BREAD & ROLLS 23 Sift the wheat flour, measure, and add to the batter. Mix until all the flour is dampened, then beat with a spoon for 2 minutes. The dough should be thick enough so it is just possible to beat with a spoon. Cover with a damp cloth, set in a warm place and let rise until light and soft when touched with the finger. Punch down, cover with a damp cloth and let rise again. Then punch down again before turning out on a board sifted over with wheat flour. Knead 5 or 10 minutes. By this time the dough should not stick to the board at all. Form into a loaf and place in a greased pan. Cover with a damp cloth, let rise to about double and bake 1 to 1% hours at 300° with a pan of hot water placed in the oven underneath the bread.
