Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

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.
