Brown 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.

  1. Use meal instead of flour for the bread.

  2. Mix meal with a small amount of yeast and enough water to form a dough.

  3. Knead the dough until smooth.

  4. Let the dough rise until doubled in size.

  5. Shape into loaves and place in a baking pan.

  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown.

  7. Ensure the loaves are well soaked in the oven but not over dried.
