Mrs. Albert Klingler Enjoys Letter-Writing in Mid-Winter By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Top of the morning to you readers! February, allready yet, as the Dutchman would say, and before you know it, it’s going to be spring. I almost enjoy baking bread this time of the year, and do you know where I put the bread to raise? I place it in the cabinet that is built over the top of the refrigerator. We have a gas re frigerator and heat rises up from the grill at the back of the top of he refrigerator and it makes just enough warmth to make the bread raise nicely. I always try to use potato water in home made bread, half potato water and half milk. The milk for nutrition and because it also makes better bread, better toast. The potato water because it makes a more moist, more nu tritious bread. Our grandmoth ers knew this secret and used to let their bread raise in the “warming ovens” at the top of their cook stove. They weren’t really ovens but sort of cabinet affairs where homemakers kept skillets and such, and thev were warm when there was a fire. When my bread is baked, while it is still warm, I always dip a clean cloth in lard and grease the loaves lightly. Makes a softer crust and a real good color, too. 4 Deep freezes are wonderful for home baked bread. When the bread is thoroughly cooled, I wrap it in freezer paper and seal. The bread when thawed out a loaf at a time, tastes as fresh as if it had just been baked—and is very good. Early day pioneers in farther north countries, and Alaska sour doughs knew this. They used to bake multiple loaves of bread, freeze them by wrap ping and hanging outside and then use them as needed. •—tfw— O’Neill, Nebr.
