Bread, Wheat and Rice

Beat one pound and a half of well-boiled rice to a paste, and mix it with seven pounds of fine wheaten flour while still warm; take a pint and a half of warm milk and water, four ounces of salt, and four table-spoonfuls of yeast, put them into the centre of the flour, make a thin batter, cover the top with flour, and leave it to rise for an hour and a half; then make it into a dough with more milk and water, and after kneading and forming it into loaves, set it by the fire for another hour to rise before being put into the oven. Bake from one and a half to two hours. Probable cost, 1s. 10d. Sufficient for four loaves.
