Potato Bread Recipe
6 C. flour

2 medium sized potatoes

1 C. potato water

1/2 C. butter

3/4 C. sugar

2 eggs with milk to make 1 C. liquid

2 t. salt

2 packages yeast

1/4 C. warm water

Boil potatoes until tender. Mash and add the cup of potato water to a large bowl.

Add yeast to a small bowl with 1 t. of the sugar and add the warm water.

Add the sugar, melted butter and salt to the mashed potatoes. Stir. When the potato water mixture is cool, mix in the yeast. Add the eggs and milk.

Add the flour a cup at a time and make a soft dough. Place dough on a floured board and knead it about 10 minutes. Dough should be smooth and elastic.

Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, covered. Knead a few minutes and divide the dough into 2 loaves. Place dough in greased bread pans and let rise until double.

Bake at 400°F. for 20 minutes. Reduce oven to 300°F. and finish baking for another 25 minutes.

I love Potato bread! My mother always made her bread with potato water and the mashed potatoes. It was so good with some homemade strawberry jam!

I'm going to try this recipe, I never got my mother to write hers down so I haven't had good homemade potato bread for close to 30 yrs.

I printed it off.....I am wondering...Kaza...have you ever made it with half WW flour before? I don't use white flour very often. I have rye, oat, wheat, spelt, what sounds better for that?

oat or wheat. I forget how to adjust a recipe that calls for white... to use wheat in it. I also use wheat, but never have in that recipe. I'd try the oat first I reckon.

That's what I was thinking! Oats sound better with spuds for some reason! I will try that next week!!! That bread sounds like it needs to be served with fried chicken and some homemade strawberry freezer jam! Mmmmmmmmmm!

I don't know flour conversion dealies...cuz I never measure the flour anyway....I just add more till it feels right....I made bread the other day and what usually takes 6 cups of flour...took closer to 8 because I added some molasses and it was raining....so......ya' just never know...till ya' know...ya' know? ;D

Sounds like a great recipe!!!!!
