½ CUP
MILK
½ CUP WATER
¼ CUP BUTTER
2 TBSP HONEY
½ CUP
MASHED POTATOES
1 EGG
4 ¼ CUP
WHITE FLOUR
2 ½ tsp YEAST
1 tsp SALT
Measure
and heat 1st four ingredients for 2 minutes in microwave. Put potato
and beaten egg in mixing bowl (Kitchen Aid). Add heated liquids. Mix on low for about 30 seconds. Add flour, Yeast and salt
in that order.
Mix on
setting two until dough begins to climb up the dough hook. Let rest and raise
until it is almost to the top of the bowl. Mix down on setting two. Let raise again.
Mix down
again on setting two. Place dough on oiled surface of marble board. Divide into two loaves. Shape loaves by folding ends toward
middle and then folding edges toward middle. Do this until you have a nicely
shaped smooth elongated oval. Place in well oiled bread pans. Raise until dough is just above the rim of the pans. Bake
at 375’ for 40 to 45 minutes. Should be dark golden brown.
This makes
a very fine grained bread that is soft like a commercial bread. Freezes well.
