Indian-Corn-Flour Bread

Ingredients

• 4 lb flour
• 2 lb Indian-corn flour
• 2 tablespoonful yeast
• 3 pint warm water
• 1/4 oz salt

Instructions

1. Mix the two flours well together, with the salt; make a hole in the centre, and stir the yeast up well with 1/2 pint of the warm water;
2. put this into the middle of the flour, and mix enough of it with the yeast to make a thin batter; throw a little flour over the surface of this batter, cover the whole with a thick cloth, and set it to rise in a warm place.
3. When the batter has nicely risen, work the whole to a nice smooth dough, adding the water as required;
4. knead it well, and mould the dough into loaves;
5. let them rise for nearly 1/2 hour, then put them into a well-heated oven.
6. If made into 2 loaves, they will require from 1-1/2 to 2 hours baking.
