English Brown Bread

Instructions

1. Take a portion only of the unbolted meal recommended in the preceding receipt, and mix it with more or less of fine flour, according to the quality of bread required. In many families the coarse bran is always sifted from the meal, as an impression exists that it is irritating to the stomach.
2. If one gallon of meal, as it comes from the mill, be well mixed with an equal measure of flour, and made into a dough in the manner directed for white household bread, the loaves will still be sufficiently brown for the general taste in this country.
3. Made so, the bread will be good and wholesome, though not, perhaps, so entirely easy of digestion as Baron Liebig's Bavarian bread.
