Another Way Recipe
Weigh four pounds of raw potatoes pared; boil them in five pints of
water. Wash and rub them through a sieve with the water in which they
were boiled. Add four table-spoonfuls of good brown sugar; when
milk-warm, put to the mixture three pennyworth of fresh yest; stir it
well, and let it work in an open vessel. It will be fit for use in about
twelve or fourteen hours.
About a pint and a half of this mixture will raise eighteen pounds of
coarse flour; it may be put to rise over-night and will be ready to
knead the first thing in the morning. It should be left to rise in the
loaf four or five hours, before it is put in the oven.
