Bread (Mrs E S Cheesebrough Take four)

Mrs. E. S. Cheesebrough, Take four quarts of sifted flour and a teacup of yeast, a pinch of salt, and wet with warm milk and water stiff enough to knead. Work it on the board until it requires no more flour. If made at night the bread will be light enough to work over and put in pans early in the morning. This quantity will make two large loans One-third of the lump may be taken for rolls, which can be made by working in butter the size of an egg and setting aside to rise again; when light the second time make out in oblong shapes; cover them with a clota and let them rise again. As soon as they break apart bake in a quick oven. They will not fail to be nice if they are baked as soon as they seam. This is the great secret of white, flaky rolls. Two or three potatoes will improve the bread. Good housekeepers always have flour sifted in readiness for use, and never use it in any other way.
