Rice is an excellent substitute for wheat flour. The following
receipt for the mixture yields a solid and palatable bread.
Soften well by a slow fire a pound of rice with three quarters of a
gallon of water. When it has acquired a certain degree of heat, mix
up with it, well, four pounds of flour, some salt and yeast, as in
making common bread; knead it and put it near the fire to rise. This
will give eight pounds and a half of good bread. If the rice seems
to require more water, add, for there are several qualities of rice
which swell more than others.
