Ingredients

• 1 medium Russet potato (peeled and cubed)
• 3 cups Water (for boiling potato)
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3.25 cups Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the russet potato. Place it in a pot with 3 cups of water. Boil until the potato is tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potato, reserving 3/4 cup of the potato cooking water. Mash the potato until smooth and allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Add the reserved 3/4 cup potato water to the bread machine pan, followed by the mashed potato, milk, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 4

Sprinkle the bread flour evenly over the wet ingredients, ensuring it covers them completely.

Step 5

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast doesn’t touch the liquid ingredients.

Step 6

Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting. Choose your crust preference (light, medium, or dark), if applicable.

Step 7

Start the machine and allow it to mix, knead, rise, and bake according to the machine's programmed times.

Step 8

When the bread is finished, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a cooling rack.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its texture.
