placed on a table in a north room. It was left for two hours, when the sponge had quite burst through the flour, and risen much; and was immediately made into a firm dough, with the addition to the sponge of about a quarter of a pint of warm water. In from half to three-quarters of an hour it was divided, and very lightly kneaded up into two loaves; put into shallow, round baking dishes, previously rubbed with butter, placed on a tray, covered with a thick double cloth, and sent to a baker's oven, which was a quarter of a mile distant. This bread proved excellent.
Flour, four pounds; salt, one teaspoonful; brewer's yeast (two days watered), one tablespoonful; cold milk and water, one pint: two hours. Warm water, one quarter of a pint; kneaded into firm dough: rising nearly three-quarters of an hour.
