two
or three currants and a little syrup on each piece of bread, and press
two pieces together. These may be varied by using sliced maraschino
cherries. Either the currants or sliced cherries with a little of the
syrup may be mixed with the cheese and then spread upon the bread.
Bar-le-Duc currants are imported from France in tiny glasses. The seeds
have been removed from the currants, which are cooked in honey.

=Hunter's Sandwich (Ellwanger).=

BREAD AND CHOU PASTE.

She needeth least, who kneadeth best,
These rules which we shall tell;

=Two Loaves of Wheat Bread.=

To two cups of scalded milk or boiled water, in a mixing-bowl, add two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, and, when the liquid
becomes lukewarm, one yeastcake dissolved in half a cup of water, boiled
and cooled. With a broad-bladed knife cut and mix in enough well-dried
flour, sifted, to make a stiff dough (about seven cups). Knead until the
dough is elastic; cover, and set to rise in a temperature of about 70 deg.
Fahr. When the dough has doubled in bulk, "cut down" and knead slightly
without removing from the mixing-bowl. When again double in bulk, shape
into two double loaves and set to rise in buttered pans; when it has
risen a third time, bake one hour.

=Entire-Wheat Bread.=

Use the preceding recipe without change other than in kind of flour and
two additional tablespoonfuls of sugar.

=Rice Bread.=

Add three-fourths a cup of rice, cooked until tender and still hot, and,
also, two tablespoonfuls of butter, to the milk or water in the first
recipe. Other cereals, as oatmeal or cerealine, may be used instead of
rice.

=Salad Rolls.=

Make a sponge with one cup of milk, one yeastcake dissolved in
one-fourth a cup of milk, and about one cup and a half of flour; beat
thoroughly, cover, and set to rise in a temperature of about 70 deg. Fahr.
When light add half a teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth a cup of melted
butter,
