McKimmon To make good bread one should have good flour and fresh yeast. These are not all the things necessary but they are two very important ones. If 5'ou are using soft wheat flour, which by the way can be made into excellent bread as well as biscuits, you must know that a rather stiff dough is necessary for the best results. If you are using hard wheat flour a softer dough is required. Yeast should be tested before using. Have ready a cupful of luke warm water into which you have poured a level tablespoonful of sugar, break into this your cake of Fleishman's yeast and if the particles rise to the top in from three to five minutes the yeast may be considered fresh and ready for use. Pour this mixture into a bowl and add enough sifted flour to make a batter. If eggs are to be used as in tea rolls they should be broken into the batter and thoroughly mixed. This is the time also to add a tablespoonful of mashed Irish potato if a particularly light dough is desired. Beat the batter and add flour until the dough is of the right consistency, Knead thoroughly to mix ingredients and to incorporate as much air as possible in the dough. Thorough kneading makes a bread of flne grain.
