Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 1.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 cup Mashed potato (plain, no butter or milk added)
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
Instructions
Prepare your bread machine by making sure the paddle is securely attached to the bread pan.
Add the water and milk to the bread pan first, followed by the softened butter.
Sprinkle the salt and sugar evenly over the liquid ingredients in the pan.
Add the mashed potato to the pan, making sure it spreads evenly for consistent mixing.
Carefully measure the all-purpose flour and spoon it evenly over the wet ingredients. Do not mix.
Sprinkle the dry milk powder across the top of the flour layer.
Create a small well or indentation in the center of the flour (but not deep enough to reach the liquid). Add the instant yeast into the well.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and select the setting for Basic or White Bread. Choose the crust color (light, medium, or dark) based on your preference.
Start the bread machine. The machine will mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread following the selected program.
When the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Gently remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or serving.
