Cheesy Potato Bread

By: Deb Amrine 
"Two crusty golden-brown loaves with terrific flavor and texture are what you'll get when you try this recipe. Potatoes and cheese make an unusual but delicious combination for a yeast bread. My family loves it served with soup or stew on cold days. -Deb Amrine, Grand Haven, Michigan"

Original Recipe Yield 32 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 5 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted, divided
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups finely shredded peeled potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add cream, 3 tablespoons butter, salt, cayenne pepper and 2-1/2 cups flour; beat on medium for 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. (Dough will feel slightly sticky.) Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down. Pat into a 1/2-in.-thick rectangle. Sprinkle cheese evenly over dough. Fold dough over the cheese and knead into dough. Shape into two round loaves; place in greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Cut an X on top of each loaf; brush with remaining butter. Bake at 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks.
