Entire Wheat and White Flour Bread
Use same ingredients as for Entire Wheat Bread, with exception of flour. For flour use three and one-fourth cups entire wheat and two and three-fourths cups white flour. The dough should be slightly kneaded, and if handled quickly will not stick to board. Loaves and biscuits should be shaped with hands instead of pouring into pans, as in Entire Wheat Bread.

Graham Bread

2 cups hot liquid (water, or milk and water) 1/4 yeast cake dissolved in
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1/3 cup molasses 3 cups flour
21/2 teaspoons salt 3 cups Graham flour
Prepare and bake as Entire Wheat Bread. The bran remaining in sieve after sifting Graham flour should be discarded. If used for muffins, use two and one-half cups liquid.

Third Bread
2 cups lukewarm water 1 cup rye flour
1 yeast cake 1 cup granulated corn meal
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup molasses 3 cups flour
Dissolve yeast cake in water, add remaining ingredients, and mix thoroughly. Let rise, shape, let rise again, and bake as Entire Wheat Bread.

Rolled Oats Bread

2 cups boiling water 1/2 yeast cake dissolved in
1/2 cup molasses 1/2 cup lukewarm water
1/2 tablespoon salt 1 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon butter 5 cups flour
Add boiling water to oats and let stand one hour; add molasses, salt, butter, dissolved yeast cake, and flour; let rise, beat thoroughly, turn into buttered bread pans, let rise again, and bake. To make shaping of biscuits easy, take up mixture by spoonfuls, drop into plate of flour, and have palms of hands well covered with flour before attempting to shape, or drop from spoon into buttered muffin tins.

Rye Biscuit

1 cup boiling water 11/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup rye flakes 1 yeast cake dissolved in
2 tablespoons butter 1 cup lukewarm water
1/3 cup molasses Flour
Make same as Rolled Oats Bread.

Rye Bread
1 cup scalded milk 11/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup boiling water 1/4 yeast cake dissolved in
1 tablespoon lard 1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 tablespoon butter 3 cups flour
1/3 cup brown sugar Rye meal
To milk and water add lard, butter, sugar, and salt; when lukewarm, add dissolved yeast cake and flour, beat thoroughly, cover, and let rise until light. Add rye meal until dough is stiff enough to knead; knead thoroughly, let rise, shape in loaves, let rise again, and bake.

Date Bread
Use recipe for Health Food Muffins . After the first rising, while kneading, add two-thirds cup each of English walnut meats cut in small pieces, and dates stoned and cut in pieces. Shape in a loaf, let rise in pan, and bake fifty minutes in a moderate oven. This bread is well adapted for sandwiches.

Boston Brown Bread
1 cup rye meal 3/4 tablespoon soda
1 cup granulated corn meal 1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Graham flour 3/4 cup molasses
2 cups sour milk, or 13/4 cups sweet milk or water
Mix and sift dry ingredients, add molasses and milk, stir until well mixed, turn into a well-buttered mould, and steam three and one-half hours. The cover should
be buttered before being placed on mould, and then tied down with string; otherwise the bread in rising might force off cover. Mould should never be filled more than two-thirds full. A melon-mould or one-pound baking-powder boxes make the most attractive-shaped loaves, but a five-pound lard pail answers the purpose. For steaming, place mould on a trivet in kettle containing boiling water, allowing water to come half-way up around mould, cover closely, and steam, adding, as needed, more boiling water.

New England Brown Bread
11/2 cups stale bread 11/2 Rye meal
31/4 cups cold water 11/2 Granulated corn meal
3/4 cup molasses 11/2 Graham flour
11/2 teaspoons salt 3 teaspoons soda
Soak bread in two cups of the water over night. In the morning rub through colander, add molasses, dry ingredients mixed and sifted, and remaining water. Stir until well mixed, fill buttered one-pound baking-powder boxes two-thirds full, cover, and steam two hours.

Indian Bread
11/2 cups Graham flour 1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Indian meal 1/2 cup molasses
1/2 tablespoon soda 12/3 cups milk
Mix and steam same as Boston Brown Bread.

Steamed Graham Bread
3 cups Arlington meal 1 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour 1 cup molasses (scant)
31/2 teaspoons soda 21/2 cups sour milk
Mix same as Boston Brown Bread and steam four hours. This bread may often be eaten when bread containing corn meal could not be digested.

Parker House Rolls
2 cups scalded milk 2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter 1 yeast cake dissolved in
2 tablespoons sugar 1/4 cup lukewarm water
Flour
Add butter, sugar, and salt to milk; when lukewarm, add dissolved yeast cake and three cups of flour. Beat thoroughly, cover, and let rise until light; cut down, and add enough flour to knead (it will take about two and one-half cups). Let rise again, toss on slightly floured board, knead, pat, and roll out to one-third inch thickness. Shape with biscuit-cutter, first dipped in flour. Dip the handle of a case knife in flour, and with it make a crease through the middle of each piece; brush over one-half of each piece with melted butter, fold, and press edges together. Place in greased pan, one inch apart, cover, let rise, and bake in hot oven twelve to fifteen minutes. As rolls rise they will part slightly, and if hastened in rising are apt to lose their shape.

Parker House Rolls may be shaped by cutting or tearing off small pieces of dough, and shaping round like a biscuit; place in rows on floured board, cover, and let rise fifteen minutes. With handle of large wooden spoon, or toy rolling-pin, roll through centre of each biscuit, brush edge of lower halves with melted butter, fold, press lightly, place in buttered pan one inch apart, cover, let rise, and bake.

Bread for Garnishing
Dry toast is often used for garnishing, cut in various shapes. Always shape before toasting. Cubes of bread, toast points, and small oblong pieces are most common. Cubes of stale bread, from which centres are removed, are fried in deep fat and called croûstades; half-inch cubes, browned in butter, or fried in deep fat, are called croûtons.
Uses for Stale Bread
All pieces of bread should be saved and utilized. Large pieces are best for toast. Soft stale bread, from which crust is removed, when crumbed, is called stale bread crumbs, or raspings, and is used for puddings, griddle-cakes, omelets, scalloped dishes, and dipping food to be fried. Remnants of bread, from which crusts have not been removed, are dried in oven, rolled, and sifted. These are called dry bread crumbs, and are useful for crumbing croquettes, cutlets, fish, meat, etc.
