Sift into a pan
three quarts of unbolted wheat meal. Stir a jill of strong yeast,
and a jill of molasses into a quart of soft water, (which must be
warm but not hot,) and add a small tea-spoonful of pearl-ash, or
sal-aratus. Make a hole in the heap of flour, pour in the liquid,
and proceed in the usual manner of making bread. This quantity may
be made into two loaves. Bran bread is considered very wholesome;
and is recommended to persons afflicted with dyspepsia.
