Entire wheat bread can be made in a thick drop batter, or enough flour added to knead and shape into loaves, just as you like. We raise the same as white bread by letting it double its bulk in the mixing-bowl, then shaping into loaves and placing in greased pans, filling them half full. Cover, let rise again to double its bulk, and bake in hot oven.

Beat thoroughly and turn onto a well-floured board while it is quite soft, and knead thoroughly, adding what flour is necessary to be able to handle it. (It wants to be very soft.) Let it lighten in well-buttered bowl with the dough buttered well on top so it will not crust until double its bulk, then turn onto well-floured board and shape into small balls the size of a walnut, and press in the center of ball butter and fold over two-thirds. Press firmly together. Place in shallow pan, allowing plenty of space between for the lightening of rolls. They do not want to touch in baking. Butter well on top, let them get very light, and bake then in hot oven from twelve to fifteen minutes. The rising does not want to be hastened too much or they will lose their shape. This mixture will make any kind of rolls you de- sire, the name depending on the shape you mold them into before the last lightening. Bread Sticks. 1 cup scalded milk.
