HOW TO MAKE SOFTER BREAD RECIPES

Steps:

• Peel and cube the potatoes. Place in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook on a low boil for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a paring knife. Drain potatoes, reserving the water. Mash potatoes well. Let potatoes and potato water cool for at least 30 minutes. Potato water should be lukewarm before using. In a large bowl, stir flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the lesser amount of potato water, milk, butter, and 1 cup mashed potatoes (you’ll have extra). Mix using the paddle attachment until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be tacky and sticky. If too dry, mix in remaining 1/4 cup potato water.Switch to a dough hook and knead on medium speed for about 8 minutes, pausing a few times to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, as well as the dough hook. The dough should be smooth, but soft and still a bit tacky feeling. Remove to an oiled bowl. Cover with an oiled piece of plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour to 90 minutes. Punch down the dough. Divide in half and place on a lightly floured surface. Knead each piece a few times, form into a log, and place in two greased (8x4 or 9x5) loaf pans.Cover the pans lightly with oiled plastic wrap. Let rise until the dough has crowned 1 inch over the tops of the pans, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Bake bread for 35 minutes or until top is golden and internal temperature reaches 190ºF. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then remove from the pans to cool on a wire rack. Slice with a serrated knife. Bread may be wrapped well and frozen.

Steps:

• Cut the butter into small pieces, place the butter into a Microwave Safe Bowl and microwave until the butter is just melted.
• Add Garlic Powder, chopped garlic and Italian Seasoning to the melted butter. Mix everything together to create a butter garlic mix, it will smell delicious and garlic-y.
• Preheat the oven to 375F.Use the Basting Brush and baste the bread with the butter garlic mixture. I baste one side of each slice, then put it on the Baking Sheet buttered side down, and then baste the second side of each slice.
• Put the baking sheet in the oven, and bake garlic bread for 8-10 minutes. Take it out of the oven, turn the bread, and bake for another 4 minutes.Once the bread is out of the oven, sprinkle it with Grated Parmesan Cheese and let it cool. Serve with Instant Pot Whole Chicken and Strawberry Salad with Cherries and Blueberries.
