=6. German coffee bread.=
_Proportions._
Scalded milk 1 cup
Butter 1/3 cup
Sugar 1/4 cup
Salt 1/2 teaspoonful
Egg 1
Yeast 1 cake dissolved in 1/4 cup
lukewarm milk
Raisins stoned and
cut in pieces 1/2 cup
Flour
_Special method._——Add butter, sugar, and salt to milk. When
lukewarm add dissolved yeast cake, egg well beaten, flour to make
a stiff batter, and raisins. Cover and let rise. When light
spread in buttered pan one half inch thick. Cover and let rise
again. Before baking brush over with well beaten egg and cover
with following mixture. Melt 3 tablespoonfuls butter, add 1/3 cup
sugar and 1 teaspoonful cinnamon. When sugar is partially melted,
add 3 tablespoonfuls flour and remove from fire.
_Laboratory management._——For individual work or for work in groups of
two, the use of 1/2 cup of liquid will be found to make as small an amount
of dough as it is desirable to handle. In making the white bread two
portions may be baked in one tin, brushing with butter where the two
portions touch each other, so that the loaves will separate when baked.
Where it is necessary to hurry the process not less than 1/2 yeast cake
should be used with this quantity.
It is impossible in an ordinary school period to complete the entire
process. A number of solutions will occur to the teacher. One of these is
to arrange the lessons as follows:
_Lesson I._
Yeast experiments, summary, bread mixed in groups and set to rise,
demonstration by teacher of kneading, using dough previously prepared.
_Lesson II._
Quantity of dough set to rise by volunteer pupils before class. Dough
kneaded, shaped and set to rise by pupils. Review of yeast experiments.
Baking of bread.
_Lesson III._
Parker House rolls or sweet breads mixed and set to rise, completed by
volunteers after class.
In recipes where three risings are called for one may be omitted, if
necessary.
=7. Toast.=——Directions for making toast will be found in Chapter
IV.
