BM Bread

My typical recipe for two loaves of bread, and when I used to fuss with such things the loaves weighed 1.25 pounds each when placed in the pans to rise:

2 cups liquid (in this case, scalded milk)
2 t. yeast (in this case, scant 2 t. yeast plus a glob of starter)
1 T. sugar (or honey)
1 egg
2 T. olive oil (3 T. butter this time)
scant 2 t. salt
flour (in this case, sub about 1 - 2 c. mashed potatoes for part of the flour)

My mashed potatoes were just that, plain boiled red potatoes (with skins), mashed. Simmering them first in the milk hydrated them thoroughly and made a truly luxurious bread.
