Refrigerator Potato Bread
- 1 pkg. yeast
- 1/2 c. plus 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/2 c. warm water
- 1 c. warm milk or potato water (water in which potatoes have cooked; I use potato water)
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 c.) softened butter or margarine
- 1 Tbsp. salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 c. mashed potatoes (instant potatoes may be used)
- 6 c. Pillsbury bread flour (can substitute plain flour; I like the bread flour better)
- Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. Let set about 5 minutes, then add warm milk or potato water, butter, 1/2 cup sugar, salt and eggs to yeast mixture.
- Stir to blend.
- Add mashed potatoes; stir well.
- Add flour, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition, to make a stiff dough. (You may not need the full 6 cups of flour.)
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead 10 to 12 minutes, or until dough is smooth and shows great elasticity.
- Shape into ball.
- Oil a large mixing bowl; place dough in it.
- Turn dough to coat all sides. Cover tightly; place in refrigerator overnight to rise (can be left chilling for 16 to 18 hours).
