Do you spend half an hour a week going to some special store or bakery for your favorite loaf of bread? Do you spend a couple of hours on odds and ends around the house? Well—then you can actually save 10 or 15 minutes each week by baking your own bread! So "it takes too long to bake bread at home" is no excuse. And the results will soon make all store bread tasteless. Here is your "no excuse" recipe:

Breads & Rolls
3 lbs. freshly ground whole- 1 tsp. salt
wheat flour 1 tsp. honey, raw sugar or un
1 qt. warm water, whey or potato water or milk 1 pkg. dry powdered yeast.

Have all ingredients at room temperature. Soften yeast in a little warm water, add honey, sugar or molasses and set aside about 15 minutes, while you eat breakfast or wash the dishes. Mix flour and salt with a wooden spoon. Gradually stir in yeast mixture. Add water or milk until dough is consistency of thick porridge (more moist than the usual bread dough). Spoon dough into 3 greased pans, set in warm place until dough rises nearly to top of pans. This will allow you another 20-30 minutes to do more of those odds and ends about the house. Bake at 375°, 45-60 minutes, until crusty. Turn out on rack to cool.
