The rolls should not be given too much proof. In baking they should open and eurl backwards, if given the right proof. If proved moist, they require no washing, but may be brushed with butter or lard when done. 951.— POCKET-BOOK ROLLS. No. 1. QUICK PROCESS. % gallon milk, % gallon water, 8 ozs. yeast, 114 ozs. salt, 1 lb. sugar, 1 lb. lard.
