Potato bread from Idahoan® is a unique and tasty bread made with real potato flakes, that give it an extra flavor. This bread rose to popularity during World War II, when flour was scarce, and potato flour was often used as a substitute. Today, potato bread is a staple in many households and for good reason. The bread's texture is outstanding, and the potato flakes give it added flavor and moistness.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
2.	Mix in the sugar, melted butter or oil, salt and potato flakes. Add in flour, one cup at a time, to make a soft and workable dough.
3.	Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, for at least 10 minutes. Note, add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
4.	Grease a bowl with butter or oil, place the dough in the bowl and cover with a towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until it doubles in size.
5.	Preheat oven to 375°F, adjust rack to center position.
6.	Punch down dough, let rest for 5 minutes. Shape the dough and transfer into a greased loaf pan.
7.	Let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.
8.	Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until crust is golden and a hollow sound is made when tapped.
9.	Remove bread from pan and cool on a wire rack.
