recipe for making salt rising bread

two-quart cup or bowl, and three
fourths of teaspoonful of salt stir il
-four enough to make quite a stiff bat
ter; this is FOR the rising, as some cal
it. Set the bowl, closely covered, in 1
kettle, in water, as warm as you cal
bear your finger in, and keep it as neal
this temperature as possible. Notice
the time when you set your rising il
three hours stir in two tablespoonful
of flour, put 1t back, and in five anC
one half hours from the time of setting
it will be within one inch of the top o.
the bowl. IL is then light enough, AND
willraise mp eight quarts of -four, make 9
spunge in the center of the -four witt
one quart OF water of the same temper
ature as rising, stir the rising into it,
cover over with little dry -four, and
put it where it VIII keep very warm,
but not scald in three tourths of an
hour mix this into a stiff dough; il
water is used be sare it is very warm,
and do not work as much as yeast
bread; make the loaves little larger
and keep it warm or another three
quarters OF an hour: 1t will then bC
ready to bake. While rising this last
time have your oven heating; it needs
a hotter oven than yeast bread. Il
rules are followed, yo,; will have bread
