Tender Potato Bread

Daring Bakers Challange #2.

Potato bread has a sentimental place in my heart. When I was growing up, my mother would make potato bread. She would turn it into cinnamon rolls and make scones for dinner. Not those english scones that remind you of a biscuit but a fried bread scone that came out all warm and bread like, served with butter and jam. My mom always said she could live on bread and butter. Add some chocolate for dessert and I, too, could live on bread and butter.
So I thought this would be a perfect time to make potato bread. Rolls for Thanksgiving, and pizza dough for our dinner on Thanksgiving eve. A time to reflect and bake bread.
This bread produced a sticky dough that was a little hard to handle. I originally wanted to make bread knots but quickly changed my mind when I got to the shaping of the knots. I didnt want to fight with the dough, so basic round rolls for me. If you cant beat 'em, join 'em!
This recipe was suppose to make one large loaf and one small loaf. I did something wrong though. I ended up with 12 rolls, a small loaf, and a pizza crust. My rolls could of used more dough. The pizza was great! Thats the empty pizza pan that my little loaf is on. The little loaf was gobbled up the next day as leftovers. I still have some of the rolls. I'm thinking of bread pudding.
This bread will be made again on some lazy, rainy day. The ingredients are things I usually have on hand. Pretty much potatos, flour, and yeast.


Thank you to Tanna of my kitchen in half cups for this challange.
