German Bread
- 1 pint milk, well boiled
- 4 ounces sugar
- 2 Tbsps butter
- 2/3 cup baker's yeast
- Flour
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Make a rising with the milk and yeast. When light, mix in the sugar and shortening, with enough flour to make as soft a dough as can be handled. Flour the paste board well. Roll out about 1/2 inch thick. Put this quantity into 2 large pans. Make about a dozen indentures with the finger on the top. Put a small piece of butter in each and sift over the whole 1 Tbsp of sugar mixed with cinnamon. Let this stand for a second rising. When perfectly light, bake in a quick oven at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes (be patient, you rascal).
