1 c. milk
1/4 c. butter, softened
2 pkg. dry yeast
1 1/2 c. warm water
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 c. potato flakes
6 - 7 c. unsifted all purpose flour

Heat together milk and butter to scalding. Cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Add cooled milk, sugar and salt. Stir in potato flakes and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead on floured surface 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and satiny. Cover. Let rise in warm place until doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes. Punch down and divide in half; shape into 2 loaves. Place in well - greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Let rise again 30 to 45 minutes. Bake 45 to 50 minutes at 375 degrees until deep golden brown. If desired, brush crusts with additional butter while warm. Yields 2 loaves.
