Zadi’s Buttermilk Potato Loaf

Side Dish 🥗Snack 🍿 American

Zadi’s Buttermilk Potato Loaf bakes up with a plush, tender crumb and a hint of buttery richness, balanced by subtle sweetness and gentle tang from dry buttermilk. The potato flakes keep it moist and soft for days, making it perfect for sandwiches, toast, or warm slices with butter. Serve for breakfast or lunch, or alongside hearty soups.

Zadi’s Buttermilk Potato Loaf
  1. 1

    In a saucepan over low heat, bring the water, butter, sugar, buttermilk powder, and salt to a simmer. Remove from the heat, stir well, and let cool to between 105 and 110 degrees F (41 to 43 degrees C). Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes, until a creamy foam forms. Stir in the instant mashed potato flakes and mix thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough paddle, and gradually work in 8 cups of bread flour, adding the flour 1 cup at a time.

  3. 3

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes, adding the remaining flour as you knead. When the dough is smooth and elastic, shape it into a ball and place it in a large greased bowl. Turn the dough to grease the top, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.

  4. 4

    Coat two 9x5 inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Punch down the dough, divide it into two pieces, and shape each into a loaf. Set the loaves in the pans, seam sides down, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  6. 6

    Bake the bread for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Transfer from the pans to a wire rack to cool.
