Method for Making Salt-Rising Bread

Ingredients

• ½ cup fresh whole milk
• maize meal (enough to make a batter)
• 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Directions

1. Heat the milk in a saucepan until it's near boiling, but do not let it boil.

2. Mix the heated milk with enough maize meal to create a thick batter.

3. Wrap the vessel with paper and a heavy flannel cloth.

4. Place it in a warm spot at about blood heat for several hours until fermentation occurs and a sour odor develops.

5. Stir in the salt once fermentation is established.
