Ingredients

1 lb. of "good "flour--JUST MAKE SURE IT'S GOOD

1/4 lb. moist ( lump or New Orleans sugar) Don't ask me what kind of sugar this is- you tell me --JUST MAKE SURE IT'S MOIST

1/2 ounce salt

2 gallons of water

Directions

Boil one pound good flour, a quarter of a pound of moist ( lump or New Orleans) sugar, and half an ounce of salt in two gallons of water for one hour.

When nearly cold, bottle and cork it closely.

It will be fit for use in twenty-four hours.

One pint of this mixture will make eighteen pounds of bread!!

Now, I will ask the questions, and maybe you have the answers!

# 1=After I cork it closely how long do I wait before it blows up ?

# 2 =If I use the whole 2 gallons ++of yeast how many bread pans do I need & where can I find a store with fabulous discounts?

# 3= How many days will it take me to make all this?

# 4= How many ovens does my husband have to buy?

#5= Do you have a friend who works for the electric company or how many trees do we have to cut down for firewood

#6= How many freezers do I need?

# 7= These questions can go on and on.

This is where I must stop & apologize to whoever the person is or was that originated this recipe. When I first found it in all my old,old recipes handed down I had a little fun with it & hope all of you my Cookin buddies will do the same.!Again if this recipe belongs to any of you or your family I deeply apologize & hope you will forgive me. Have fun. Cheri-

Wow that is a lot of yeast. I do know that there is an Amish Starter recipe that does not use yeast in the recipe and I wonder if this is similar to it. I don't understand why a person would make so much at a time but I suppose back in 'the old days' they used it up fast.

I suppose their flour got 'buggy' fast hence the recipe calls for making sure the flour is good.

Thanks for sharing this. It made me smile. :)

Thanks. Still searching re: yeast recipe. I came up with a notation about "pioneer days" Maybe all the woman in the settlement did the baking from this batch of yeast. I find it very interesting & sure admire those woman if this is what happened.
