Cheesy Potato Bread

Two crusty golden-brown loaves with terrific flavor and texture are what you'll get when you try this recipe. Potatoes and cheese make an unusual but delicious combination for a yeast bread. My family loves it served with soup or stew on cold days. -Deb Amrine, Grand Haven, Michigan

1 cup half-and-half cream
5 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
1 tablespoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups finely shredded peeled potatoes

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water; let
stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add cream, 3 tablespoons butter,
salt, cayenne pepper and 2-1/2 cups flour; beat on medium for 2
minutes. Stir in potatoes and enough remaining flour to form a soft

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
8-10 minutes. (Dough will feel slightly sticky.) Place in a greased
bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place
until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch the dough down. Pat into a 1/2-in.-thick rectangle. Sprinkle
cheese evenly over dough. Fold dough over the cheese and knead into
dough. Shape into two round loaves; place in greased 9-in. round
