Mix the whole into a dough. Then let it rise
for about three- quarters of an hour in a warm place, covered as before. Next cut it up into loaves of the desired weight. Mould these on a board. Leave them for about half-an-hour to rise. Then put them into shapes or tins, and about a quarter of an hour later they can be placed in the oven, which should be a " quick " oven. The bread takes about thirty to thirty-five minutes to bake in one-pound loaves, and about fifty minutes to bake in two-pound loaves. Imagine how much the Food Controller might be helped in his task if people throughout the country would take to baking bread according to this recipe 1 The saving would be enormous. - And there would be a new incentive to grow a bumper potato crop in the coming season. The potato would appear in what would be an entirely new light to most people as a kind of potential bread.
