Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 3 cup bread flour

If you’re concerned about dietary needs, you can substitute bread flour with gluten-free flour and honey with maple syrup or any other natural sweetener.
How To Make No Knead Potato Bread
- First, combine your bread flour, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Add the honey and warm water gradually as you stir in the dry ingredients. Make sure the dough comes together and is sticky to the touch.
- Integrate the mashed potato into the dough. After it’s fully mixed in, cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough sit undisturbed for an hour. The dough should double in size in this time.
- Preheat your oven to around 450 degrees Fahrenheit and grease your loaf pan. Transfer your rested dough to the loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips For The Best Results
- Use freshly cooked potato for the best flavor.
- Ensure your yeast is active and not expired.
- Don’t rush the resting process. Allow the dough to Rest!
Storage Tips
- Store in a bread box for up to 5 days.
- Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw completely before reheating.
