Graham Bread (one Loaf) Recipe

1. 1 pound Graham flour that is a real wheat meal
2. 1 cup lukewarm water
3. 1 cake compressed yeast
4. 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
5. 3 tablespoons molasses
6. 3 tablespoons cooking oil

1. Sift the flour to make it light and break up the lumps.
2. Do not throw away the bran.
3. Mix the bran with the flour that has been sifted.
4. Crumble the yeast cake into the lukewarm water and stir until it is completely dissolved.
5. Then stir in the salt, molasses, and oil.
6. Turn this mixture into the flour, and stir it to a dough with a spoon.
7. It should be too soft to knead.
8. Cover it tightly with a tin cover or several thicknesses of cloth.
9. Set it in a warm place to rise until a hole will sink in the dough when it is struck with the backs of the fingers.
10. Place the dough on a floured board and mold it into a hard roll.
11. Place the roll in an oiled bread tin and set it in a warm place to rise, covered with cloth.
12. When the top of the loaf is a little below the top of the pan, it is ready to put into the oven.
13. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees, but monitor it closely as the molasses is likely to scorch.
