Farina and Graham Bread

Ingredients

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. Combine cold boiled farina and wheat-meal.

  2. Shape the mixture into a loaf.

  3. Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) until cooked through, about 30 minutes.

What each ingredient does

Cold boiled farina
Forms the bulk of the loaf and gives it a soft, starchy body once cooked.
Wheat-meal
Adds flour-based structure so the shaped mixture holds together while baking.
