Indian Bread

Ingredients

• Indian meal
• cold water
• boiling water
• coarse sea salt
• yeast
• butter (for greasing pans)

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

1. Mix Indian meal and cold water to form a thick gruel.

2. Stir the mixture into boiling water and let it boil for 30 minutes.

3. Add a little coarse sea salt and remove from heat.

4. Let the mixture cool until lukewarm, then stir in yeast and more Indian meal to achieve a dough-like consistency.

5. Once the dough is light, transfer it to buttered pans.

6. Let it rest for a few minutes, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 2 hours.
