Ingredients

Directions

  1. It is very gratifying to both Author and Publishers that this little book has been so favourably received by the Baking Trade and the public that a second edition is required within a few months of the first issue of the work.

  2. The opportunity has been taken to insert some additional recipes' for the whole-meal and other breads which of late have been so frequently recommended as substitutes for the white bread in established use, together with some remarks on the subject by Professors Jago and Graham; and a few corrections in the text (the necessity for which escaped notice when the work was first in the press) have also been made.
