TO MAKE THE FAMOUS FRENCH BREAD

Pare and cut in slices two medium-sized potatoes. Cook until very
soft in three cups of water. When cooked rub through a sieve and cool.
There must be two cups of this mixture. When the mixture is about 80
degrees Fahrenheit, pour in the mixing bowl and add

One yeast cake crumbled in,
One-half ounce of shortening (1 tablespoon),
One ounce of sugar (2 tablespoons),
Three-fourths ounce of salt (2 teaspoons).

Stir to thoroughly dissolve and then add eight cups of flour. Work
to a dough and then proceed as in the straight dough method. When the
dough is ready for the pans, cut or divide into six pieces and mould
into loaves, three inches thick and twelve inches long, and set to
rise like the Vienna bread, then bake, using the same method.


RYE BREAD
