Bread and Tea-cakes

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Prepare the yeast carefully and mix it with lukewarm water.

  3. Knead the dough thoroughly until smooth.

  4. Place the dough in loaf tins, leaving space between each loaf.

  5. Bake until the bread is risen and starting to brown, then reduce heat to 300°F (150°C) and close the ventilator.

  6. Bake until fully cooked through.
