Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cups leftover mashed potatoes (any flavor), hot, cold or luke warm all work!
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons hot milk
1 Tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons + 1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
4 1/4 cups flour

Steps:

  • In a mixer with a dough hook, blend mashed potatoes and milk. Let cool to a warm but not hot temperature. Add yeast, water and 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Mix well and cover with a dish towel. Let mixture sit for 5 - 10 minutes, allowing yeast to poof and activate. Add eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and melted butter. Blend well. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until all flour has been mixed in or until dough no longer sticks to the sides of bowl. Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Add dough and then spray top of dough with cooking spray. Cover with a dish towel and let sit for 1 hour in a draft free spot or until mixture is doubled in size. After mixture has doubled, take all your anger out on it and punch it a few times. Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish and a 9x9 casserole dish for rolls by spraying them generously with cooking spray. Grab approximately 3 Tablespoons of dough and slowly pull ends down and under the dough creating a ball. Place this in the greased casserole dish. You should be able to get 3 across and 4 down, making 12 in the 9x13 pan and 3 across and 3 down in the 9x9 pan, making 9 in the small pan. Cover prepared dough with a dish towel and let rise again for another hour. Preheat oven to 350*F Bake rolls for 25 minutes UNCOVERED or until tops of rolls are golden.

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cups leftover mashed potatoes (any flavor), hot, cold or luke warm all work!
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons hot milk
1 Tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons + 1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a mixer with a dough hook, blend mashed potatoes and milk. Let cool to a warm but not hot temperature. Add yeast, water and 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Mix well and cover with a dish towel. Let mixture sit for 5 - 10 minutes, allowing yeast to poof and activate. Add eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and melted butter. Blend well. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until all flour has been mixed in or until dough no longer sticks to the sides of bowl. Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Add dough and then spray top of dough with cooking spray. Cover with a dish towel and let sit for 1 hour in a draft free spot or until mixture is doubled in size. After mixture has doubled, take all your anger out on it and punch it a few times. Prepare two bread pans with cooking spray or a liner and set aside. Cut dough in half and work half the dough to shape into a loaf of bread, tucking sides under as needed. Place dough in bread pan. Repeat for second half of dough. Cover with towel and allow to rise for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350*F Place both bread pans in oven and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, cover with foil and bake for additional 15 - 20 minutes or until dough sounds hollow when you thump on the top. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before turning out of pan and allowing to cool to room temperature on a cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Use leftover mashed potatoes that are still warm, as they will mix together more easily.
  • If your mashed potatoes are too thick, add a little milk or cream to thin them out.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the bread tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Mashed potato bread is a delicious and easy-to-make way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. It is a versatile bread that can be used for sandwiches, toast, or even croutons. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and satisfying loaf of bread that the whole family will enjoy.
