Chapter 7 - Breads And Cakes

Don't Bake—Air-Dry

Whole Wheat Bread

½ cup whole certified raw milk
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon coarse salt
l½ tablespoons olive or peanut oil
1 cake or package of yeast
½ cup water
 
The thiamine B in wheat and richness in yeast are heavy in whole wheat bread. The husks remain and contribute towards building a good nervous system and a strong heart.
 
Warm milk, add honey, salt and oil. Combine water with yeast and add to first mixture. Add flour gradually and using a little flour on board, knead into a smooth firm dough. Pat into ball-like shape and place in a greased bowl. Cover with a cloth and let the dough rise again to double its bulk. Knead again and divide into two equal parts; brush the dough with a little oil so that a crust will not form, and let it rise again. Fold the dough again, and shape into small loaves. Let rise again, put into oven with temperature at 150 to 200° for five minutes. AIR-DRY for 20 minutes with heat off. (Heat oven beforehand, very hot.) The bread may remain in oven for an hour, or until ready to serve.

Wheat And Corn Meal Bread

Same as above in procedure.
With this substitution: (for 3 cups wheat flour)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cornmeal or corn flour
 
The incompleteness of corn is taken care of with the whole wheat. Another true staff of life.

Oatmeal Bread

2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
1 cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup warm water
1 pkg. yeast
½ cup certified raw milk
2 teaspoons coarse salt
4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive or peanut oil
 
The minerals and starch of porridge are all here. Asa cereal, oats are the most nutritious. Oats are also noted for their contribution towards an improvement of the nervous system. As such, they can be considered a natural sedative.
 
Use the same procedure for preparing the dough as for the whole wheat bread with the substitution of oats for whole wheat. Temperature 150-200°
20 minutes with heat off 5 minutes with heat on Start with very hot oven. Turn heat off and leave bread in oven 60 minutes.

Rye Bread

Same ingredients as above, but substitute flour: 
4 cups whole rye flour

Ranks high in protein.

Same procedure as for breads indicated in previous recipes.

Corn Bread

4 cups certified raw milk
l½ cups cornmeal
½ teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon olive, corn, or peanut oil
4 beaten eggs
 
More Vitamins A, B and C in this bread than in oats or rye. The incompleteness of corn as a protein is overcome by use of milk and eggs.
 
Soak cornmeal in milk for about an hour. Add salt, oil and eggs. Pour into well-greased pan and place in very hot oven for about 5 minutes, then for 5 minutes in 200° oven and finally leave in for 45 minutes with heat turned off.

English Muffins

1 cup certified raw milk
3 tablespoons peanut or corn oil
½ teaspoon coarse salt
2-3 tablespoons honey
1 package of yeast
1 egg, beaten
3½ cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cornmeal
 
In the yeast (true of all these breads) is found the best source of Vitamin B, since it stores up vitamins. Bread that is exposed to sunlight has the added Vitamin D.
 
Combine milk with oil, honey, salt and yeast already dissolved in water. Add egg and flour. Beat until well combined. Then, stirring in the remaining flour, knead on the floured board until dough is elastic. Place in a greased bowl for about an hour or two or until double in bulk. Punch down and roll dough out on floured board to ¾ inch thickness. Cut into circular cookie shapes, 4 inches wide in diameter and place on a cookie sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover with wax paper and allow to rise in a warm place until double their size in bulk. Turn and sprinkle with remaining cornmeal. AIR-DRY in low heat on an ungreased pan until slightly tanned on both sides. (3-5 minutes)

Whole Bran Bread

l½ cups whole bran
1 cup certified raw milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons olive or peanut oil
½ cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon coarse salt
 
The calcium and phosphorus so needed in building bone, teeth and body tissue prevail here. The stimulation of bran for regulating the elimination junction is not to be overlooked. Cleansing the body is primary as a requisite for good health.
 
Let bran and milk stand for 3 minutes together. Add beaten egg, oil, honey and salt. Then combine the wheat flour with the bran mixture. In greased pan place in oven and leave for 5 minutes, then 30 minutes, with heat off. May be in longer.

All of these breads may be made into "muffins" by being "air-dried" in regular muffin tins. Place these in oven with heat on for five minutes and then with heat off for ten minutes. The same amount of heat as for the breads.

Whole Wheat Pancakes

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup certified raw milk (sweet or sour)
1 egg
2 tablespoons olive, corn or peanut oil
