On ot U Important oaea ot tb
general parpoae cooking thermometer
la la making yeast-raised bread. Tba
tempera tare of th dough ahoold be
kept constantly at about 82 degreea
P. throughout the mixing and rlalng
period. This can only be dona ex
actly when thermometer Is used.
An oven thermometer, too, will be
wanted when the bread la baked. Tba
following directions for making bread
it bom are given by (ha bureau of
born economics. The materials In
dicated yield about three and a half
pounds, that Is, three large or four
small loaves ot bread. Bard-wbeat or
bread floor Is called for. If a soft
wheat flour la nsed a larger quantity
la needed ; also mora yeast and sugar.
Tor the same amount of Uquld about
two and half pounds or two and
three-quarters quarts of sifted soft
wheat flour will be required, and about
double the amount of yeast and sugar.
The liquid In either case may be
milk, water, potato water, or any com
bination of these.
About t lbs. or I tba. susar
t qts. of slftsd I lbs. tst
hsrd-whsat flour. I ounce (I eakts)
t cups liquid run
4 tsp. aalt
With the temperature about 82 de
greea F. bread can be made by the
straight dough method with the above
Ingredients in about four hours from
the time the dough Is mixed until the
loaves are put Into the oven. A small
quantity of the liquid, about one-half
cupful, must be set salde for softening
the yeast If milk Is used. It must be
scalded first to check the growth of
bacteria, and then cooled. The part
reserved for soaking the yeast should
be cooled quickly, snd the rest msy
be poured while hot over the sugar,
alt and fat Other liquid than milk
do not require beating, but often this
Is done for convenience In dissolving
and melting the sugar, salt and fat
In any case the liquid mixture should
bo brought to temperature below
100 degrees P. before mixing with the
yeast The temperature should be ad
Justed so as to bring the temperature
of the dough to about 82 degrees F.
The flour, except about one cupful,
should be added to the liquid and
mixed thoroughly with spoon, the
bands, or t mechanical bread mixer.
All the flour may be added at once If
experience has shown the s mount nec
essary. It la Impossible, however, to
tell beforehand how much flour will be
required unless flour from this lot bus
been .nsed. The dough should be as
soft as It can bo conveniently han
dled, but It should not be sticky.
More flour Is required with wster then
with milk.
