E BREAD, No. 2
Sift three cups of rye flour, three cups of wheat flour and two
teaspoons of salt in a bowl. Dissolve one-half cake of compressed yeast
or any other yeast in two cups of lukewarm water. When the yeast is
dissolved pour it into the flour and make into a dough. Lay it on a
kneading board, and knead until smooth and elastic, put it back into the
bowl, cover with a towel, and set aside overnight to rise. Next morning,
lay the dough on a biscuit or kneading board again and knead well. Make
into a loaf, put into a pan, and when well risen, moisten the top with a
little cold water and bake in a moderate oven.
ZWIEBEL PLATZ
Take a piece of rye bread dough. After it has risen sufficiently roll
out quite thin, butter a long cake pan and put in the rolled dough.
Brush with melted butter; chop some onions very fine, strew thickly on
top of cake, sprinkle with salt, put flakes of butter here and there.
Another way is to chop up parsley and use in place of onions. Then
called "Petersilien Platz."

bake in a moderate oven for forty-five minutes.

roll. Cut into small even pieces, and shape with thumb and fingers into
round balls. Set close together in a shallow pan, let rise until double

rolls are desired, set apart in a shallow pan, bake well, and cool in
draft.
TEA ROLLS
Scald one cup of milk and when lukewarm dissolve one cake of compressed
yeast and add one and one-half cups of flour. Beat thoroughly, cover and
allow to stand until light. Add one-quarter cup of sugar, one and
