Potato Yeast Bread

FIRST PRIZE FALL FAIR I took 1st prize for my bread at the Fall Fair this year, also for plain biscuits.

At noon when getting dinner, pour the potato water over 2 tablespoons of Five Roses flour, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar. Add 2 boiled potatoes mashed and 1 dipper boiling water. Put this aside until it cools. Then I add 1 yeast cake which has been soaked for 20 minutes in a cup of lukewarm water, and stir well for 2 minutes. Then I cover it and set aside in a moderately warm place until 10 o'clock at night.

Put into bread tray 3 sifters Five Roses flour and pour the first mixture into it. Then work in all the flour for 20 minutes or more until it will not stick to the hands. Then cover up tight and warm.

At 5 o'clock in the morning it is ready to mix down. Then cover up again for 1 hour. Form into loaves and set to rise for 1 hour. Then bake 1 hour in moderately hot oven. -Mrs. Andrew Henderson, Seaforth, Ont.
