Ingredients

MAKES 2 LOAVES

-----------------------------------

2 tablespoons sugar

4 teaspoons salt

2 packages active dry yeast

8 cups(about) all-purpose flour

1/2 cup water

1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes

1 1/2 cups milk

1/4 cup butter -- or margarine

2 eggs

Directions

In large bowl, combine sugar, salt, yeast and 1 1/2 cups flour.

In 2-quart saucepan, mix water, mashed potatoes and 1 1/2 cups milk; add butter; over low heat, heat until very warm (120* to 130*F) stirring often.

Butter does not need to melt.

With mixer at low speed, gradually beat liquid into dry ingredients just until blended; beat in eggs.

At medium speed, beat 2 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl. Beat in 1 cup flour to make a thick batter;

continue beating 2 minutes, scraping bowl often.

Stir in enough additional flour (about 3 1/4 cups) to make a soft dough.

On well-floured surface, knead dough about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic, kneading in about 1 1/2 cups flour.

Shape into ball; place in greased large bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough; turn onto lightly floured surface; cut in half; cover;

let rest 15 minutes.

Grease two 2-quart round, straight-sided, shallow casseroles. Shape 1 piece of dough into ball; place in casserole.

Cut 2 parallel slashes on top.

Repeat. Cover; let rise until doubled; about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 400*F Brush each loaf with milk.

Bake 40 minutes or until well browned and loaves sound hollow when tapped with fingers.

Remove loaves to cool on wire racks.
