    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3               cups  cubed peeled baking potato -- (about 1 lb)
    2 1/4      teaspoons  dry yeast -- (1 pkg)
    5 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour -- divided
    2          teaspoons  salt
       3/4      teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
    1                cup  shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese -- (4 oz)
       3/4           cup  grated Asiago cheese -- (3 oz)
                          Cooking spray

1. Place potato in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil. 
Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Drain in a 
colander over a bowl, reserving 1 1/4 cups cooking liquid. Cool 
liquid to 110F. Mash the potato with a potato masher to measure 2 
cups; set aside.

2. Combine warm cooking liquid and yeast in a large bowl, and let 
stand 5 minutes. Stir in the mashed potato. Lightly spoon flour into 
dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Gradually stir in 5 cups 
flour, salt, and pepper to form a stiff dough.

3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth 
and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 
tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands. Gently 
knead in cheddar and Asiago.

4. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to 
coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85F), free from drafts, 
30 minutes or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into 
dough. If indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.) Punch 
dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes. Divide dough in half. 
Working with one portion at a time (cover the remaining dough to 
prevent drying), roll each portion into an 11 x 7" rectangle on a 
floured surface. Roll up each rectangle tightly, starting with a long 
edge, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets, and pinch seam and 
ends to seal. Place dough rolls, seam sides down, in 2 (8 x 4") loaf 
pans coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise 45 minutes or 
until doubled in size.

5. Preheat oven to 375F.

6. Uncover dough; bake at 375F for 1 hour or until loaves are browned 
on bottom and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pans; cool on a wire rack.

Yield: 2 loaves, 12 slices per loaf (serving size: 1 slice).

NOTES: Mashed potatoes make an especially tender bread that's great 
for sandwiches. Make sure the potato cooking liquid is warm to the 
touch so it will activate the yeast. This recipe makes two loaves. 
Keep one of them for yourself, and wrap the other in a pretty kitchen 
towel secured with a ribbon or raffia.
