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.

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.

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:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for mashed potato bread, as they are starchy and will produce a light and fluffy loaf.
  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: Make sure the potatoes are cooked until they are very soft and can be easily mashed.
  • Use a food processor or mixer: A food processor or mixer will help you achieve a smooth and creamy mashed potato mixture.
  • Add the mashed potatoes to the dough while it is still warm: This will help the potatoes to blend in better with the dough and produce a more cohesive loaf.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to rise properly and produce a light and airy loaf.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Mashed potato bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create a perfect loaf of mashed potato bread that will be sure to impress your family and friends.
