Potato Bread with Poppy Seeds

Potato Bread Recipe: Makes 2 loaves2 cups warm water (~110° F)
5 1/2 cups (570 g.) strong bread flour
1 cup All Purpose or Whole Wheat flour
2 T. dry active, instant yeast
1 1/4 cups (225 g.) potatoes, mashed
1 T. butter or olive oil, melted
dash of salt (if none was already added to potatoes)
Sift all dry together and make a small well to add the oil/butter and slowly add the water, stirring until forming a ball. Don’t add all the water unless necessary, you want your dough to pull off the sides and form a ball. Rest for 15 minutes and then knead for 5-10 minutes by hand. If making two loaves, divide evenly and shape into logs, placing in your greased bread loaf pans. Let rise for 1 hour or until double in size. If topping with poppy or sesame seeds, brush with an egg. milk, or butter and lightly top. Preheat your oven to 375°/175° and bake for 30-40 minutes depending on the size of your loaves. You want a beautiful golden brown color. Cool completely to let the bread set and crust to form, then serve and enjoy!!!

Jessica, here they call bread flour "strong" because it has a higher gluten content and makes the dough stronger than using all purpose! So, it is simple bread flour, which is naturally stronger
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks to everyone for the compliments, I appreciate them so much!
My mom used to make potato bread all the time when I was growing up, but I've never made my own loaf. I think it's time! Thanks for an awesome recipe
Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe, can't wait to try it! I was wondering what is "strong" bread flour. I am a new baker and have never heard of it. Thanks!
I'm featuring your recipe today in my weekly showcase. Thanks so much for sharing it!
Thanks everyone for your comments!!!
@Katie, I only have one window in my house so I usually set up an open box like structure in front of the window or even outside on a table (depending on the whether. The box is made from white canvas, very basic and very simple since we don't have too many resources here! Pictures are also always best in morning -ish light so it is not so harsh. I hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by!
Your bread looks amazing! Your photos are so fantastic. I was wondering what kind of set up you use to get such awesome lighting? Thanks!
I don't think I have ever made potato bread, I know I have bought. Really great sounding recipe, gonna have to try your recipe this week. Thanks for sharing, and yes we do always seem to have leftover potatoes and this will be another great way to use them up.
I've never tried potato bread, but your bread looks really yummy, and so soft!
