VICTORIA SANDWICH.
Proceed the same as in "Sponge Cake Roly-Poly," but bake the mixture
in 2 round, flat tins; spread jam on one, and cover with the other
cake.
WHOLEMEAL BREAD (FERMENTED).
This will be found useful where a large family has to be provided for,
or where it is desirable to bake bread for several days. 7 lbs. of
Allinson wholemeal, 2-1/2 pints of warm water (about 85° Faht.), 1
teaspoonful salt, 1/2 oz. of yeast; dissolve the yeast in the water,
add the salt, put the meal into a pan, make a hole in the centre of
the meal, pour in the water with the yeast and salt, and mix the whole
into a dough. Allow it to stand, covered with a cloth, 1-1/2 hours in
front of the fire, turning the pan sometimes, so that the dough may
get warm evenly. Then knead the dough well through, and if necessary
add a little more warm water. Make the dough into round loaves, or
fill it into greased tins, and bake it for 1-1/2 hours. The oven
should be fairly hot. To know whether the bread is done, a clean
skewer or knife should be passed through a loaf. It it comes out clean
the bread is done; if it sticks it not sufficiently baked. When it is
desired to have a soft crust, the loaves may be baked under tins in
the oven.
WHOLEMEAL CAKE.
1 lb. of wholemeal, 4 oz. of sugar, 1 teaspoonful of cinnamon, 1
breakfastcupful of currants and sultanas mixed, well-washed and picked
over, 3 oz. of chopped sweet almonds, 1 dozen ground bitter almonds, 3
eggs, 1/4 oz. of German yeast, 1/4 lb. Vegebutter, and some warm milk.
Rub the butter into the meal, add the fruit, cinnamon, almonds and
sugar, and the eggs well beaten. Dissolve the yeast in a cupful of
warm milk (not hot milk) add it to the other ingredients, and make all
into a moist dough, adding as much more milk as is required to make
the dough sufficiently moist for the spoon to beat all together. Cover
the pan in which you mix the cake with a cloth, place it in front of
the fire, and allow the dough to rise 1-1/2 hours, turning the pan
round occasionally that the dough may be equally warm. Then fill the
dough into one or several well-greased tins, and bake the cake or
cakes from 1 to 1-1/2 hours (according to the size) in a hot oven. If
the cake browns too soon, cover it over with a sheet of paper.
WHOLEMEAL GEMS.
Mix Allinson wholemeal flour with cold water into a batter, pouring
this into greased and hot gem pans, and baking for 3/4 of an hour. All
bread should be left for a day or two to set before it is eaten,
otherwise it is apt to lie heavy on the stomach and cause a feeling of
weight and uncomfortableness.
