Ingredients
Scale
2 cups mashed potatoes
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 packet active dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the warm water and yeast, allowing it to sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the mashed potatoes, sugar, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture.
Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
Cover the loaf and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the bread cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, add herbs or garlic to the dough before baking.
Make sure the potatoes are well-mashed to ensure a smooth bread texture.
