Sift two cups of flour with half a teaspoonful of salt and one
teaspoonful of sugar, then add a cup of tepid water in which a cake of
compressed yeast has been dissolved, two tablespoonfuls of melted
butter; when mixed break in one egg and add flour enough to make a soft
dough. Knead well, beating the dough upon the board. Set to rise in a
warm place, when light knead again, adding only enough flour to keep
from sticking to the board, roll out about half an inch thick, cut with
a biscuit-cutter, brush with melted butter, fold in half and set to rise
again. These rolls can be set at noon if for tea, or in the morning if
for luncheon, or they can be made up at night for breakfast, when use
only half a yeast cake. This dough can be moulded into small, oblong
rolls for afternoon teas.
BOSTON BROWN BREAD.
One cup of yellow corn meal, one cup and a half of Graham flour, an even
teaspoonful of salt, an even teaspoonful of soda, two cups of sour milk,
half a cup of Porto Rico molasses, and butter the size of a large
walnut. Sift the corn meal and soda together, add the Graham flour and
salt, then the milk and molasses, melt the butter and stir in at the
last. Butter a brown bread mould, pour in the mixture, steam for three
hours, keep the water steadily boiling, remove the cover of the mould,
and bake twenty minutes in the oven to form a crust.
BOSTON BROWN BREAD WITH RAISINS.
Follow the preceding recipe, adding a cup of raisins stoned and slightly
chopped. Very nice for nut sandwiches and stewed bread.
BOSTON BROWN BREAD STEWED.
Cut the bread into dice, and when the milk boils add the bread and stew
gently fifteen minutes. The proportion is about a cup of milk to one of
bread.
GRAHAM BREAD.
Half a pint of milk, half a pint of water, a pint and a half of white
flour, an even teaspoonful of salt, half a yeast cake dissolved in tepid
water. Scald the milk and add the half pint of boiling water, set away
to cool. Put the flour into the bread pan, add milk and water when
lukewarm and the dissolved yeast; beat well. In the morning add half a
cup of Porto Rico molasses and Graham flour enough to knead well, let it
rise for three hours, knead again, make into loaves and set in a warm
place to rise. When light bake in a moderate oven nearly an hour.
RYE BREAD.
Dissolve half a yeast cake, two heaping teaspoonfuls of sugar and one of
salt in a cup and a third of tepid water, then stir into it a pint of
white flour, and when smooth add enough rye flour to make a dough rather
stiffer than that of white bread. Knead thoroughly about fifteen minutes
and set to rise. In the morning make into a loaf and put in a crusty
bread pan.
QUICK WHITE BREAD.
Three pints of flour, an even teaspoonful of salt, two cakes of
compressed yeast dissolved in tepid water and enough milk to make a soft
dough. Set in the morning,--it will require about an hour and a half to
rise, and, after making into loaves, about ten minutes.
