#3 SALT RISING BREAD At night, mix 1 and 3/4 cups of flour with 1/4 cup of cornmeal. Stir this mixture into 2 cups of lukewarm water. When well mixed, pour into a pitcher or tall container. Keep in a warm place overnight. In the morning, if the rising has "worked," (8-10 hours later), add: One quart of scalded milk that has been cooled to lukewarm, 2 teaspoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of shortening, and add enough flour (about 12-14 cups) to make a soft dough that can be easily handled. Cover and let rise in a bowl, making sure to keep dough at even temperature. When dough is light, knead down well and put into pans. Let rise until twice in size. (1 ½ to 2 hours). Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes. Makes four very large and beautiful loaves of bread.
