Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

breads, jewish

5 teaspoon yeast, dry
2 cup potato water
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoon salt
3 egg
7 cup flour; (adjust as needed)
1/2 cup oil

Dissolve yeast in potato water. Add sugar, and let stand five minutes. Add salt and beaten eggs. Stir in four cups of the flour. Add oil, stirring while adding. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough that forms a ball and is not sticky. Put dough on a floured board. Cover with a towel and let rest 10 minutes. Knead 10 minutes. Put in a greased bowl, and let rise until it doubles (about one hour). Punch down. Braid to form two loaves and place on cookie sheets. Let rise again, approximately 50 minutes. Use a pastry brush to gently coat with a glaze made of a beaten egg and a few drops of water. Sprinkle the top with sesame seeds. Bake at 350 degrees until well done (approximately 45 to 50 minutes).
