Excellent Recipes for Baking with YeastGraham or Whole-Wheat Bread 1 cake yeast 1 cup milk, scolded and cooled 4 tablespoonfuls light brown sugar or molasses 1 cup lukewarm water 2 tablespoonfuls lard or butter, melted 4 cups Graham flour 1 cup sifted white flour 1 teaspoonful salt
This recipe gives Bread of an excellent flavor, and richness which may be well be served occasionally to give variety to the diet. Both Graham and entire wheat are highly valuable in the dietary since they stimulate the process of digestion and give the digestive tract needed exercise. Dissolve yeast and sugar, or molasses, in lukewarm liquid. Add lard or butter, then flour gradually, or enough to make a dough that can be handled, and the salt. Knead throughly, or "throw and roll" as shown here, being sure to keep dough soft. Cover and set aside in a warm place to rise for about two hours. When double in bulk, turn out on kneading board, mould into loaves, and place in well-greased pans, cover and set to rise again — about one hour, or until light. Bake one hour, in a slower oven than for white Bread. This recipe makes two loaves.
