Rice Bread
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- To every lb. of rice
- 4 lb wheat flour
- nearly 3 tablespoonfuls of yeast
- 1/4 oz salt
Instructions
- Boil the rice in water until it is quite tender;
- pour off the water, and put the rice, before it is cold, to the flour.
- Mix these well together with the yeast, salt, and sufficient warm water to make the whole into a smooth dough;
- let it rise by the side of the fire, then form it into loaves, and bake them from 1-1/2 to 2 hours, according to their size.
- If the rice is boiled in milk instead of water, it makes very delicious bread or cakes.
- When boiled in this manner, it may be mixed with the flour without straining the liquid from it.
