1 quart rye-flour.
2 quarts Indian meal.
1 tablespoonful salt.
1 teaspoonful soda, or saleratus.
Mix this up very soft with the risen sponge, adding warm water, if
needed, and working in gradually
Half a teacupful of molasses.
Knead well, and let it rise from six to seven hours. Then work over
again, and divide into loaves, putting these in well-greased, round,
deep pans. The second rising should last an hour, at the end of which
time bake in a moderate oven about four hours. Rapid baking will ruin
it. If put in late in the day, let it stay in the oven all night.
