Potato Bread

3 Itty Bitty mashed potatoes or the equivalent (no extra water or milk)
1/2 cup of the potato cooking fluid
1 cup of milk
3/8 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons of yeast
1/4 cup oil
Make sure this mixture is warm, between 110 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit
Pour into dry ingredients, mixing.
Dry ingredients:
4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup gluten flour
2 teaspoons of salt
Add additional whole wheat flour until firm.
Knead 6-8 minutes
Let rise until doubled in size.  To keep the bread moist, spray 2 large Ziplocs with cooking spray.  Put half of the dough into each bag and seal.  Let air out of the bag as needed.  (This also works with pizza dough!)
When risen, shape into 2 loaves and bake.  Any size bread pan will do.  They are smaller than a 9x5x3, but they will cook nicely in a pan that size. 
Bake at 325 degrees for about 35 minutes.
Crust will be firm like some old-fashioned recipes.
