Common Bread Dough

As a rule use one-fourth yeast to three-fourths water. The good potato yeast with no germs of sourness in it, such as we have already directed how to make, does no harm in still larger proportions when the weather is cold or time of mixing late. But the whitest bread is made when the dough can have long time to rise, not hurried up. 1 pint of yeast. 3 pints of warm water. 1 heaping tablespoonful of salt. 8 pounds of flour. Makes 8 loaves of convenient size.
