When Indian is used, it should be salted, and
scalded, before the other meal is put in. A mixture of other grains is
economical when flour is high.
_Dyspepsia Bread_.--The American Farmer publishes the following
receipt for making bread, which has proved highly salutary to persons
afflicted with that complaint, viz:--Three quarts unbolted wheat meal;
one quart soft water, warm, but not hot; one gill of fresh yeast; one
gill of molasses, or not, as may suit the taste; one tea-spoonful of
saleratus.
This will make two loaves, and should remain in the oven at least
one hour; and when taken out, placed where they will cool gradually.
Dyspepsia crackers can be made with unbolted flour, water and
saleratus.
_To make Rice Bread_.--Boil a pint of rice soft; add a pint of leaven;
then, three quarts of the flour; put it to rise in a tin or earthen
vessel until it has risen sufficiently; divide it into three parts;
then bake it as other bread, and you will have three large loaves.
Heating ovens must be regulated by experience and observation.
There is a difference in wood in giving out heat; there is a great
difference in the construction of ovens; and when an oven is extremely
cold, either on account of the weather, or want of use, it must be
heated more.
