Coarse Bread.—This is made from the cheapest line of flour made; but, if carefully made, though its colour will, of course, be somewhat dark, its flavour will compare favourably with a good deal of so-called “superior” bread. Dissolve 2oz. to 3oz. of yeast and 3oz. of salt in half a gallon of hot water (about 90° Fahr.), have ready about 12lb. of coarse flour in the trough, make a “bay” in this, pour the liquid in, drawing down enough flour to produce a thin batter; let it stand over night till thoroughly risen, when you work into it a quart more water and 2oz. of salt, and finish off like any other bread.
