500 grams bread flour (I like King Arthur Unbleached Bread flour; best to weigh flour but it is equivalent to about 3 ½ cup using the “spoon and level” method)
200 grams mashed potatoes (boíl potatoes, remove skin, mash and then weigh; about ¾ cup packed + 1 additional tbsp)
150 grams sugar (about 2/3 cup)
100 grams lard (about ½ cup packed minus 1 tsp)
3 large eggs, room temperature
3.5 grams grams table salt (a bit less than 1/2 tsp)
40 grams warm water (about 3 tbsp)
7 grams dried active yeast (one ¼ oz packet, equivalent to 2 ¼ tsp) or 15 grams fresh yeast (as in original recipe)
zest of one lemon (optional, but, come to think of it, I think I prefer it without)
