STARTER:

3 pkgs. dry yeast
2 c. real warm water
3 tbsp. instant potatoes
3/4 c. sugar
1 c. plain flour

BREAD:

1 c. starter
1 1/2 c. warm water
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. Crisco or oil
1 tbsp. salt
6 c. plain flour

Always use a wood or plastic spoon. Dissolve 3 packages dry yeast in a large glass jar with 1 cup real warm water. Do not use hot water. Refrigerate for 3 days and add 1 cup warm water, instant potatoes, 3/4 cup sugar and 1 cup plain flour. Let jar stand outside of refrigerator for 12 hours. Place jar in a large plastic bowl as the starter may rise out of jar. Then refrigerate until you want to make bread. For bread, mix 1 cup starter and other ingredients. Mix well and cover with a damp cloth overnight. The next morning, work dough down good. Make into 3 loaves. Put in well greased pan. Brush top with Crisco or oil. Let rise until double in bulk. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
