Hooray! I love that you tell us in the instructions to just snack on the leftover potato =D hehe. And also I’m looking forward to hearing more about your unifying thesis about enriched breads! Since you mentioned that you felt like the instructions needed a little polish, I hope it’s ok that I take that as an open invitation for feedback (sorry, I’m in editor mode from reading a colleague’s manuscript yesterday). First read through, here are my initial thoughts/questions: 1) the note about additional water/milk if needed is if the potato water isn’t enough to make the mass listed, correct? I think it took me a couple read throughs to decide that was what was meant, rather than “if needed” to titrate the dough to the correct hydration during mixing later. It might be helpful to say “if needed to make the 265g”. 2) there’s a typo in step 7: “For burger or hot dog buns, divide into 2 equally-sized pieces, about 95g each...” - I think it is supposed to be 12 pieces? And 3) this is a silly point, but when you say “floury potatoes” I rationally know you mean russet or similar, but I emotionally would love to have a note to list that or a couple other acceptable potatoes (ie can Yukon gold be ok??). Thanks for listening!

Seconding the request to check the math in step 7. The total weight of dough is either 190g, 1170g, 800g, or 1200g depending on which shape you choose.

I am making the bread right now, and I noticed that adding the honey has been left out of the instructions. Based on previous recipes, I added it with the water. Thanks for the recipe! My family is super excited about it.

I had trouble with hydration, probably due to the use of potato flakes substituted for the cooked potato. Dough was dry, then lumpy from the potato flakes, which I hydrated with the extra water called for in the substitution. I incorporated the other ingredients with the addition of more water, then had to add flour a bit at a time due to overcorrection. After much mechanical kneading with the dough hook, finally had a smooth, silky, elastic dough with a lovely color from the turmeric. Waiting for the loaves to proof now. Dough was easy to handle in the final shaping. Now in the oven and looking forward to the final result.

Happy to try this! Minor typo in #7: you've got hotdog buns twice. I assume the first instance can be deleted.
