Long-Keeping Mashed Potato Loaf
It is the mashed potato folded into the dough that keeps this loaf's crumb soft for days, lifted by a discreet touch of nutmeg. The potatoes cook in the microwave in a MicroCook casserole, and everything else happens inside the closed Ultra Pro.

Ingredients
Method
Cut the potatoes into cubes and put them in the Tupperware MicroCook round casserole 1.5 l with the 200 ml water. Cover and microwave for 15 minutes at 600 W, then leave for 5 minutes. Drain, keeping the cooking water, and mash, adding a splash of that water if needed to reach 280 to 300 g of purée.
In a small bowl, combine the yeast, lukewarm water and sugar. Wait a few minutes, then stir until fully dissolved.
In a large bowl, bring together the mashed potato, the yeast mixture, flour, margarine, milk, salt and nutmeg, and stir with a spoon.
Knead the dough for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, folding it over itself; it stays sticky, which is normal.
Lightly grease the cleaned bowl, add the dough and turn it to coat it in oil. Close the bowl and leave to rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
Knock the dough back briefly, shape it into a ball and place it in the Ultra Pro 3.5 l. Close it and let it rise again for about 35 minutes, until doubled. Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
Brush the surface with a little water using a silicone brush.
Bake covered for 40 to 45 minutes, lifting the lid off halfway through.
