Bread With Potatoes.

Peel, boil and mash four good-sized
potatoes and pour onto them one
quart of boiling water; strain the
whole through sieve, let this get
blood warm and then stir in a yeast
cake dissolved in one cupful of warm
water, one spoonful of white sugar,
the same amount of salt and three
quarts and pint of flour. Beat we'll
with a wooden spoon and set in a
warm place to rise. This will take
about four hours in summer and one
hour more in winter. Put one pint of
flour on your kneading board and turn
the dough on it, and also put one
spoonful of lard on it, then knead it
about twenty minutes, using up the
pint of flour. Put the dough into the
pan again and let rise an hour, then
form into loaves. Let the loaves be
small and rise again for little over
half an hour, and then bake for forty
five minutes. OF course, you will have
to bake the bread In the afternoon, as
it must not be left to rise so long as
overnight. Make It in the morning.
II Is most excellent bread.
