I've never been really happy with the results from my bread machine. I was either going to beat it or get rid of it. I've been experimenting this week & I'm so happy with the results. I love the texture & taste of this recipe & I hope you all will too Ingredients:
cook time is for the whole machine process |
3/4 cup hot water |
1/4 cup milk |
2 tblspn butter |
2/3 cup mashed potatoes - do not add salt when boiling & do not add butter or milk when mashing |
3 1/4 cups bread flour |
1 1/2 tsp salt |
2 tblspn sugar |
1 1/2 tsp fast rising yeast |
Directions:
1. Place water, milk & butter in a microwave safe bowl
2. Heat to melt the butter
3. Stir in the mashed potatoes - You may find with some types of potatoes that when mixed into the liquids they become kind of a grainy texture. This does not affect the results of the bread
4. Pour into bread maker pan & leave to cool down to warm
5. In a separate bowl mix together the flour, salt & sugar
6. Add to liquids in pan, pushing into the corners & leaving a slight well in the center
7. Add yeast to the well
8. Process according to your machines instructions for a 1 1/2 lb loaf
9. NOTE:-
10. Play close attention to the consistancy of the dough during the machines mixing period, & follow your machines guidelines. I found this is really important. Before I never bothered.
11. For convenience, cook extra potatoes & divide into 2/3 cup portions & freeze in ziplock snack bags. Thaw 1 to room temp. before making a loaf. Also mix several ziplock bags of the dry ingredients(except the yeast). Then when it comes time to use your machine the measuring is all done & in just a couple of minutes you have the machine started
