Mashed Potato Bread

This is one of my favorite ways to use up a little bit of leftover mashed potatoes. The potatoes make the bread very soft and moist.

• 2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup salted butter
• 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
• 1 tbsp. dry yeast
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 3 cups unbleached flour

I made my mashed potatoes with unpeeled potatoes and the bread turned out just fine.Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan until butter melts. Stir in mashed potatoes. Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water.

In a mixing bowl, blend milk mixture, yeast mixture, sugar, salt, and egg. Add whole wheat flour, one cup at a time. Stir in enough white flour to make a soft, kneadable dough. Knead dough for 10 minutes.

Let rise in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap until doubled in size. Punch down and form into 2 loaves. Put into loaf pan, cover with plastic wroap, and let rise.

Bake in 375 oven for 45 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

How is the word of God to be preached by those that are called thereunto?

They that are called to labor in the ministry of the word, are to preach sound doctrine,[1] diligently,[2] in season and out of season;[3] plainly,[4] not in the enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power;[5] faithfully,[6] making known the whole counsel of God;[7] wisely,[8] applying themselves to the necessities and capacities of the hearers;[9] zealously,[10] with fervent love to God [11] and the souls of his people;[12] sincerely,[13] aiming at his glory,[14] and their conversion,[15] edification,[16] and salvation.[17]
