   2                    Pkg active dry yeast -OR-
   2      c             Starter
   1      c             Water -- warm
   6      md            Potatoes -- peeled and cubed
   1      qt            Water -- boiling
   1      c             Hops with pollen
   1      ts            Salt
   1      c             Honey
   4      c             Whole wheat flour

Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup warm water. Stir and mix the boiling
water, hops and potatoes in a large pot. Cover and simmer until the
potatoes are tender. Strain out the hops. Puree the potatoes. Add and
mix enough of the flour to make a thick batter along with salt and
honey. Stir well while you gradually heat to boiling point. Remove
mixture from heat and cool to lukewarm. Add the dissolved yeast and
stir easily. Cover and let stand at room temperature until light and
spongy. Use as needed, and reserve in a loosely covered scalded jar
or "sotz corck." Keep in refrigerator; do not freeze.
