No-Yeast Potato Bread

A dense, moist bread merging mashed potatoes with basic pantry staples. No rising needed. Uses baking powder for lift. Cooked in a cast iron or similar vessel to get a crackly crust. A quick bread option when yeast isn’t on hand but comfort bread is wanted. Can swap vegetables oils or milks, adjust hydration slightly for stiffer or wetter dough. Score the top for controlled expansion. Baking times vary depending on pan and oven heat spots. Crowded kitchens or colder dough slows baking. The aroma is faintly buttery with a subtle tang from the potatoes. Crust crackles under knife when done. Keep wrapped and slice after cooling almost full to avoid gummy interior. Tastes good warm or toasted later.
