One cake yeast, one pint luke-warm water, one quart new
milk, one quart cold water, one tablespoon salt, two tablespoons
sugar, flour, butter or lard. At noon soak the yeast in the
warm water fifteen minutes, then stir in flour sufficient to make
a stiff batter. Set it in a warm place (not too warm) until
very light. In the evening scald the milk and add it, with the
water, salt, sugar and flour, enough to knead. Knead it half
an hour, then rub the top of the dough with butter or lard,
to prevent its drying. In the morning knead another half
hour, divide into six loaves, and when sufficiently light bake
one hour in a hot oven. When taken from the oven, wet the
tops of the loaves with sweet milk or butter to soften the
crust.

ter cake of compressed yeast, three tablespoons cold water, one

quart of boiling hop-water (not too strong, or it will make the
bread dark) . Add one-half cup of salt, and one cup of sugar✪ Potato Yeast.
Stir it well, and when cool, add one yeast cake, or one cup
of fresh yeast, or one cake magic yeast. Let it rise, and cork
tight and keep in a cool place.
