French Bread Recipe

After softening one cake of compressed yeast in one-half cup lukewarm

water, stir in enough flour to make a very stiff dough. Knead well,

shaping into a ball. Make two cuts on top about one-quarter inch deep.

Place in a pan of tepid water until it swells and floats. When very

light put into a bowl containing one-half cup salted water, stir in

enough flour to make a stiff dough. Let stand in a temperature of 68 or

70 degrees F. until light. Shape into loaf, let lighten again and bake.
