Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. This smells to heaven while it is fermenting, but is a welcome change after a long diet of baking-powder breadstuffs.
  2. For a baking of two or three loaves take about a pint of moderately warm water (a pleasant heat to the hand) and stir into it as much flour as will make a good batter, not too thick.
  3. Add _ to this one-half teaspoonful salt, not more.
  4. Set the vessel in a pan of moderately warm water, within a little distance of a fire, or in sunlight.
  5. The water must not be allowed to cool much below the original heat, more warm water being added to pan as required.
  6. In six to eight hours the whole will be in active fermentation, when the dough must be mixed with it, and as much warm water (milk, if you have it) as you require.
  7. Knead the mass till it is tough and does not stick to the board.
  8. Make up your loaves, and keep them warmly covered near the fire till they rise.
  9. They must be baked as soon as this second rising takes place;
  10. for, unless the rising is used immediately on reaching its height, it sinks to rise no more.
