Mom's Cheese Bread

Mom invented this because Dad always bragged that his mother could do wonderful things with potatoes. I've never seen a recipe anywhere close to this. It's more of a side dish than a bread, but whatever----it's a keeper.





List of Ingredients



• 1 recipe bread dough*
  
• 2 cups mashed potatoes, leftovers are fine
  
• 1 cup grated sharp cheese plus extra for topping
  
• 1/2 cup milk
  
• Salt and pepper to taste
  
• Butter
  
• *Mom used hot roll mix; I've used frozen bread dough, thawed;
  
• the best dough is half a recipe of my sourdough bread.
  






Instructions



1. Prepare dough. Let it rise. Flatten to fit a greased 13x9x2" pan. Dough should be about 1/4-3/8" deep and halfway up the sides of the pan.
   
2. Mix remaining ingredients. Spread over dough. Let rise about 20 minutes.
   
3. Sprinkle with more cheese, a little milk and salt and pepper. Dot with butter. Bake at 400 degrees about 40 minutes or until dough is baked and potatoes have a light brown shine.
   
4. Let stand 20 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve hot or at room temperature.
   






Final Comments


Wonderful with roast pork.

I often make this when I have leftover mashed potatoes the day I make bread. The potato water works well as the liquid for bread, too.

My sister Jane brings this to parties. It's a good recipe for occasions when you have to bring a dish.

I imagine that pizza dough or foccacia would work OK, although the foccacia would certainly add new herb flavorings.
