/ cake compressed yeast.

at ordinary room temperature go
deg. F.) for about "a hours, when it
will be ready for use. This yeast
should be kept in cool, dark place.

u teaspoons salt.
I l tablespoon sugar.

Y cake dry yeast
Set a sponge at night, using half
of the flour. In the morning add the
rest of the flour, beat well, put into
creased pan, allow to rise until it
doubles its bulk and bake.
Flour
Flour, when mixed with water,
forms an elastic mass; this is due to
gluten. Glutens are not all alike:
Some are far more elastic than 9TH |
ers. Good bread flour has the right |
kind of gluten, also the correct
amount. This depends upon the kind
of wheat from which flour is made
and partly on the way it is milled.
Durum wheat has large percentage
of gluten. Spring wheats have more
gluten than winter wheats grown in
mlder climates. A "hard" winter
wheat flour may be as good for bread
making as spring wheat -four
