Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1-3/4 cups warm fat-free milk (110° to 115°)
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter)
3 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

1

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, potatoes, sugar, salt, whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
2

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3

Punch dough down and turn onto a floured surface; shape into a loaf. Place in a 9x5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spay. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire rack to cool.
