_Rye Bread._--Two cups warm water, one half cake compressed yeast,
one and one half tablespoonfuls vegetable fat, two tablespoonfuls
brown sugar, two teaspoonfuls salt, four cups white bread flour, three
cups rye flour. Dissolve the yeast in two teaspoonfuls water, add the
liquid, and beat in three cups best bread flour to a smooth batter.
Cover, and let stand in a warm room to rise for one and one half hours.
Add the salt, the sugar, and the oil, and beat into the sponge. Mix
in the rye flour and the remaining cup of white flour, to a medium
dough. Knead on a board until elastic to the touch, then return to an
oiled bowl, cover, and let rise the same as for entire wheat bread, in
Sunday's lesson. When ready to mold into loaves, roll out six buns, and
lay on an oiled pie tin, and let rise for _rye biscuit_. Divide the
remaining dough into two parts, and roll out into the shape of ordinary
rye bread loaves. Lay in an oiled baking pan, leaving space between.
Brush with an oiled brush, and cut three gashes across each loaf with a
sharp knife, and let rise until light, then bake in a quick oven.
_Baked Banana._--Select firm, rather ripe bananas, put them into the
oven without removing the skins, and bake until the skins burst. Then
remove from the oven, and serve in a folded napkin.
_Tomato Sandwiches._--Peel ripe tomatoes without scalding, by first
scraping them with the back of a knife; then cut into thin slices. Cut
bread into very thin slices, and spread one slice with butter, and the
opposite slice with mayonnaise or boiled dressing. Lay tomatoes between
the slices, cut in triangles, and serve.

and cut into small dice, one and one half tablespoonfuls diced onion,
one and one half tablespoonfuls vegetable butter, one tablespoonful
brown flour, a pinch of sage or marjoram, one half cup milk, and salt
to taste. Put the butter, the onion, and the savory into a small pan,
and simmer for a few moments; then add the brown flour and a little of
the milk, and stir smooth. Add the balance of the milk, and boil up.
Salt to taste, and add the diced food. Sprinkle the diced potato with
a little salt, add the gravy mixture, and mix with a fork. Put into an
oiled baking pan, brush over the top with a little cream, and bake in a
hot oven to a nice brown.
