First Prize at County Fair (Makes 8 Loaves)

YEAST 1 cup Five Roses flour scalded with potato water at noon, and add 3 mashed potatoes. When cold, add 14 cakes of Royal Yeast previously soaked in½ cup water, and set to rise in a warm place until bedtime.

BREAD Strain the above through a sieve into a bread pan, and add 2 tablespoons salt, ½ cup sugar, 4 quarts lukewarm water and enough Five Roses flour to make a stiff batter. Beat smoothly with spoon, and set to rise overnight in a warm place. In the morning, add enough flour to make stiff enough to knead on board. Set to rise again until light. Then mould into loaves, and let rise until light and up to top of pan. Bake 1 hour in steady oven. -Mary Hammond, Essex, Ont.
