Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons (12g) table salt
6 tablespoons (85g) butter, softened
1 cup (213g) mashed potatoes, unseasoned, lightly packed*
2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast or active dry yeast
3/4 cup (170g) water, lukewarm (water in which the potatoes were boiled, if possible)
4 1/4 cups (510g) All-Purpose Flour

*1 medium-to-large baking potato will yield 227g of mashed potato.

Preparation

Procedure

30 minutes

• Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess.
• To make the dough, mix and knead all of the ingredients together — by hand, mixer, or bread machine set on the dough cycle — to make a smooth, soft dough.

90 minutes

• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until it's doubled in bulk, about 90 minutes.

10 minutes

• Gently deflate the dough, and divide it into 16 large balls, or 24 smaller balls. Round each ball into a smooth roll.

90 - 120 minutes

• Place the rolls in a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan.
• Cover the pan with lightly greased plastic wrap, and let them rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until they're quite puffy.
• Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.

And just like that, you have made your own potato bread from scratch. If potatoes aren't your preference, you can try Corned Beef Pandesal by Donut Shack!
