In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, mashed potato flakes, sugar, salt,
ginger or mace, vanilla, and yeast. In medium saucepan, heat milk, water
and butter until very warm, 120 to 130 degrees. Add warm mixture,
pineapple juice and eggs to flour mixture. Blend at low speed of mixer
until moistened. Beat 4 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in 3 cups
flour to form a stiff dough. On floured surface, knead in 1/2 to 1 cup
flour until smooth and elastic, 5 to 8 minutes. Place dough in a greased
bowl turning to grease top of dough. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and
cloth towel. Let rise in a warm place, 80 to 85 degrees, until light and
doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down. Divide into 3 parts,
form each into a round ball. Place in 3 (8 or 9-inch) round cake pans that
have been well greased. Cover and let rise in a warm place until light and
doubled insize, about 1 hour. If desired, brush loaves with glaze made of
lightly beaten eggs. Also sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake at 375
degrees for 25-35 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped.
Remove loaves from pan immediately.
