3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. butter
1/4 tsp. salt
2/3 c. instant mashed potato flakes
1 pkg. active yeast
1/4 c. warm water
2 eggs
3 1/2 - 4 c. flour

In small saucepan combine milk, butter, salt and sugar. Heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat. Stir in potato flakes. Cool to lukewarm.

In large bowl sprinkle yeast over warm water. Stir until dissolved, add potato mixture and eggs, beat until smooth. Beat in enough flour to make a soft sticky dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, 10 to 15 minutes, adding more flour when necessary to prevent dough from sticking to board.

Shape into smooth ball, place in lightly greased clean bowl. Grease top of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down and turn onto board, knead for a few minutes.

Shape into round loaf and place in greased 8 1/2" x 3" round pan. Grease top of dough. Cover and let rise in warm place 45 minutes. Turn out of pan and cool on wire rack. Makes 1 round loaf of bread.
