Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup mashed potatoes (unseasoned)
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
Instructions
Add the mashed potatoes, milk, and water into the bread machine pan. Ensure the liquids are at room temperature to avoid interfering with yeast activity.
Add the unsalted butter in small chunks evenly over the liquid layer.
Drizzle in the honey over the liquids.
Sprinkle the salt along the edges of the pan, avoiding direct contact with the yeast.
Add the whole wheat flour and bread flour into the pan, spreading to cover the liquid completely.
Create a small well in the center of the flour mound and add the instant yeast. This keeps the yeast dry until the bread machine starts mixing.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the 'Whole Wheat' program. If your bread machine allows you to choose crust darkness, select 'Medium'.
Start the machine and let it mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread. Avoid lifting the lid during the process, as this may disrupt rising.
Once the program completes, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine. Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Serve as is, or toast slices for a delicious accompaniment to any meal.
