Potato bread
Potato bread is a type of bread that includes mashed potatoes in its ingredients. This addition gives the bread a softer texture and slightly sweet flavor. It can be enjoyed on its own or used in various recipes like sandwiches or toast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
- 2 1/4 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg for egg wash (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, sugar, butter, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add the flour to the mixture, kneading the dough until it forms a smooth and elastic ball. You may need to add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough in a greased loaf pan, cover it, and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Optional: Beat an egg and brush it over the top of the loaf for a shiny finish.
- Bake the bread for about 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the bread to cool before slicing and enjoying!
