2 cups potato water or milk 2 teaspoons sugar About 2 quarts flour.

2 teaspoons salt.

1/2 cake compressed yeast.

1/4 cup warm water.

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. To prepare the potato water, peel two medium sized potatoes and put to cook in one pint boiling water. When tender rub through a colander and add sufficient water to make two cups liquid. Cool the liquid to lukewarm, add the salt, sugar and the dissolved yeast. Warm the flour slightly in the oven and add gradually to the liquid. Stir in sufficient flour to knead well, taking care not to have a stiff dough. Stand in a warm place and let rise about one and a half hours. When light, knead down and let rise again about an hour. Knead lightly and form into loaves. Let rise in the pan about three-fourths of an hour, or until light again. Then bake about forty-five minutes. When done remove from the pans and cool. This makes two loaves.
