Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Russet potato (peeled and cubed)
- 3 cups Water (for boiling potato)
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3.25 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Peel and cube the russet potato. Place it in a pot with 3 cups of water. Boil until the potato is tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the potato, reserving 3/4 cup of the potato cooking water. Mash the potato until smooth and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Add the reserved 3/4 cup potato water to the bread machine pan, followed by the mashed potato, milk, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt.
Sprinkle the bread flour evenly over the wet ingredients, ensuring it covers them completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast doesn’t touch the liquid ingredients.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting. Choose your crust preference (light, medium, or dark), if applicable.
Start the machine and allow it to mix, knead, rise, and bake according to the machine's programmed times.
When the bread is finished, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a cooling rack.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its texture.
