Two-Hour Bread

Take 1 pint of lukewarm water and soak 4 Royal Yeast Cakes. Put in 4 tablespoons of Five Roses flour. Set in warm place to raise.

Cook 12 potatoes, mash and add to this 1 quart of warm water and 1 quart of cold water. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon sugar. When lukewarm mix in the yeast and set away overnight.

In the morning, warm your flour and warm half your yeast. Mix into a stiff dough. Let rise, then add 1 tablespoon salt and work down stiff, or until the dough does not stick to the hands. Let rise again and then make into loaves.

Note-Many good bread makers claim that potatoes give to their bread a silkiness of texture not obtainable any other way.
