HOME MADE BREAD Bread making is very rewarding, and since so many wrapped,


sliced products have been on the market, perceptive housewives have taken to yeast cookery in a big way. This recipe for milk bread baps is nourishing, and not as time consuming as one might think if making dough for the first time, ,


You need:


1 lb. plain flour, 2 level teaspoons salt, 2 oz. butter, •


1 pint milk, 1 level teaspoon.sugar.


i or. fresh yeast or 2 level teaspoons dried yeast, I beaten egg. • •


Sift flour and salt into a bowl, make 'a hollow in the centre.


Meltt butter gently in a saucepan, remove from the heat and add most of the milk.


Warm remaining milk with the sugar (only to blood heat) and


mix into the yeast. Pour all liquid and egg into the flour, mix and beat with the hand until dough leaves fingers clean.


Put dough into a greased polythene bag and leave at normal


kitchen temperature about 1} hours until doubled in size. Turn dough■ on to a floured table, knead thoroughly and break off 10 or 12 pieces.


Shape each into a fiat round, dent the surfaces with fingertip


and brush with flour. Place on floured tins, cover and leave to double (almost) in size.


Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at gas mark 6, electricity 400 F. Cool wrapped in_a clean cloth to keep crusts soft.
