ABOUT SUBSTITUTE BREADS

The Food Administration requires
that all bread sold must contain 20
per cen wheat substitutes. But, if we
can make a satisfactory bread using
a higher percentage OF wheat substi.
tutes so much the better. Here is
the recipe for a $3.50 bread that is
very good.
$3.50 Bread-1A cups liquid, y cup
mashed potatoes, Ia cups wheat -four,
a cake yeast, l tablespoon corn syrup,
2 teaspoons salt. IL cups barley -four,
Ia cups rice -four. Make a sponge of
all the ingredients except the rice and
barley -four. The potatoes should be
freshly mashed with no fat or milk
added. The water in which they are
cooked can be used for the liquid. Let
the sponge stand in a warm place un-
til very light. If dry yeast is used,
set the sponge the night before. Add
the rice and barley -four when the
sponge is light. Knead and let rise
until doubled in bulk. Knead again,
form into l%oaves, place in a loaf pan,
and allow to rise until bulk is again
doubled. Brush over top of loaf with
melted fat before putting it to rise.
Bake for one hour and a quarter in a
hot oven.
Other satisfactory $3.50 breads
max use of rolled oats, 12s cups, COM
bined with rice -four, rs cups, or corn
flour, Ia cups, or tapioca -four 1k
cups. in place of the rice and barley
-four in the recipe.
None OF the loaves using a high per-
centage of substitutes equal the all
wheat loaf in lightness, wheat having
a special substance known as gluten.
which gives it elastic properties that
make 1t especially valuable for bread
making. None of the other fiours. ex-
cept rye, contain this substance in any
appreciable amount so that when we
substitute for the wheat -four large
quantities of flours that do not con-
tain gluten, We cannot expect the
elasticity. The loaves are more
compact and less porous. In the Is
per cent and 100 per cent substitute
loaves an egg is used as binding ma
terial and as an additional leavener.

light. at least 2 hours. When the
is light, work in the rest of
the substitute fiours and the egg slight
ly beaten. Shape the dough at once
and place in loaf pan. Brush top of
