    Cooking

    BREAD AND ROLLS

    Never waste stale bread, as it may be used to advantage in many ways. The young housewife will be surprised at the many good, wholesome and appetizing dishes which may be made from stale bread, with the addition of eggs and milk. (See also page 31).

    ZWEIBACH

    Cut wheat bread in slices not too thin. Place in a warm, not hot, oven, and allow it to remain until thoroughly dry and crisp; or, place in a toaster or a wire broiler over a hot fire and toast a golden brown. Keep in a cool place until used. Zweibach is considered more wholesome than fresh bread.

    GRAHAM BREAD (An old recipe)

    2cups sour milk

    2cups sweet milk or water

    1teaspoon soda (saleratus)

    Graham flour

    1/2cup molasses

    1tablespoon melted butter

    Pinch of salt

    Stiffen about as thick as ordinary molasses cake. Bake at once.

    NUT BREAD

    3cups graham flour

    1cup wheat flour

    4teaspoons baking powder

    1cup chopped English walnuts

    1cup sugar

    1small tsp Mapeline flavoring (if liked)

    1/2cup milk

    Pinch salt

    1/2cup floured raisins (seeded)

    Put in a good-sized bread pan and bake an hour in a moderate oven. Strange as it may seem, this bread is lighter and better if allowed to stand a half hour before being placed in the oven to bake.

    PULLED BREAD

    Take a Vienna loaf of bread, about twelve hours old, cut away all the crust with a clean-cut knife, then break away gently (with your fingers only) small finger-lengths of the bread, place in a moderate oven and brown a golden brown, and it is ready to serve. ’Tis said six loaves will be required for one pound of this pulled bread. ’Tis easily prepared in the home, but quite costly, when purchased. Many people prefer pulled bread to fresh bread, as it is more wholesome.

    A WHOLESOME BREAD (Made from Bran)

    Place in a bowl 4 cups of clean bran and 2 cups of white flour, sifted with 2 teaspoonfuls of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Mix into a soft batter with 2 cups of sweet milk; add 1/2 cup of molasses. Fill two layer cake pans and bake in a hot oven about 25 min. This is so easily and quickly made. The young housewife may mix, when commencing to prepare lunch, and when the meal is ready to serve the bread will be baked, and it is an excellent laxative.

    NUT AND RAISIN BREAD

    2cups buttermilk, or sour milk

    1/2cup brown sugar

    2cups graham
