Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups warm water

  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast**

  • 1 cup Idahoan® Original Mashed Potatoes*

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 tablespoons melted, cooled butter or oil

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed

Directions

  1. Combine warm water and yeast in a mixing bowl; let stand for several minutes.

  2. Stir in mashed potatoes, sugar, butter, and salt; mix well.

  3. Stir in flour to make a soft dough.

  4. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed, for 5 to 8 minutes.

  5. Place dough in bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour. Punch dough down, divide in half, and shape each half into a loaf.

  6. Place doughs in 4x8-inch loaf pans, cover, and let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.

  7. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  8. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Tips

** 1 package active dry yeast equals 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast.

* Swap the Original flavor with one of the flavored varieties to add some extra flair.
