Description: You'll never go back to plain white bread again after making this, it's softer, less crumbs and it stays fresh longer, and to top it off you can use any kind of potato or even, pumpkin, butternut or acorn squash. This makes a LOT of dough, divide into two large loaves or one really big one.

Ingredients:
1 cup Milk
3 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
1 cup Baked, boiled or Mashed Potato
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1/3 cup Warm Water
1 Tbsp Active Dry Yeast
5 cup Bread Flour
1/2 cup Potato Water or Water

Instructions: Combine warm water & yeast and set aside until foamy. Combine scalded milk, 1/2 cup potato water, riced or mashed potato, butter, salt & sugar & let sit until room temp.
Combine all ingredients & add to bread machine on dough cycle and then divide into two loaves, let rise for 1 - 1 1/2 hours & bake in oven at 350�f until golden brown, @ 30 min.

If you don't have a bread machine then just knead and let rise as you would any bread dough.
