Potato bread

Ingredients:

• Flour - 3 cups
• Mashed potatoes - 1/2 cup
• Water - 3/4 cup
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Instant yeast - 2 teaspoons
• Sour cream - 1/2 cup
• Bacon - 1/4 cup
• Green onions (chopped) - 1/2 cup

Preparation:

1. Chop and fry 3 slices of bacon in a frying pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, yeast, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Add the sour cream, water, green onions, and bacon, and mix well. You can also use the bacon grease left over from frying.
3. At this point, the dough will be sticky, so, while kneading thoroughly, carefully and gradually add more flour. When it's finished, it should form a ball.
4. Once you've combined all the ingredients and adjusted the flour and water balance to your liking, place the dough in a well-oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 90 minutes.
5. Remove the dough from the bowl, shape it into a loaf, place it in a greased pan and let it double in size.
6. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). If you have a baking stone, be sure to place it in the oven. Bake at 220°C (425°F) for about 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C (355°F) and bake for another half hour.
   
   Serve with soup, meat and sour cream.
