Welcome to Fast2eat! If youâre looking for easy-to-prepare, nutritious, delicious, and Fast-2-eat recipes, then youâre in the right place.
This potato bread recipe includes blue cheese for a burst of sharp flavour and onion for an added boost. If you love blue cheese, you will love this bread recipe.
I have added some potato flakes to this recipe to give the loaf a bit more body. If you havenât used potato in bread, you must! It gives it such a good texture. Potato bread is a deliciously dense, firm bread that is a comfort to eat on a chilly day.
If you want, you can top the bread with blue cheese crumbs towards the end of the baking cycle in your bread machine to give the loaf a blue-cheesy finish.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups Milk - or water + Œ cup dry milk - lukewarm 27-32°C/80-90°F
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Butter -
room temperature or Margarine
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 3/4 cup Instant Mashed Potato Flakes
- 1 tbsp Onion powder - or onion powder
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Blue cheese - 60g/2oz
- 1 1/4 tsp Active dry yeast
Instacart is available in the US only at the moment.
Instructions
- Attach the kneading blade in the Bread Maker pan.
- Place ingredients into the bread pan following the recipe order (or following the order and method specified in your Bread Maker manual â mine is: FIRST, liquid ingredients; SECOND, dry ingredients; LAST, yeast). Note: With a finger or a knife, make a small indentation in the middle of the flour. Add yeast to indentation, making sure it does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients.
- Carefully insert the bread pan into the bread maker and gently close the lid.
- Select âBasicâ bread setting. If available, choose crust colour (I usually set Medium, but if you prefer, set Light or Dark) and loaf size (1.5LB) and Press the Start button.
- It will mix and bake the bread. When the baking cycle is complete, press the stop button and unplug the breadmaker.
- Open the lid and while using Oven Mitt, firmly grasp the bread pan handle and gently pull the pan straight up and out of the machine. CAUTION: The Bread Maker and pan may be very hot! Always handle with care.
- Use non-stick Spatula to gently loosen the sides of the bread from the pan.
- Turn the bread pan upside down onto a Wire Cooling Rack or clean cooking surface and gently shake until bread falls out onto the rack.
- Cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- To make perfect slices every time, use a Bread Slicer with an Electric Knife.

Notes
- If itâs too dry, add lukewarm liquid a teaspoon at a time until it looks right.
- If it looks too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks right.
- If there is flour on the sides of the pan, use a Silicone Spatula to wipe the flour from the pan.
Weather can affect your ingredients If you live in a moist climate, chances are youâll need at least the recommended amount of flour, maybe even 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup more. Bread dough should be sticky but still manageable, especially after the first rise. While youâre kneading, the dough should come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl, leaving the bowl mostly clean. I usually aim to have the very bottom of the dough still attached to the bowl. Try not to add too much flour because your bread will be denser. When you pick the dough up, some will stick to your fingers. After the first rise, it will be easier to handle!
You may also make this bread without the aid of a bread machine or make the dough in a bread machine and bake it in the oven. Simply make the dough using your usual method (by hand, electric mixer or bread machine); allow it to rise until puffy, then shape it into a log; and place it in a lightly greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch (21.5 x 11.5 cm) bread pan. Allow the loaf to rise, covered, until it's crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan. If you want, brush the risen loaf with the beaten egg white, and sprinkle it with seeds. Bake it in a preheated 350°F/175°C oven for 35 minutes, or until its interior temperature registers 190°F/88°C on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the bread from the oven, remove it from the pan, and cool it on a wire rack.
How can you tell if the bread is fully baked? I like to use a food thermometer. Mine is digital, so itâs very easy to use. Fully cooked bread will be 190-200°F/88-93°C. Bread recipes that include milk will need to cook until 200°F/93°C, but without you can take it out once it reaches 190°F/88°C. The top will be golden brown.
