👩‍🍳 Potato Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

1 medium potato
1-1/2 cups water
2 packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
2 tbsp. butter, softened
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp salt
6-1/2 to 7-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Additional flour for dusting
Directions:
1️⃣ Place potato and 1-1/2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until very tender. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Mash potatoes, set aside.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, butter, sugar, salt, 4 cups flour, potatoes, and reserved liquid; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
3️⃣ Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (6-8 minutes). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
4️⃣ Punch dough down. Divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
5️⃣ Preheat oven to 375°F. Sprinkle lightly with flour. Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
