Baked Potato Bread
Yield 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup mashed baked potato (See note)
  • 2 3/4 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast

Instructions

  • Have liquid ingredients at 80°F and all others at room temperature. Place ingredients in pan in the order recommended by manufacturer. Select basic cycle and medium/normal crust. Do not use the delay timer. Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it is dry and stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time. If it is too wet and sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time. Remove bread when cycle is finished; cool on wire rack before slicing.
