4 cups water
2 tablespoons syrup
2 tablespoons fat
1 teaspoons salt
About 12 cups (3 lbs. flour)
The fat may be omitted if desired, and the bread, while not quite so tender, will still be palatable and satisfactory.
1 cup sweet milk
2 teaspoons syrup 1/2 cake yeast
1 teaspoon fat 1 teaspoon salt About 3 cups flour
4 cups sweet milk 2 tablespoons syrup 1 cake yeast
4 teaspoons fat 4 teaspoons salt About L2 cups Hour
1 cup sweet milk
2 tablespoons sorghum poon fat poon salt 2 1/4 cups unsifted Graham or whole wheat flour 1/4 cup chopped prunes
Scald milk, remove from stove and cool. Add the sorghum, fat and salt, then lightly break in the yeast, allowing to stand until yeast rises to top of liquid. Put in the flour, and before mixing drop the prunes into it. Beat vigorously, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk.
Beat again and turn into well greased loaf or gem pans. Let rise until not quite doubled in bulk and bake. If gem pans are used, thirty-five minutes baking will be sufficient; if loaf pan, bake one hour. Altho coarse in texture, this bread is palatable and wholesome.
1 cup sweet milk 1 tablespoon syrup 1/4 cake yeast
2 teaspoons fat 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup white flour
2 cups Graham or whole wheat flour
The addition of white flour makes a lighter loaf than one made entirely of the whole wheat or Graham. If a still lighter loaf is desired, sifted whole wheat or Graham may be used (the bran sifted out should be saved for other use) and the bread will closely resemble that sold on the market under that name.
1 cup sweet milk or
1 cup prune juice
2 tablespoons sorghum 1/2 cake yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup unsifted Graham flour 1 cup bran 1/2 cup chopped figs or prunes
Use chopped prunes with the prune juice, and figs with the milk. This is especially good for anyone suffering from constipation.

1 teaspoon fat 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup white flour
About 2 cups rye flour
1 cup oatmeal or rolled oats
