Has anyone ever substituted honey for the sugar??

Red Star Yeast | Reply

Hi Donna – Because it’s a small amount, you can substitute honey for sugar 1-for-1 in this recipe.
Happy baking!

I’ve recently purchased a Zorushi bread maker, and I’ll
be using it today. I believe your potato bread comes
close to the recipe I have used for many years!
The Zorushi recipes all call for instant yeast. Why
does your recipe used activated dry yeast? Again, I’m a newbie to the bread makers.
Thank you,

Hi Sheryn – You can substitute instant yeast – use 1/2 teaspoon per cup of flour.
Happy baking!

I didn’t have the dried onion, but wanted to try this recipe so I used a packet of Ranch dressing mix (just the powdered stuff). The texture was a good, medium density; it was moist and flavorful.

I always make the medium loaf, which is perfect sandwhich size. I omit the lemon zest and white pepper and substitute minced onion with 1/2+ tsp of onion powder. BEST bread I have ever made…at least 2 loaves a week!!
