USE BRAN FLOURS FOR HOME
BREAD MAKING.

more or less bran is sometimes ad-
visable both for the sake of the var
iety which they give to the diet and
because of the n neral substances
and growth regulating substances
these fiours contain. Farmers Bull

ment OF Agriculture, Bread and Bread
Making. includes. in addition to white
bread recipes. a number for home
made bread from whole wheat or
graham -four, from home ground
-four. from rye. rolled oats, etc.
These are as follows:
Whole-wheat or graham bread
l II cups lukewarm milk, 8 table
spoons brown sugar, IL teaspoons
salt, cups whole-wheat or graham
-four, " yeast cake.
Scald the milk, together with the
sugar and salt. When lukewarm, add
the yeast, mixing it first with little
of the milk. Add the -four, beat we'll.
and let it double its volume. Beat it
thoroughly. put into pan, and let 1t
rise. In a pan of standard size it
should come nearly to the top.
The above recipe may be used in
preparing bread from home-ground
meal. There are many homes, par
ticularly in the country, where the
housewife can obtain unground wheat
at moderate cost. If ground in the
ordinary coffee mill, such wheat
makes coarse bread, not very light
in texture, but of such good flavor

to give variety to the diet. 1t is useful,
too, in places where good bran can
not be obtained easily and where
coarse breads are desired as a means
of preventing constipation. In max
ing such bread with view to econ
omy the housekeeper should compute
what it will cost her per loaf, includ-
ing labor and fuel, as compared with
other breads she makes. Skim milk
instead of whole milk can be used
/ homemade yeast, either liquid or dry
cakes, is possibility; and some might
like the bread with less sugar or un-
sweetened. Another recipe which has
been worked out follows:
| Homegrown wheat bread Il
cups water or skim milk, l "a teas

! home-ground wheat flour, " cake
dry yeast, or / gill liquid yeast.
| Set a sponge at night, using half
of the flour. In the morning add the
rest of the -four, beat we'll, put into
CREASED pan. allow to rise until it
doubles it's bulk, and bake.

Pour a cupfuls of the water over

to the boiling point or nearly to it and
cook 30 minutes. This cooking can
best be done in double boiler. The
water is sufficient only to soften the
meal little. Allow the meal to cool

of the water ~ cupful,) or the n

standard size, allow to rise until 1t
nearly fills the pan, and bake As or
SO minutes.
Rice bread cup lukewarm water,
milk or mixture of the two, cup
uncooked rice, l n teaspoons salt,
tablespoon sugar, butter (if used,) 1
Tablespoon or less, Y cake compressed
yeast, 2 CUPS wheat -four.
Steam the rice with one-half of the
liquid until it is soft. This is done
better in a steamer than in double
boiler, for the liquid Is so small in
amount that the rice does not become
soft readily and the presence of the
steam helps. Put the sugar, SALT and
fat(if used) into the mixing bowl
and pour over them the remaining
liquid " cupfuD. When the mix
ture has become lukewarm add the
yeast and " cupful of flour. Allow
this sponge to rise until very light.
Add the boiled rice, which should
have been coSled until lukewarm,
and the rest Of the -four. This dough
is so thick that some pressure is re-
Quired to work in the last portions of
the -four. Allow the dough to rise
until it has doubled its bulk, form
into loaf, place in pan of standard
size, allow 1t to rise until it nearly
reaches the top Of the pan, and bake.
