Ingredients:

  • 2 (1/4 oz) packages active dry yeast
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 8 -10 cups flour

Directions:

  1. Dissolve yeast in potato water. Stir in the 3 tablespoons sugar, potatoes, and ginger. Cover; let rise until doubled.
  2. Scald milk; add salt and cool to lukewarm.
  3. In small bowl of electric mixer, beat eggs; gradually beat in the 1-3/4 cups sugar. Stir into yeast mixture. Add butter and mix well.
  4. Stir in 2 cups of the flour, then the milk. Add 2 more cups of the flour; beat 5 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough.
  5. Place on lightly floured board and knead in remaining flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top of dough. Cover; let rise until dough is doubled.

  8. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes or until done.
