Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon dry yeast
9 tablespoons granulated sugar -- (1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp)
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water -- (110F, from cooking potatoes)
3/4 cup butter -- softened -- (1 1/2 sticks)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
1 cup mashed potatoes -- (note)
6 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- approx
Note: 5 small potatoes, 2 medium or 1 large
Boil unskinned potatoes until easily pierced with the tip of a knife.
Remove potatoes from water (reserving water), and let sit till
they're cool enough to handle. Peel potatoes and mash them. Set aside.
Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in lukewarm potato water.
Beat in butter, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, salt, eggs and potato. Stir
in enough flour to make a dough suitable for kneading.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth
and elastic, about 10 minutes. Or, knead in a mixer equipped with a
dough hook for 5 minutes, or in a food processor for 90 seconds to 2 minutes.
Place kneaded dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Set
bowl in the refrigerator overnight; for maximum flavor, we like to
refrigerate it for about 16 hours.
Remove dough from refrigerator and shape to fit 3 medium-sized (8 1/2
x 4 1/2-inch) loaf pans, or 1 medium-sized and 1 large (10 x 5") loaf
pan, or 8 mini (6 x 3 1/2") loaf pans. Let rise until doubled in
bulk, about 4 hours (remember, dough is cold from refrigerator, and
will take longer to rise).
Bakes loaves in a preheated 375F oven for 45 minutes, or until bread
tests done. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
Makes 23 - 25 rolls
