Potato Bread from Idahoan

Recipe View In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Stir in mashed potato flakes, sugar, melted butter, and salt until well combined. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking, until the dough is smooth and elastic. (8 minutes)

Recipe View Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. (60 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Gently punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a loaf. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Place each loaf into a greased 4x8-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled. (40 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C). (35 minutes)

Recipe View Remove from pans and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. (60 minutes)
