Bread-making

Ingredients

• compressed yeast
• flour
• water
• salt

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. The book gives no cooking times either; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

1. Dissolve the compressed yeast in warm water.

2. Mix flour and salt in a large bowl.

3. Add the yeast mixture to the flour and mix until a dough forms.

4. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth.

5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.

6. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

7. Let it rise again until it has risen above the edge of the pan.

8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes.
