Before placing dough
in loaf pans to rise, roll out, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with
cinnamon and sugar. Roll up and place in loaf pan to rise. This is a great

Ingredients:
1 package Dry yeast
1/2 cups Sugar
2 cups Warm water
1/2 cups Instant potato flakes
Ingredients to "feed" Starter:
3/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Warm water
1 teaspoon Instant potato flakes
Procedure to make Starter:
- For Starter: Dissolve yeast in
1/2 cup of warm water. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Place in glass
jar, covered loosely with foil, plastic wrap, etc. (to allow for gas
expansion). Keep at room temperature for 24 hrs. Then place starter in
refrigerator for 3-5 days.
- Feed: After starter has been
refrigerated 3-5 days, take out and feed it above mixture. Let stand out
(loosely covered) all day (8-10 hrs.). Take out 1 cup to use in making bread
and return remaining starter to refrigerator. Keep refrigerated from 3-5 days;
feed again. After feeding, take out 1 cup to use in making bread, or give to a
friend, or throw away. Starter must be fed again in 3-5 days.
Note: The starter should bubble a little after it has set out for the day
(before you feed it). If not, you can add yeast to the warm water of the
"feed". The starter will recover just fine!
