[email protected] (Dr. Albert Hybl) Preliminaries:- =============== Peel 6-8 potatoes, wash and cut into chunks having no edge longer than about 1 inch. Place potato chunks into a presure cooker with slightly more that one cup of water and steam cook for about 8 minutes. Cool cooker with cold water. Drain and SAVE the potato water. Add salt, butter, and a small amount of milk to the steamed potato chunks and mash until smooth. Stir 1 package of dry yeast in 1/2 cup of the potato water to which 1 T. of honey was added. (Take care that the water is not too hot.) Let stand. Place 1/4 cup of Fleishmann's Sweet unsalted 100% Corn oil spread or equivalent shortening into the microwave and heat (on low) until it becomes a soft liquid. Place 1 whole egg and one egg yolk into a bowl and beat until smooth in texture. Mixing and kneading in a Cuisinart:- ==================================== Into the Cuisinart, add: 1/2 c. mashed potatoes 1 1/2 eggs (beaten) 3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 1/4 c. soft (melted) margarine 1/2 c. sugar 1/2 c. milk 1 t. salt 1/2 c. activated yeast mixture 1/8 t. mace The above indicated quantity of flour is about 1 cup less than what will actually be needed. Mix until the dough becomes a gooey paste. Then add incremental portions of extra flour to the Cuisinart and continue mixing -- this is equivalent to kneading. Add flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Transfer the dough to a floured bowl; cover and let rise for about 1 hour; you can put it into the refrigerator until the next day. Prepare the fillings. Baking open-faced kolaches: =========================== Form ping-pong sized balls from the dough, place on a greased cookie sheet. Brush with melted butter, cover and let rise until double in size. Press down the center only and insert about 1 T. filling. Cover and let rise. Bake 8-10 minutes at 450 degrees F; take out of oven when they are golden brown. One batch of dough will make about 4 dozen open-faced kolaches. Baking diapered squares:- ========================== Turn dough onto light
