Discover the ultimate comfort bread with this Baked Potato Bread made hands-free in a bread machine! This soft and fluffy loaf combines the nostalgic heartiness of mashed potatoes with pantry staples like all-purpose flour, milk, and butter for a rich, tender texture that’s perfect for any occasion. Using plain mashed potatoes adds moisture and creates an irresistibly pillowy crumb, while instant yeast and dry milk powder ensure consistent, bakery-quality results every time. With just five minutes of prep time, the bread machine handles all the heavy lifting, from kneading to baking. Serve this versatile potato bread fresh out of the oven for sandwiches, alongside soups, or toasted with your favorite spread—it’s a deliciously easy way to elevate your homemade bread game!
Prepare your bread machine by making sure the paddle is securely attached to the bread pan.
Add the water and milk to the bread pan first, followed by the softened butter.
Sprinkle the salt and sugar evenly over the liquid ingredients in the pan.
Add the mashed potato to the pan, making sure it spreads evenly for consistent mixing.
Carefully measure the all-purpose flour and spoon it evenly over the wet ingredients. Do not mix.
Sprinkle the dry milk powder across the top of the flour layer.
Create a small well or indentation in the center of the flour (but not deep enough to reach the liquid). Add the instant yeast into the well.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and select the setting for Basic or White Bread. Choose the crust color (light, medium, or dark) based on your preference.
Start the bread machine. The machine will mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread following the selected program.
When the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Gently remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or serving.
