- 1 cup cooked mashed potato
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - divided
use
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (.25-ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon water
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

portions. Shape each portion of dough into a 14-inch rope. Place
ropes on a greased baking sheet (do not stretch); pinch ends
together at one end to seal. Braid ropes; pinch loose ends together
to seal. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts,
1 hour or until dough is doubled in bulk.

Brush egg white mixture over top and sides of loaf. Sprinkle
with poppy seeds.
