No. 3105 — American Wheat Bread
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3105 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Beat together 7 zolotniks dry yeast, 4 glasses warm milk, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 3½ pounds sifted fine wheat flour and 3 teaspoons salt.
The dough should be rather loose. Leave it in a warm place; after 1½ hours it is ready to bake. Transfer to oblong tin moulds, filling them halfway, and bake in a hot oven for an hour.
