Mary Pat’s Bread

Feed starter in 3-7 days:

1 cup Bread Flour
3 Tbsp Instant Potato Flakes
1/2 to 3/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Warm Water

Mix ingredients together and add started. Stir well and let sit on counter overnight. I usually let mine sit out 12 hrs.

To Make Bread:

5 1/2 cup Flour
1 Tbsp. Salt
3/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Starter
1/2 cup Oil
1 1/2 cup Warm Water

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and let rise in a warm place covered with a dish towel. (I put mine in the oven and hope I don’t forget and turn the oven on.) Let rise covered for about 12 hours; then divide into loaves and let rise again (about 12 hours). Cook at 350.

(I spray my bread pans with cooking spray – and the top of the bread too.)
