GREAT GRANDMA'S SALT RISING
BREAD
 
3 med. potatoes
3 tbsp. cornmeal
1 tsp. sugar
4 b. boiling water
Flour
2 c. lukewarm milk
1 c. water
1/8 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. melted shortening

Peel and slice potatoes, add cornmeal, sugar, salt and boiling water. Wrap the mixture in a heavy cloth. Cover and allow to stand in a warm place overnight. Remove potatoes, add milk, water, soda, salt and shortening. Add enough flour to make a dough stiff enough to knead until smooth and elastic. Then form into loaves. Place in well greased pans, cover and let rise until double in bulk. Bake in a 400 degree oven about 20 to 25 minutes. This makes three loaves.
