Tips for Baking Bread

Start as early as you can, it will take aprox. 1.5 hours for the dough to double its size.
Make sure your water is the correct temperature, ideally 40-46 deg C (105 deg F to 115 deg F).
If the water is too warm it will kill the yeast, too cold and the yeast will not rise correctly.

Don't try to rush things, wait for the dough to rise properly before putting it in the oven.


Kneading the Dough

Dust your work area with flour, place the dough on the surface and dust with more flour.

Start from the part of the dough closest to you and use the heel of your hands to push down and away from you.
Turn the dough 90% and take the far end of the dough and fold it in towards you.
Push it down and away from you. Repeat this process until the dough feels smooth and stretchy and no longer sticks to your fingers.

Doughnuts

 

Ingredients

1 pt mashed potatoes
3 eggs
1 cup warm potato water
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
1 cup butter



 

Preparation

Mash potatoes while they are still hot. Add the butter, sugar, beaten
eggs, vanilla and salt. Add the potato water. In another bowl, mix 1
cup lukewarm water and 2 tbsp. yeast and 1 tsp. sugar. Let rise for
several minutes then add to potato mixture. Mix with flour in a large
bowl. Knead until the dough is not sticky. Let it rise until the next
morning. Roll it out and cut with a doughnut cutter. If you prefer
bigger doughnuts, turn a small bowl that has a sharp cutting edge
upside down. Let the doughnuts rise until double in size. Fry in deep
fat.
