Rye Bread
- 1 cup yeast
- 1 pint warm water
- 2 pints rye flour
- 1 pint wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons lard
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 quart warm milk
- 1 cup Indian meal
Mix together yeast, warm water, rye flour, flour, lard and brown sugar. Beat together, and let rise over night. In the morning mix with this: One quart of warm milk, cone cup of Indian meal, enough rye flour to make into dough. Knead; cover, set in a warm place to rise two or three hours. Knead again, and make into loaves. If there is the least tendency to sourness, add a teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in warm water. It is best to always add this in warm weather. Rub soda smooth with a knife blade before measuring.
