Farmhouse Potato Bread Recipe
This hearty potato bread combines the fluffiness of traditional bread with the creamy texture of potatoes, perfect for sandwiches or as a side.
Ingredients
Dough
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 0.75 cup instant potato flakes
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups water
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 egg egg (room temperature)
- optional additional beaten egg for brushing (optional)
Instructions
- Mix all dough ingredients in a stand mixer with a dough hook until combined.
- Knead the dough on medium speed for 7-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a greased bowl, covered, for about 1 hour until doubled.
- Shape the dough into a loaf, place in a greased pan, and let rise for 30 minutes.
