About the Book

Fleischmann's compressed yeast was sold in foil-wrapped cakes, and this booklet — copyright 1920 — exists to make you confident enough to use two of them at once.

Its real subject is time. Almost every recipe is a schedule: dissolve, beat, set aside about one and one-half hours, mould, let rise one hour, bake forty-five to sixty minutes. The book offers a quick method, a sponge-dough method of five and a half to six hours, and an overnight method of about nine, and is clear about what each buys you.

This edition is built from professionally keyed text, checked against the page scans.
