   Wrap the potato in plastic wrap and microwave (at 500 W for 5 minutes).
2. 2
   Add in one teaspoon milk (not listed), and mash until smooth.
3. 3
   Add in milk little by little so the dough doesn't become too loose.

   Place all of the ingredients aside from those marked into the bread maker and press start!

   Leave the first rising up to the bread maker.
6. 6
   Divide the dough into 4 portions after it is done, and roll into balls.

   Cover with a dampen cloth and rest for 15 minutes.

   Reshape the balls, and arrange in a lightly-greased bread pan.

   Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise for a second time for about 50 minutes on your oven's proofing setting, until doubled in size.

    After fermenting, sift the joshinko on the dough, slice the tops of the bread, and lay the pats butter on top.
11. 11
    Bake in 180C oven for 30 minutes, and it's done.
12. 12
    Cover with aluminum foil if it looks like the top is going to burn.
13. 13
    The baked bread is really fluffy, so take care not to squish it when removing it from the pan.
14. 14
    I baked this loaf in two batches.
15. 15
    It only takes 30 minutes to for the second proof, so I recommend using a one loaf bread pan when you are short on time.
