Steps:
- Mix 1 Tbs. flour, 1 Tbs. sugar, and yeast in your KitchenAid mixing bowl.
- Add warm water. Stir, and let it rest for about 5 min.
- Once the yeast mixture is looking creamy and bubbly, add the oil, sugar, potatoes, and salt. Stir.
- Add 4 c. of flour and knead on low speed.
- Continue kneading for 4 minutes on speed 2, slowly adding flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- When finished kneading, the sides of the bowl should be looking fairly clean. Drizzle a bit of oil into the side of the bowl and let the mixer spread the oil to grease the sides.
- Lightly cover the dough with a dish towel, and let it rest to rise for about an hour.
- Grease 2 9x5" loaf pans.
- Punch dough down. Butter your hands and knead the dough for about a minute. Divide the dough in half and shape it into two loaves. Poke the tops with a fork to remove air bubbles.
- Place loaves into greased pans. Cover with a towel and allow them to rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have risen about 1 inch above the pans.
- Preheat your oven to 350°. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
- Allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes, brush the tops with butter, and remove from the pans. Enjoy a delicious slice of warm fresh bread!
- Store in airtight bags. And you can freeze one loaf to keep it fresh.

Steps:

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
- Make sure the yeast is active before using it. To do this, dissolve it in warm water with a pinch of sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. If it doesn't foam up, it's not active and you should use a new packet.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour and give the bread a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and crusty. This will take about 30-40 minutes.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Amish white bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be used for sandwiches, toast, or even French toast. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a delicious and wholesome bread, give Amish white bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
