Mom's Potato Bread



5 pounds of Bread Flour (put half in bowl)
2 TBSP Salt
2 cups powdered milk (powder)
2 cups instant potato flakes
2/3 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 pkgs. yeast
6 cups warm water
Mix potato flakes with about 4 cups of the warm water, then add with all of the other ingredients. Mix well. Gradually add flour until stiff. Pour remaining flour on counter, pour dough into it and knead. The more you knead, the lighter the bread. Grease an extra large bowl, put dough in and lightly oil some saran wrap and cover dough. Let it rise till double in size. With greased hands, punch it down. I do this several times. Grease 5 bread pans, shape loaves, let rise in pans. Bake at 350 for approximately 30 minutes.
