Ingredients

2- cups of mashed potatoes ( not instant)

10-1/2 cups flour, plus extra for dusting

3- tablespoon salt

1 envelope instant dried yeast

5- cups warm water

Directions

Place potato, flour, salt and dried yeast into a mixing bowl and make a well in the center.

pour in the warm water and mix to a dough with the dough hooks

knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic

shape into a ball and place in a greased bowl............

loosely cover with greased plastic wrap and leave in a warm , draft -free place until the dough has doubled in size................

knock the bread back and knead for 2- 3 minutes

shape the dough into a ball, place on a floured baking sheet and gently flatten the top a little.................

with a sharp knife, make 2 incisions , close together on one side of the loaf, then continue cutting along the edge to form the elephants toe-nails............

loosely cover the dough with the greased plastic wrap and leave to rise in a warm place until the loaf has doubled its size.........

meanwhile , preheat the oven to 400 degrees f.

bake for approximately 60- 75 minutes, or unitl the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom..............

stand the bread on a wire rack to cool.................

i usually do a egg wash on top when i cook the bread i like the shiny glaze look.but you dont have too................

mmmmmmmmm cant you just smell it baking nothing like the smell of fresh baked bread ..................
