Potato Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

7 1/2 to 8 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. salt
2 pkg. active dry yeast
1 1/2 c. milk
1 1/2 c. mashed potatoes
1/4 c. butter
2 eggs

Preparation

Make Early in the Day:
In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast.
In 2-quart saucepan, stir milk, mashed potatoes and 1/2 cup water until well mixed.
Add butter and, over medium heat, heat until very warm (120\u00b0 to 130\u00b0), stirring occasionally.
(Butter does not need to melt completely.) With mixer at low speed, gradually pour liquid mixture into dry ingredients.
Beat in eggs.
Increase speed to medium; beat 2 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula.
Beat in 1 cup flour or enough to make a thick batter; continue beating 2 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl.
With spoon, stir in enough additional flour (about 3 1/4 cups) to make a soft dough.
