Bread with Compressed Yeast

Ingredients

• 1/4 of a compressed yeast cake
• Flour (as needed)
• Water (as needed)

Directions

1. Divide the yeast cake into quarters and set one quarter aside to make a small sponge.

2. Place the other quarters in a small bottle, cover with cold water, cork, and refrigerate until needed.

3. When the sponge is light, stir it down and add a little more flour and water.

4. Once the sponge is light again (in less than an hour), shape it into a loaf.

5. Let the loaf rise, then knead it down again, and let it rise once more.

6. Knead into small loaves and bake when they are light and a rich brown.
