One cup scalded milk, one cup of boiling water, one table-spoonful of lard, one tablespoonful of butter, one and a half teaspoonfuls of salt. One yeast cake dissolved in one-quarter cup lukewarm water, six cups sifted flour, or one cup white flour and enough entire wheat flour to knead.

Prepare and bake as water bread. When entire wheat flour is used add three tablespoonfuls molasses. Bread may be mixed, raised, and baked in five hours, by using one yeast cake. Bread made in this way has proved most satisfactory. It is usually mixed in the morning, and the cook is able to watch the dough while rising and keep it at uniform temperature. It is often desirable to place bowl containing dough in pan of water, keeping water at uniform temperature of from 950 to 100° F.
