Three Hour Yeast

  • 1 cup of flour
  • 2/3 cup of sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of salt
  • 1 pint of boiling water
  • 1 cup of hop yeast
  • 3 quarts of mashed boiled potatoes
  • 3 quarts of warm water
Take 1 cup of flour, 2/3 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of salt; pour atop this 1 pint of boiling water; let it cool, then add 1 cup of hop yeast. After this gets light, take 3 quarts of mashed boiled potatoes, and 3 quarts of lukewarm water and add to the other. It will be ready for use the next day. The 1 quart of this yeast and 1 quart of lukewarm water will make 6 loaves of bread. With this yeast, bread will rise in 3 hours and the bread can be baked the same day, which is quite an advantage.
