Nothing is better than a good loaf of home-made bread, and once the sim ple rules for bread baking have been mastered, light rolls, and all kinds of coffee cake can be baked at home. ,When baking with compressed yeast it is well to immerse it in a cup of cold water over night, or at least long enough to dissolve. This eliminates the strong odor without im pairing its strength, as the yeast germ lies dormant while under water. When ready to use, pour off the water; the yeast will have settled in bottom of cup. Now add a spoonful of sugar. This awakens the process of fermen tation and when yeast is added to the warm liquid, you have a reliable, sweet raising power which if treated right will never fail you. All ingredients must be lukewarm and dough kept in a warm place while raising. All meas urements are level. Use a graded half pint measuring cup and sift flour be fore measuring. Do not pack flour into cup, just slide it in lightly and, level off.) MILK BREAD. Ingredients for Sponge. Four and one-half cupfuls of sifted bread four. One teaspoonful of salt. One tablespoonful of lard and butter. Three cupfuls of milk and water (equal portions). One cake of compressed yeast. One tablespoonful of sugar. Method. Soak yeast in cold water over night, or at least long enough to dissolve. When ready to use, pour off water and add sugar, rub salt and shortening into flour, add yeast to liquid and beat into flour. Cover the raising pan and keep it moderately warm to raise until sponge has doubled in bulk and is full of bubbles. Method for Second Raising. Have ready four and one-half more cupfuls of sifted bread flour; begin to stir this into the light sponge until dough clears from sides of pan, then take onto a well floured board and knead in the rest of flour. From time to time raise the dough and let it drop' onto board. This breaks the little starch cells and makes the bread fine grained and light. When dough is smooth and elastic place back in pan, cover and let raise again until double in bulk. Now have ready well greased bread pans and divide the dough into three small or two large loaves, ac cording to the pans you have, as pans must be only two-thirds full to allow for raising Knead each loaf lightly and if air bubbles form, slap the loaf to break them When nice and smooth place the loaves in pan, with your hand press a slight cleft down center of loaf or score top a very little with a dull knife, cover with a towel and let raise again until near top of pan. Now bake in moderate heat until a golden color, and a toothpick when inserted comes out clean. BIread must be light weight and sound hollow when tapped so be sure to bake long enough. As soon as done remove from pan and set on wire rack to cool. DIVIDED BREAD. Method. W'hen baking milk bread divide the making of one loaf into small portions, the size of half an egg, roll them into finger lengths, and set close together in a greased bread pan. When light, bake as bread and when ready to serve break apart at each intersection. This is a good way if fresh bread is to be served warm, as the divisions when broken apart are much lighter than if a loaf is cut. GRAHAM BREAD. Ingredients. Three cupfuls bf finely milled gra ham flour. One teaspoonful of salt One teaspoonfuli of lard. One cupful of warm water. One cake of compressed yeast. Two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Method. Rub salt and tard into flour (which must not be silted). Soak yeast in cold water as d'rected for milk bread, pour off water and add sugar, stir in to warm water and beat into flour; beat hard, then cover and let raise to double its bulk, then beat down once more, pour into greased pan, and let raise again until pan is almost full, then bake in moderately hot oven until a toothpick comes out clean. HOW TO BAKE GERMAN COFFEE CAKE. So many housekeepers have accept ed the bakers' goods as the standard of excellence that they lose sight of the fact how much better and cheap er the really good home-made article is. Especially for a family with sev eral adults ct growing children, It will pay the cook to bake once or twice a wee', and offer her family the best that ean be produced for the money expevted. (When bak-ng with compressed yeast it Is well to Immerse it in a cup of cold water over night, or at least long enough to dissolve. This elimi. nates the strong odor without impair ing its strength, as the yeast germ lies dormant while under water. When ready to use pour off the water; the yeast will have settled in bottom of cup. Now add a spoonful of sugar. This at once awakens the process of fermentation and when yeast is added to the warm liquid you have a reli able, sweet raising power, which if treated right will never fall you. All ingredients must be luke warm and dough kept in a warm place while raising. All measurements are level. Use a graded half-pint measuring cup, and sift flour before measuring. Do not pack flour into cup, just slide it in lightly and level off.) PLAIN BREAD ROLLS. Method. Take a part of the bread dough and divide into small pieces, roll these in to little balls, and set side by side in a flat greased pan. When quite light, bake until well done and light brown. Rub tops with a little butter before breaking apart. These are best eaten fresh. ALMOND LOAF CAKE. Ingredients for Sponge. Two and one-half cupfuls of sifted bread flour. One teaspoonful of salt. One cupful of warm milk. One-half cupful of warm water. One cake of compressed yeast. One teaspoonful of sugar. Method. Soak yeast over night, or long enough to dissolve in cold water. When ready to use pour off the water and add sugar to yeast, add salt to flour, add yeast to warm liquid and beat into flour, cover and set aside until it has raised to double its bulk. Ingredients for Second Mixing. One-half cuptul of butter or good butterine. One cupful of fine granulated sugar. Three eggs. One-half cupful of blanched and shredded almonds. One-half teaspoonful of lemon ex tract. Two and one-half cupfuls of sifted flour. Method. Stir butter, sugar and eggs togeth er for ten minutes, add to sponge and beat five minutes.
