tons for improvement

SIMPLE RULES THAT
HELP MAKING BREAD
Best Results Are Obtained by
Use of Thermometer.
Cover Should Be Kept Over Dough
While Rising, TO Prevent Forma-
ton OF Crust Measuring
Glass Is Big Convenience.

Bread dough rises most rapidly at
temperature Of about So degrees r..
and if II can be watched carefully, so
there is no loss of time at any point
this is the best temperature. Under
other circumstances a lower tenipera-
ture, about 50 degrees f. IS better. Il
is easy to keep the proper temperature
If the dough is put into a bread
raiser or a fireless cooker, and a Their
mometer used, say food specialists Of
the United States Department Of Agrl-
culture Experienced housekeepers
know the right temperature for rails
ing and baking bread by the sense Of
feeling. but uniform results are most
easily obtained by the use of a Their
mometer
Dough should be kept covered while
1t is rising otherwise a crust will
form and interfere with the expansion.
Some housekeepers brush the dough
with melted fat. but this is not neces-
sary if the dough is well covered
Beginners often have difficulty in de-
termining when the dough is ready q
be divided into loaves and put into
pans. A good rule is to measure its
volume. The dough for each loaf. If
made out of hard-Uheat flour. should
amount to three pints; If made from
soft -four, to about two ana one-half
pints
The levels 70 which these masses of
dough will reach In the mixing bowl
can be determined in advance and
marked. If one loaf Of bread is to be
made, before mixing, pour three p:nts
Of water into the bowl and mark the
point to which the water comes. This
viii indicate the height to which the
dough should rise.
When recipes direct that dough be
allowed to double or treble in vol
ume, it is convenient to have meas
uring glass to determine the expan-
sion. An ordinary tumbler will do,
but a glass Of smaller diameter, like
a Jelly glass is better Before the
dough is set to rise, pack a small piece
Of 1t in the glass. Note the height to
which it comes ana mark the place it
will reach when its volume has
doubled or trebled. as the case may
be. Put this beside the large loaves
of bread and use 1t as an indicator.
