Ingredients

• flour
• greased pans

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

1. Mix flour with a cloth and set in a pan of warm water.

2. Let it stand in a warm place until very light, about 2 hours.

3. Add enough flour to make a dough that won't stick to your hands.

4. Knead thoroughly until smooth and elastic.

5. Mould into loaves and place in greased pans.

6. Cover with a cloth and let rise until very light.

7. Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour.
