1. 1

   STARTER: To make the starter place the potato slices in a bowl. Pour the boiling water over the potato slices. Stir in cornmeal, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set the bowl in a warm place (such as gas oven with pilot light on or an electric oven with the interior light on), not covered for about 24 hours to develop the starter.

2. 2

   DOUGH: Strain the starter mixture and discard the potato. Add enough water to make 1 3/4 cups of liquid. Add dry yeast and stir to dissolve. Stir in 3 cups of the flour, milk, oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the baking soda. Beat well. Cover and let rise in a warm place until very light, about 1 hour. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough.
