Bread All in One Day

For two loaves allow one-half pint of boiling water; one-half pint of milk; one teaspoon of salt; one tablespoon of butter or lard; one-half cake of compressed yeast; flour to knead. Pour the water into the milk, add the salt and the yeast dissolved in a little lukewarm water. Stir in sufficient flour to make a dough, turn upon a baking-board and knead until soft and elastic. Place the dough in the mixing pan, cover and stand in a gentle heat to rise. This will take about four hours. Then form into loaves, kneading well; place in greased pans and again set to rise. When light bake in a moderate oven for forty-five minutes. This bread may be made with all water and no milk. A medium-sized mashed potato may be added to this recipe, if a moister bread is liked.
