Title: Potato Bread With Chives
Categories: Breads
Yield: 2 Loaves

2 1/4 ts Active dry yeast (1 pkg)
1 c Water; warm
1 ts Natural sugar or maple syrup
2 tb Neutral vegetable oil
2 ts Salt
1 c Mashed potatoes; cold
1 c Plain non-dairy milk;
- unsweetened
5 c All-purpose flour;
- more for kneading
1/4 c Fresh chives; minced

In a large bowl, combine the yeast and 1/4 cup water. Add the sugar
and stir to dissolve. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, then stir
in the remaining 3/4 cup water, oil, and salt. Mix in the potatoes,
then stir in the nondairy milk. Add about half of the flour, stirring
to combine, then work in the remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
Transfer to a lightly floured board.

Lightly flour your hands and work surface. Knead the dough well until
it is smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes, using more flour as
necessary so the dough does not stick. Place in a lightly oiled large
bowl and turn over once to coat with oil. Cover with a clean kitchen
towel or a piece of lightly oiled plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm
place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours.

Lightly oil a large baking sheet or two 5x9" loaf pans. Punch the
dough down and knead lightly. Turn out onto a lightly floured work
surface, sprinkle with the chives, and knead until the dough is
elastic and the chives are well distributed, 3 to 5 minutes. Shape
the dough into 2 loaves and place on the prepared baking sheet or in
the loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a clean, damp towel or lightly
oiled p lastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place and let rise again
until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400?F. Use a sharp knife to cut an X
into the top of e loaves. Bake on the center oven rack until golden
brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Tap on the bottom of the loaves--if they
sound hollow, the bread is done. Remove from the sheet and let cool
briefly on a wire rack before slicing.
