When all has been thoroughly mixed,

and fold it over and over fourteen times.
1t will probably be more convenient to
take about one third of the dough at a
time since 1t would be rather awkward
to handle the whole quantity at once.
Cover, set aside for twenty minutes
again, and fold nine times. Leave for
another twenty minutes mold into loaves
and place in pans which have been lightly
creased and warmed. When mOlding the
loaves, pinch off a small bit Of dough,
just enough to one-thrd fill small tum-
bier, and place this glass alongside the
pans. Cover the latter with towel
wrung out of very warm water to prevent
the formation Of a hard crust on the
dough When the ball of dough just
fills the glass-that is. when the dough
has expanded to three times its original
yolume-the loaves are ready for the
oven.
For bread, the oven should be at a
good, steady heat, 400 degrees to 40 de-
grees Fahrenheit. and unless the loaves
are exceptionally large forty minutes
baking should be sufficient. cup of
water placed in the oven during the bak-
ing aids in the formation of tender
crust and lessons the danger of scorch-

is too high the bread becomes sour, and
when it is too low the bread won't rise
If the straight dough method is used,
which is now SO popular in the larger
baking establishments, more yeast will
be required to accomplish the desired
results.
But the housewife who is not pressed
for time will get a whittier bread with a
more distinct flavor through the sponge
or long fermentation method. In this
the bread is set overnight. During the
process of mixing it is important to
avoid drafts and the use Of cold dishes,
either. Having the materials and utensils
too hot is as bad as having them too
cold. The atmosphere should also be
moist, in order to keep a crust from
forming on the dough, to avoid which
we keep our dough under glass covers
Thus the dough may be examined in the
crooks and bakers without exposing. 1t to
drafts.
For the housekeeper who has not the
facilities of an electric sponge box a
simple packing box, which any one can
make, has been designed for this pur-
pose. This box is provided with the
necessary air holes at the top shelf
to hold the bread and a small lamp. I'M
der 1t to furnish the heat. A strip of
tin the width and depth of the box is
placed above the lamp to prevent burn
ing and smoking the shelf. A thermome-
ter is attached to one side near the top,
so that the housekeeper may regulate
the temperature. Though the cost of
this is practically nothing. the results are
the same as would be obtained from an
electric sponge box, and by using it
many a batch Of bread will be saved
from spelling.
For the benefit of housekeepers gen.
orally, Miss Wessling has worked out a
formula for the straight dough"
method of baking, which, like the plan
of the sponge box, is soon to appear in
a government bulletin, and is as follows:
For three loaves of bread of the ordi-
nary size averaging about one pound
