"Give us this day our daily bread."
Mix together the flour of love, made from the whole kernel (giving the all-inclusive flavor and quality), the leaven of spirit, the salt of common sense, the water of life appreciated. Let this rise in the encouraging atmosphere of patience. Knead and mold in the silence. Butter with cheerfulness and serve to the entire family.
Use for 2 loaves of bread, 3 quarts of sifted flour. nearly a quart of warm water, a level lablespoon of salt, and an ounce of compressed yeast. Dissolve the yeast in a pint of lukewarm water, then stir into it enough flour to make a thick batter. Cover the bowl containing the batter, or sponge, and set in a warm place to rise. Now stir into this sponge the salt dissolved in a little warm water, add the rest of the flour and sufficient warm water to make the dough stiff enough to knead; knead it from 5 to 10 minutes, and let raise again. When light divide into loaves, knead into shape and put into greased baking tins; cover with a doubled thick cloth, set in a warm place again and when twice their height put in oven and bake. The dough should rise and begin to brown after about 15 minutes, but only slightly. Bake from 50 to 60 minutes and have it brown all over when well baked.
Good for invalids. Three cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup white flour, 4 rounding teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 21/4 cups sweet milk. Have batter thick enough to spoon, put in greased pans, cover and let raise 1/2 hour. Bake 1 or more hours in slow oven.
