or in the stand mixer on medium speed for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free location for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Transfer the loaf to a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and cover again, letting it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until the dough has risen just above the edge of the pan.

Step 7

Towards the end of the second rise, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve your hearty Whole Wheat Potato Bread as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
