Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pk Active dry yeast
1/2 c Warm potato water
1/2 c Milk
1/2 c Butter or margarine
1 c Sourdough Starter
1/4 c Sugar
2 ts Salt
4 1/2 c To 5 all-purpose flour
Butter -- melted (opt)

Dissolve yeast in potato water; let set until foamy, 5
to 10 min. Heat milk and 1/2 c butter or margarine
until just melted; cool to lukewarm. Combine starter,
yeast mixture, milk mixture, sugar and salt. Add flour
to make a stiff dough; knead until smooth and elastic.
Place in a greased bowl; turn dough to coat surface.
Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts,
until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down dough; cover
and let rest 10 minutes. Shape into rolls. Place on a
greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm
place, free from from drafts, until doubled, about 45
minutes. If desired, brush with melted butter or
margarine before baking in a preheated 375F oven for
12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 3 to 4
dozen.

Notes: I skipped the last optional butter step and
used plain warm water and they turned out well but did
not rise too much. Take it for what it's worth.
