Ingredients :
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110-115°F)
- 1 package (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (cooled)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 6 cups bread flour
Directions :
- Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a large bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until it gets foamy.
- Mix in the mashed potatoes, salt, sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until everything is well blended.
- Mix in the bread flour gradually, one cup at a time, until the dough is smooth and stretchy.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about five minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Put the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it’s doubled in size.
- Press the dough down and form it into loaves. Put the loaves in bread pans that have been greased, and give them another 30 minutes to rise.
- Set the oven temperature to 375°F. Bake the bread for 30–35 minutes, or until the bottom sounds hollow when tapped and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack before you cut it and serve it.
- Before you mix the mashed potatoes with the yeast, make sure they are warm. If the mashedpotatoes are cold, they can stop the dough from rising right.
- Knead the dough well until it is smooth and elastic. This will make sure the bread is light and soft.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place without drafts so it can rise right.
- Tap the bottom of the loaf to see if it’s done. It’s ready when it sounds hollow.
