Wild Adventure Further I Broadbaking Activities Finally Produco Tiny but Good Lorff I By MAXINE BUREN Statesman, Wonun Editor Writer expound excitedly on the "adventures of cooking" and cheerfully tell readers they caul hare fun cooking if they wish. Now we believe that we are I pretty well "adventured" out on one recipe -salt, rising bread We have known many hopes and heartbreaks. Have been thrilled with success and shattered by failure anyway we finally made it! i f Once years ago following a recipe for salt rising bread, we began with milk and cornmeal left it in a warm place to ferment We Jcept the mixture, hopeful of success. But when others, sniffing around, looked for) something reminiscent of what Denmark is often accused of, we poured the batter down the sink.- I j HEROIC RECIPE Our next effort was more successful. Following the recipe we added more liquid here and more flour there and so on for many days, until all available utensils were filled with salt rising bread dough and our hearts filled with consternation. Eventually the bread was donef but having no army close at hand to! benefit by our wholesale supply we felt somewhat over burdened with bread. j Last week with our usual hopefulness, we started out fresh, with a new recipe, new ingredients and new hope we began; "Into 1 cup scalded milk, put 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 tea spoons salt, put into a fruit jar and keep at 120 degrees for 6 to 7 hours or until it has fermented." Recalling our past mis adventures in salt rising bread-making, we weren't going to be caught making a hotel-sized recipe, so we halved the thing. Anyway, slyly measuring just half the recipe we waited our 6 or 7 hours, then two or three days no fermentation. Our batter was as sweet as honey. Then all of a sudden just one week late; the batter fermented and bubbled in great style. We continued the recipe and ended up with a sweetest minia ture loaf of salt rising bread about the size of a French roll. But it was good and we felt encouraged enough to sUrt the recipe again with high hopes! for a speedy and generous completion oi the ritual j Well, girls, we waited the 6 jor 7 hours, and after that, settled down to relax for another 6 days. Anyway we know the recipe: works. Try it, for whether It takes 6 hours or 6 days or even 6 weeks if s a wonderful feeling to have conquered even such a plebian undertaking as a recipe for salt rising bread. SALT RISING! BREAD Scald il cup rich milk and stir into it 1 tablespoon granu lated sugar and 1M teaspoons salt and about Ms cup while corn meal. Mix thoroughly and turn into a two-quart fruit jar or pitcher. Cover it and set jar into hot water (120 degrees). Let mixture stand, still in the hot water, -for 6 to 7 hours until it has fermented. When the gas escapes freely, stir in 1 cup lukewarm water (100 degrees) mixed with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Stir in slowly; 2 cups sifted bread flour and beat thoroughly. Return the jar to the hot water bath and let the sponge rise until it is light and full of bubbles Turn the sponge at once into a warm mixing bowl and gradually i stir in 2V cups sifted white flour, or enough to make a stiff dough. Divide the dough on half, shape into loaves and plaCe in bread pans generously greased. So far, no shortening has been used. Brush loaves with 2 tablespoons melted shortening, cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until dough is! 2 times the original bulk. Bake foil 10 minutes at 375 and! reduce heat to 350, continue baking for another 25 minutes, j : Sponge of salt rising bread requires a higher temperature than yeast dough. After the rising the temperature of 120 de grees should be maintained as closely as possible. Homemade salt rising bread is not so light as yeast bread but moist and crumbly. i j Juniors Plan Sale and Dance At the Monday; night business meeting of the Salem Junior Wo man's Club, Mrs.; Fred Joehnki, chairman, announced that the an nual rummage sale would be held at 339 North High Street, Jan uary 234 Assisting Mrs. Joehnki will be Mrs. Earl Hampton, co chairmah, Mrs. Gordon Graber, Mrs. Tim Barry, Mrs. Deri J.

I "It was an example of town-hall democracy and it provided a les son for all civil defense organiza tions," Sheets said; "This type of emergency might not compare in size to wartime destruction but the coordinated manner in which city and county groups functioned proves the worth of disaster plan ning, j "It brings out an old dimension - .. oi community hie a quality of neighborly helpfultaess." Tax Rates to I Edge Higher i Average unemployment tax rates of approximately 17,000 covered firms will move slightly higher in 1954 for the first time in five years, according to estimates based on preliminary tabulations of the State Unemployment Compensa tion Commission released here Tuesday. ; Commission officials said a few hundred additional concerns will share in the savings under the ex perience rating system. Actual re ductions in assessments on this year's pay rolls will remain close to $15,000,000, bringing the total savings since 1941 to more than $110,000,000. i Payments into the unemploy ment fund will continue around $11,000,000. probably the smallest since the experience rating system started 14 years ago, officials said. Average tax rate is estimated at 1.154 per cent; about 0.02 more than in 1953 but less than in any other year. Of 12,273 firms which had the requisite four years employment experience to qualify under the system, 10,953 were allowed rates under the normal 2.7 percent Statesman, Salem, Ore WexL.
