BREAD.-The Rhode Island Society
for the promotion of Industry, gave the
first premium on domestic bread t.
Mrs. Hiram Hill, of Providence. The
following is Mrs. Hills recipe for max
ing the bread exhibited by her:
For two loaves of the ordinary siz,
take two potatoes. pare them, slice
very thin, and boil quick until quite
soft, then mash to fine pulp, and add
little BY little, two quarts of boiling
water, stirring until starch is formed
let this cool, and then add one-thirt
of cup of yeast. This forms th'
sponge which should remain in ;
moderately warm place forten or twelve
hours. or "over night" until it become
very light and frothy, even If a littl,
sour it is OF no consequence. Whei
the "sponge" is ready, add flour. am
work it in until you have formed stiff
firm mass. The longer and more firm
ly this is kneaded the better the bread
Let the kneaded mass remain sa
IRON half to three-quarters of an hou
to rise, then divide into pans, where
should remain say fifteen minutes, car
being taken that it does not rise to
much aud crack, then put the loaye
into quick oven and bake, say three
quarters of an hour. II the oven
not hot enough the bread will rise an
crack, if too hot the surface will har
|, den too rapidly and confine the loaf.
