until they are emptied. Test for carbon dioxide with a match, and with
limewater.
=1. Plain bread.=——You should be able to make your own recipe for
plain bread from the foregoing pages. Write this out in detail.
=2. Milk bread.=
_Proportions._
Milk 2 cups
Butter 2 tablespoonfuls
Sugar 1 tablespoonful
Salt 1-1/2 teaspoonfuls
Yeast 1 cake dissolved in 1/4 cup lukewarm water
Sifted flour 6 cups
_Special method._——Scald milk and add to this the butter, sugar,
and salt. Cool this until it is just lukewarm. Add the dissolved
yeast and stir in the flour beating thoroughly. Proceed as in
general directions.
=3. Entire wheat bread.=
_Proportions._
Scalded milk 2 cups
Sugar 1/4 cup
_or_
Molasses 1/3 cup
Salt 1 teaspoonful
Yeast 1 cake dissolved in 1/4 cup lukewarm water
Entire wheat flour 4-2/3 cups
_Special method._——Add sweetening and salt to scalded milk and
cool until lukewarm. Add dissolved yeast and beat in the flour.
Cover with cloth and let rise to double its bulk. Again beat and
turn into greased bread pans, filling half full. Let this rise to
not quite double its bulk, and bake same as white bread. This
mixture may also be baked in gem pans.
=4. Parker House rolls.=
_Proportions._
Scalded milk 2 cups
Butter 3 tablespoonfuls
Sugar 2 tablespoonfuls
Salt 1 teaspoonful
Yeast 1 cake dissolved in 1/4 cup
lukewarm water
Flour
_Special method._——Add butter, sugar, and salt to milk. When
lukewarm, add dissolved yeast cake and three cups of flour. Beat
thoroughly, cover and let rise until light. Cut down and add
enough flour to knead (it will take about 2-1/2 cups). Let rise
again, toss on floured board and knead, pat and roll out to 1/3
inch thickness. Shape with a biscuit cutter first dipped in
flour. Dip the handle of a case knife in flour and make a crease
through the middle of each round. Brush over 1/2 of each piece
with melted butter, fold over, and press edges together. Place in
greased pan, one inch apart, cover, let rise, and bake in hot
oven twelve to fifteen minutes. As the rolls rise they will part
slightly, and if hastened in rising are apt to lose their shape.
