Let it stand ten minutes, then stir in two tablespoonfuls flour, and set in a warm place to rise over night. In the morning add half pint fresh milk, and flour enough to make the yeast smooth. Put ina kettle of water warm enough to bear the hand in, and be careful to keep it the same temperature. When this rises make your bread either with or without making a sponge. It is good either way. Some think it nicer, and finer, if made into a sponge first. Let rise again until about double its size; then bake in a moderate oven until a delicate brown, which will be from forty-five to sixty minutes. ROLLS.
