Beat until smooth and add enough flour to make a dough stiff enough to knead. Work until smooth and add enough flour to make a dough stiff enough to knead. Work until smooth and elastic. let rise to double in bulk, knead again and form into loaves. Cover pans, let rise again, to double in bulk, and bake in a hot oven about 45 minutes. ~- HOW TO USE COMPRESSED YEAST: In using compressed yeast you may use double or even tripple the quantity of yeast given in your recipe in order to shorten time of fermentation. Be sure not to let your dough get too light at any stage of the procedure. (In other words, don”t let the dough go for too long a rise. If you use this procedure and watch your dough texture/height, there is no reason why this should not work, and want the joy of doing it yourself.) – >From: Katie E Green <kgreen@u.washington.edu> From: Bread-Bakers Archives: ftp.best.com/pub/reggie/archives/bread/recipe Recipe By : Fredericksburg Home Kitchen Cook Book NOTES : This is from the Fredericksburg Home Kitchen Cook Book, first published in 1846. I Have the Centennial Edition, 1946. Great find, a bit pricey, in the book stalls. There are two yeast recipes, followed by a Buttermilk Bread recipe. These are old recipes, but my grandmother made her own yeast on the farm and followed the same procedure in Iowa, turn of the century.
