ADD, TO GET PROPER DOUGH

Follow heading directions. Let dough rise til double. Punch down and shape into rolls or loaves. Rolls should be 1 1/2oz - 2oz. This recipe will do 2 = 1 1/2lb loaves. Bake on greased bread pans or pie tins. The tops of the bread can be brushed with an egg wash and sprinkled with the large crystal sugar(coarse looks like pretzel salt in appearance). Bake until done. at 350 degrees.

Note: This is a good way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. Just warm them a little in the microwave. Note: Make sure the potatoes have a good flavor before you mix them in. This way it will not pull away from the other flavors and end up with a bland bread.

This is very good if done correctly. chefs JDE/KWC during T-lee years.
