1 medium potato, peeled
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 tablespoon salt
6 cups warm milk
3 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

1
Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water.

Make sure the milk mixture is warm, and add the yeast. Stir in 15 cups of whole wheat flour.

Rising time will be about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down, and knead again for 3 minutes. Place back in bowl, and allow to rise again until doubled. The second rising period should be about 1 hour.
