Ingredients: Flour, one and a half cupfuls of yeast, lukewarm water, a
table-spoonful of lard, a little salt.
Put two quarts of flour into the bread-bowl; sprinkle a little salt over
it; add one and a half cupfuls of yeast, and enough lukewarm water to
make it a rather soft dough. Set it one side to rise. In winter, it will
take overnight; in summer, about three hours. After it has risen, mix
well into it one table-spoonful of lard; then add flour (not too much),
and knead it half an hour. The more it is kneaded, the whiter and finer
it becomes. Leave this in the bread-bowl for a short time to rise; then
make it into loaves. Let it rise again for the third time. Bake.
