Wltti , out ttiU knowledge or attention there , will ever be inyatery and uncertainty I nbout It, und there will always be in different rvnults. , Thcro are ouly four InKrcdlcnU ab solutely neccHsary for the umkliiB of a loaf of raised wbent bread. They are kock! brt-nd flour, fresh yeast. Ilriutd cltber milk pr water and salt Other Incmllentn are often usrd. but they are not necessary. For Instance, shortening Is sometimes added. Tills makes a richer lonf. Hugor, too. may be used In small quantity. This hastens (he growth of the yeast plants. Potnto water occasionally reptuces the milk or water nnd makes a moist toaf, while potatoes nnd hop water forma mixture In which the yeast colonies are qulckly started. Hut Kood bread can bo made without the nddltlou of any of those things. Flour Used In Drssdmaklng. In order that we may havo a well raised light loaf It U necessary to use n Hour containing n larp per cent of clutcn. This Is the flour made from the so called "hard" wbeata. Such Hour has less water than the llnur mado from the "soft" wheat, therefore, mixed with a liquid, kIvcs a larger lonf. aiuteu Is a grayUh, rubber-like substance found In flour after the starch has been washed out. It in the "sura" obtaluod from chewing a hand ful of wheat as knowu by luost people who havo spout tbelr childhood In the country. Thla very character of plu ton makes It accessory In brcakmnk Inir. It stretches and stretches, form liif llttlo pockets In which the gas is ntalued In the loaf until It Is baked. The heat of the oveo hardens the glu ten quickly before It has had time to relax, and so the loaf keeps Its puffed flbape. Good bread flour should be white, with Just a suggestion of yellow. Aft er belut pressed In tho hand it should full loosely apart. If It keeps tho Im press of the palm or remains In lumps It has too much moisture. When rub bed between tho thumb and finger there should bo a Blight crlttluesa; It should not feel too smooth or pow dery. What Is YeaitT This useful itKont In brondmaklng Is as old as the hills, and Its action Is hotter understood whon one Is familiar with it. Vcast Is a microscopic plant, consisting of ti single round or oval cell. Tho rapidity with which It (trows and reproduces Itself kIvch It much of Its Importance, It reproduces either by Bonding out buds which break off no now plants or by forming spores which will grow Into new plants under favorable conditions. Llko all plants, yeast requires heat, moisture nnd food In order to grow, Tho degree of heat at which It grows best Is from 75 to 00 degrees, and this Is the temperature at which bread should be kept throughout the process of making, if it were not for the liq uid used In hreiulmuklng the yeast would not have sulllclent moisture mid would not grow any more than It does In tho dry cake, Tho food uf the yeast plant Is sugar, SSSKS&L.... and tills is obttilued by n chemical . change being produced lu the "lurch of 'too Hour, changing part or It into sug (ar. This results In a fermentation the products of which are alcohol mid car- lion dioxide gas- the gas which makes the bread light, nio average House Leeper is familiar Willi yeast or leaven In three forms-tlint which she makes herself by combining potatoes, flour, hop water and a "starter" left from a previous baking; also the dry and compressed yeasbi. The last two nro practically tile samu, the dry yeast having been mixed with more flour or comment In order to preserve tho plants for n longer time. The chief difference between these three forms of leaven is In the number and kind of yoast plants which they contain, Tho compressed yenslthc small square cake which comes wrapped lu tin foil contains the Inrgest number of plants and so is able to produce tho greatest amount of gas lu n given time, making It poNslblo to finish the bread In fewer hours. The commercial yeasts are sup posed ft be what Is known ns n "pure culture" In other words, one variety of plants-therefore Is more uniform In strength and coiupoHltlon. Yeast plants exist in tbo air. and It Is upon these we depend In making "salt rising" bread. The flour and wa ter with a little salt are mixed into a batter, then set aside In a warm place to ferment. It contains sulllclent gas to make Into dough