Ingredients:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter1-1/2 cups milk
1 cup leftover mashed potatoes (room temperature)
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar (or honey)
1 packet dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water (about 110°)
5 cups flour
Vegetable oil (for coating bowl and pans)
Flour (for dusting work surface)
Instructions:
In a small saucepan, melt butter in milk. Let cool to warm (110°) or room temperature. In the bowl of a standing mixer with dough hook, combine milk mixture with mashed potatoes, salt, sugar (or honey), yeast, and warm water. Add flour and knead with dough hook (or by hand) about 5 minutes, until you have a smooth and slightly glossy dough. Place into an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic or a clean, dry dish towel, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.Oil two 9x5-inch loaf pans. Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide in half and knead 3 or 4 times. Shape each dough mass into a rectangle, about 9 inches long. Roll each one lengthwise into a log, and place seam side down into its own loaf pan. Cover with plastic or a clean, dry dish towel. Let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Heat oven to 375°. Bake about 30 minutes, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped. Turn onto wire racks and let cool completely. Serve with butter and honey.
