Aërated Bread.—Such bread is made by Dr Dauglish's recipe, with flour, water, and salt through which carbonic acid gas is forced by powerful machinery when the previous ingredients have been worked into a dough. This bread is said to be specially nourishing, and is much liked by some people, though others dislike its peculiar flavour greatly. Its original great merit, its freedom from handling in the making, is now shared by other kinds of bread. Naturally, exactly this bread cannot be produced at home, but a form which possesses a good many of its merits may be made thus: Sift together 3oz. of bicarbonate of soda, half a drachm of carbonate of ammonia, 4 drachms of common salt, and 5lb. of previously sifted flour; then mix into this 5 drachms of hydrochloric acid dissolved in two and a half imperial pints of water, work it quickly to a light dough, with no kneading, shape or mould into loaves, and bake at once in a rather quick oven till nicely browned and crusty. Made into two loaves, this will take rather over half an hour to bake. Kneading will make this bread heavy. It should be mixed and worked with a wooden spoon (not the hands) as quickly and lightly as possible, remembering not to get the dough too stiff. This bread keeps better, and is proved to be far more digestible for weak stomachs than ordinary bread.
