Potato Bread (Bread Machine)

Kree's Note:

This is a light and delicious loaf of bread made with instant mashed potato flakes. It was my first truly successful attempt at using my new bread machine, and I plan on making it again and again! If I didn't screw it up it must be foolproof! I found this online somewhere, but I'm ashamed to say I forgot where. This makes one 1 1/2 pound loaf.

• Total Time: 3 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 loaf

• ¾ cup milk or ¾ cup soymilk
• ½ cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 3 cups bread flour
• ½ cup instant potato flakes
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ¼ teaspoon white pepper (optional-i omit)
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients to bread machine in order listed, or as recommended by your bread machine.
2. Select desired setting and press start.
3. I make this using the basic cycle and the lightest crust setting.

This turned out excellent. I used just the dough cycle and let it rise and baked at 350 in reg pans . It makes 2 nice loaves. Thanks

What a wonderful loaf, Kree! I used canola oil, 2% milk and also omitted the white pepper (since I didn't have any)! This was definitely a winner. The loaf was very light and tasted absolutely wonderful! I'll definitely be making this on a regular basis. Thanks for posting!

used olive oil rather than canola (too much omega 6) and agave syrup in place of the sugar, and it's beautiful and delicious. I will try it as a whole wheat/white blend next time. Thanks for a new regular in my kitchen!
