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.

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.

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.

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.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