when full of boles or when like a sponge, nnd this fer mentation has been caused by tbe ac tion of tbo wild yeasts in the air. The Prooest of Brssdmaklng. This article Is In no sense nn ex planation of all tho sclentiflc technical ities of brendmaklng because the sub ject Is too big and complicated to be thoroughly treated In n column or two. It Is simply an attempt to outline somo of the principles to be observed nnd to five n few hclnful succestlons to ' women who may not have n satlsfac I too method of their own. The follow ing recipe Is for brend made with com : pressed yeast, and when care is taken to maintain an even temperature, j nlout SO degrees, throughout tho proc- ess the bread should be ready for tho oven in oitout rour hours rrom the time It Is stnrtcd. The special advantage of the compressed yeast Is that It U more rapid, and when It Is used bread need not be set overnight. Compreited Yeast Dread. Add two tnblujtpooufuls of shorten ing (butter or la nil. one tablespoonful of sugar and one tenspoonful of salt and one cake of comprehsed yeast dis solved lu three tablesoonfuls of cold water to one pint of scalded milk or one-half milk and one-half water. Then stir lu flour until dough Is stiff enough to beat vigorously. Turn on molding board and knead until dougb does not stick to the board, using more flour as necessnry, n little nt n time. Put In a well greased bowl mid brush surface lightly with melted butter to keep from crusting over. Cover with towel nnd let rise ngnln until double Its site (nbout three hours). At the end of that time mold Into rolls or loaves nnd put into greased pans, brushing the surface with melted but ter. Cover ns before nnd Bet to rise until double Its size; then bake. Hread should be baked as soon as It Is sultlclently light, nnd the oven should be hot enough to brown (lour tn fifteen minutes, nbout 300-degrecs. At this temperature ordinary sired loaves of broad should be browned nil over. Ilread should be turned from pan as soon ns tnken from oven and placed uncovered In sach n position that nil sides will be exposed to tho air, not allowing it to come In contact with anything which will give It nn un pleasant odor or taste. When cold It should lc put Into n box or Jar to which the ntr can havo access and bo kept In n dry. cool place. This amount of yeast will raise three times as much flour and other Ingredients If longer , huh- is given iot u io occome ugnt. One point lu which many first class breadmnkers often fall is In the baking. Bread to be thoroughly dtgcsttblo should be thoroughly baked. Tho or dinary sized loaf requires from ono hour and n quarter to ono hour and a half to bako sulliclently. nnd, that this may bo accomplished without burning, the oven should not be too hot In the beginning, The brend should not be gin to brown until after the first ten minutes. Mnny changes take place In bread during the bnkins;. The yeast plants are killed by the htgh temperature, tho gas expands, making the loaf still lighter, the fermentation Is stopped, the alcohol Is driven off and n large amount of the moisture Is evaporated. Also tho brownlm- of tbe crust In- creases the ease with which tbe loaf is digested, and tho action or the yeast on the gluten Is also supposed to nld Its digestion. Whole Wheat Bread. Scald n cupful of milk, take from the tire nnd add n heaping teaspoonful of salt, a level teaspoonful of sugar and n tablespoonful of shortening. Add a cupful of cold water to tho scalded milk and when the mixture ta lukewarm add one-half yeast cake that has been dissolved In one-half cupful of lukewarm watur. Heat In enough whole wheat flour to make a rather Hill batter, beat well, cover mid set aside until light. Then stir in as much more whole wheat (lour as you eau beat lu with a spoon. It must bo stiff, Heat well, turn Into greased tins, let rise until light, then bake an hour lu n moderate oven. Dlabctlo Dread. Take one quart of sweet milk, ono heaping teaspoonful of good butter, one-lift It of li cake of comprossod yenst beaten up with a little water and two eggs well boateiir Stir In gluten flour until a soft ilnugTi Is formed, Knead ns In ordinary bread, put In pans to raise mid when light bake In hat ovon, EAGLE POINT EAGLETS Ry A C.
