Bread

By Hklbrries

Boil 2 small potatoes at noon ; when well done, drain and
mash, pouring the water back on them ; when lukewarm, add 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 cake yeast foam ; let stand in a warm place till time to set sponge in the evening, then take 6 pints warm water, and stir into it 2 sifters of flour and the yeast. Let rise over night: in the morning take 2 sifters flour, put in the bread pan, add -\ cup salt, pour in the sponge, and mix with water enough to knead to a soft dough ; cover and let rise in a warm place till very light ; knead and let rise again ; then knead into 4 loaves, put in pans, let rise again, and bake 1 hour. The surface of the dough should be greased with butter or lard each time it is left to rise.
