Forum Bread Machine Users - I have invented a new bread recipe! - Paul F. - 05-18-2014
I am not under the illusion that an identical, or nearly identical, loaf has never been made... but this is my rendition.
A soft, moist, white bread... makes good toast.
(I've also already used it as the "base" for variations like adding oats, wheat bran, etc).
Potato Peasant Bread
(makes a "large" loaf in my Zojirushi BBCC-X20 machine)
Water 1 -1/4 cup (See Text!)
Egg 1 (large)
Sugar 1 tsp
Salt 1-1/2 tsp
Instant Mashed Potato Mix (dry) 3/4 Cup
Bread Flour 3 Cups
Yeast 2 tsp
I used the "quick" cycle, "dark" crust setting.
Note about the water content: Due to the variables of flour, egg size, etc, I would use LESS than 1-1/4 cup water to begin, then add water until you get a SLIGHTLY "sticky" dough.
Slightly sticky, rather than the silky smooth, allows the potato mix to hyrdrate.
Also, I added 1 Tbs of Vital Wheat Gluten to compensate for my particular batch of flour... it shouldn't be necessary with better flour, but if you get a "flat" loaf, keep it in mind.
Enjoy!

I have the exact same bread maker. I'll keep your recipe and give it a try. Thanks!

When I put forth recipes, I often use the precise term "enough".
"Enough" isn't a quantity, it's a concept. You grasp the concept.
I would never have thought of using Instant Mashed Potato Mix.
Intriguing.
