Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes. Boil them in a pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, warm 0.5 cup of water until it is lukewarm (around 100°F/38°C). Add the sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the water. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, yeast mixture, 1 cup of flour, salt, minced garlic, melted butter, olive oil, and milk. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time while kneading.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Punch the dough down and transfer it to a floured surface. Shape it into a loaf or divide it into small rolls, depending on your preference.
Place the loaf or rolls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover again with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the top of the dough with additional melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
