Warm two quarts of flour, and knead in two pints of liquid
yeast✪ Two Loaves of Bread. Mix well, and turn out on bake board and knead again
for a minute or two, or until smooth and even. Cover and set
in a moderately warm place (away from draughts) until the
bulk has about doubled. If the liquid yeast has stood over
night, the bread sponge should rise enough in an hour and a half,
or very little more. Then knead again and divide into two
loaves. Put loaves into greased pans, and cover and set to rise
again until bulk is double in size, which will probably be in
about one hour. Supposing the liquid yeast is made at noon,
and it is desired to set bread at night, follow the same directions,
except that the dough should not be divided into loaves until
following morning, thus giving it more time to rise.
If liquid yeast is made the day before, the bread can be
set and baked before noon. One quart of flour and one pint
of liquid yeast will make one good sized loaf. If dough is too
dry, add a little more liquid yeast, or if too moist, add a little
more flour, so that it will not stick to pans or board.

first, and then allow it to cool a little. Bake the bread one
hour, or a little longer. Take out of pans as soon as baked

advisable to reverse the pan in oven after first half hour.

of one half with butter, fold the two halves and press together
lightly; place in buttered tins some distance apart; cover and
