Old Fashion German Rye Bread or Rolls

1 package dry yeast
1/8 cup margarine
1/8 cup dark syrup or honey
3/4 cup potato water
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup mashed potatoes
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 tablespoon ground caraway seeds
1 cup rye flour

Soak yeast in 1/2 cup warm water and a little sugar. Let rise and then add 3/4 cup of potato water, syrup, margarine, salt, mashed potatoes, caraway seeds, ground caraway seeds, and rye flour to make a paste. Beat very hard, let rest until double in size. Add white bread flour until dough becomes smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with wax paper, let rise in a warm place (80 to 85 deg F.) until double in bulk. Shape into an oblong or round loaf on a greased cookie sheet, cover with towel, until double in size. Cut diagonal grooves across loaf and apply glaze made by beating one egg with 1 tablespoon cold water. Sprinkle with caraway seeds or course salt if desired. Bake at 375 deg F. for 40 to 45 minutes.

NOTE:
For rolls use same as above but form into rolls about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Cut grooves into top of each, apply glaze after rising, and bake until done, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Makes 1 loaf or 12 rolls
