List of Ingredients

3 pkg. dry yeast
1 c. lukewarm water
1 qt. scalded milk
2 c. mashed potatoes (no milk added)
1 c. fat (half butter, half margarine)
1 c. sugar
6 c. flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp. salt
11 to 12 c. additional flour




Recipe

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Mix in large bowl scalded milk, mashed potatoes, fat and sugar. Let cool to lukewarm, then add yeast mixture and 6 cups flour. Let stand until mixture foams up (about 20 minutes), then add beaten eggs, salt and additional flour. More flour may be needed, but dough should be soft. Turn out on floured board and knead until satiny. Let rise in warm place until doubled. Shape dough as desired for rolls. Place on greased pans and bake at 400 degrees on lower rack about 7 minutes, then move to upper rack for 7 minutes more. Brush lightly with butter.
