Scientific cooking with scientific methods

1 cup water. 1 yeast cake. Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup lukewarm water. We scald the milk to kill the lactic germ. Add flour to make a dough that you can handle when turned onto a well-floured board, using care not to add too much flour. Prepare, raise and bake same as the water bread, as the process of the kneading, raising and baking is the same in all breads made from yeast. Entire Wheat Bread. 2 cups scalded milk. 1 teaspoon salt. % cup molasses. 1 yeast cake. 2 cups white flour. 3/4 cup lukewarm water Balance of flour entire wheat. to dissolve yeast in. Entire wheat bread can be made in a thick drop batter, or enough flour added to knead and shape into loaves, just as you like. We raise the same as white bread by letting it double its bulk in the mixing-bowl, then shaping into loaves and placing in greased pans, filling them half full. Cover, let rise again to double its bulk, and bake in hot oven. Parker House Rolls. 2 cups scalded milk. 1 whole egg well beaten. 2 tablespoons sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons butter. 1 yeast cake. Flour. 1/2 cup luke warm water. Add butter, sugar and salt to milk. When cool enough the yeast cake is dissolved in the half cup luke- warm water, then enough flour to make drop batter. Beat thoroughly and turn onto a well-floured board while it is quite soft, and knead thoroughly, adding what flour is necessary to be able to handle it. (It wants to be very soft.) Let it lighten in well-buttered bowl with the dough buttered well on top so it will not crust until double its bulk, then turn onto well-floured board and shape into small balls the size of a walnut, and press in the center of ball butter and fold over two-thirds. Press firmly together. Place in shallow pan, allowing plenty of space between for the lightening of rolls. They do not want to touch in baking. Butter well on top, let them get very light, and bake then in hot oven from twelve to fifteen minutes. The rising does not want to be hastened too much or they will lose their shape. This mixture will make any kind of rolls you desire, the name depending on the shape you mold them into before the last lightening. Bread Sticks. 1 cup scalded milk. Whites of 2 eggs. 1/2 cup butter. 1 yeast cake. 1 tablespoon sugar. % teaspoon salt. 4 cups flour. Knead, let rise, shape and let rise again. Put into hot oven, and reduce the heat that the sticks may be dry and crisp. Graham Bread. 2 1/2 cups scalded milk. 2 yeast cakes in 1/2 cup molasses 1/2 cup warm water. (Orleans is best). 3 cups white flour. 1 teaspoon salt (full). 3 cups Graham flour Prepare and bake same as entire wheat. Sift the Graham flour and discard bran that remains in the sieve, or return to the flour and use it if desired. Boston Brown Bread. 1 cup rye meal. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 cup granulated corn meal. % teaspoon soda. 1 cup Graham flour. % cup molasses. 2 cups sour milk or 1% cups sweet milk. 1 egg.
