The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
5 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 packages active dry or rapid rise yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup butter or margarine
3 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup mashed cooked potato, at room temperature*
SUGAR AND SPICE TOPPING
1 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
directions
In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt.
Heat water and butter until very warm (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F). Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.
Add eggs and potato; beat 2 minutes at high speed. With spoon, stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough.
Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. (For rapid rise yeast, cover kneaded dough; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes. Proceed with recipe.)
Meanwhile, combine ingredients for topping. Blend well.
Punch dough down. On lightly floured surface, divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll to fit 2 greased 9- x 13-inch baking pans or 2 greased 12-inch pizza pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
With finger, make indentations in dough at 1-inch intervals. Sprinkle topping evenly over dough, filling indentations.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Switch the positions of pans on oven racks halfway through baking time for even browning. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
