Country White Bread
By: homegirl

This is my favorite bread recipe (for white bread) It makes wonderful bread bowls for soup. This makes 4 loaves but can easily be halved. I've made half of it into loaves and half into breadbowls too.
4 loaves
Ingredients
- 2 cups hot water
- 1 cup powdered milk (instant)
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons yeast
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons salt
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup mashed potatoes (I use instant ,or you can sub with 1 egg if you'd rather)
- 10-12 cups flour
Directions
1
Stir milk powder and hot water together till well mixed.2
Add cold water and now it should be cool enough for yeast, add yeast.3
Then add sugar, salt, shortening, and potatoes one at a time.4
Add flour 2 cups at a time till you get a soft but not sticky dough (you may not need all the flour).5
Mix well or knead for about 5 minutes or till elastic.6
Place in a bowl that has been lightly sprayed with pan spray and cover with a towel and let rise 1-1/2 hrs or till doubled.7
Punch down let rise 1 hours.8
Punch down and divide into 4 loaves or bread bowls or whatever.9
Place in greased pans or on a greased cookie sheet.10
Let rise 1/2 hr and bakein 325 oven for 30 min or till bottom sounds hollow when thumped.11
For raisin bread add 1 cup of raisins mixed with 1-2 t cinnamon per loaf, it makes great toast! My mother always "plumped" the raisins by soaking them or boiling them for a few minutes first.

I've made this wonderful bread at least 5 times. I just paired it with Lorac's Josephinas recipe which produced a lovely combination. Let the neighbors get a whiff of this and you'll be the envy of your neighborhood. Forgot, if not eaten in a day or two, freeze the remainder for another time.

Easy to make and good flavor. I used the egg instead of the potatoes and substituted 5 cups of whole wheat flour for some of the white flour (I didn't have bread flour so I used all purpose flour.) The dough raised quickly! Thanks for the recipe!

This is the first bread recipe that I have been successful with! Awesome bread that is hard to stop eating! I did use 1 egg instead of the mashed potatoes and added the cinnamon and raisins to one loaf. Thank you so much homegirl for posting this wonderful bread recipe!

Great bread recipe and I would even go so far as to say fool proof! I used the dough cycle on the bread machine and took the dough out to rise and followed the instructions from there....and boy did this bread rise!!! I did not have powdered milk so I warmed whole milk and it worked just fine. I halved the recipe and then halved one of the loaves so I had a large round loaf and two small round loaves. I used the small round loaves for soup bowl. It was perfect!!! Thanks so much!
