Recipe steps:
- Combine the active dry yeast with the warm potato water and let it foam in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the sugar, salt and 3 cups of flour. Beat well to develop the gluten in the dough.

- Add the remaining 2.5 to 3 cups of flour gradually.

- Knead the dough down in the bowl. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a ball. Place each ball in a well-greased rounded pan.
- Cover the pans and let the dough rise until it has almost doubled in size, which takes 45 to 60 minutes.
- Before baking, dust the loaves lightly with flour.
- Bake the loaves in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 35 to 40 minutes.
