THE MAKING OF BREAD
(Editor's Note)
N BREAD-M.AKING there is no such thing as "luck." It is mereJy
the effect that follows the use of the best flour, the best yeast and
the proper method. The making of bread can now be made a
simple, sanitary process involving little, if any, physical effort and
very little time.
A chief purpose of the Five Roses Cook Book is to save the
housewife baking worries, to indicate the proper methods, because
nobody works so hard as the person who works badly.
Over two thousand of the very finest cooks in Canada have con-
tributed their baking secrets to this book, and it is from these contributions that
the following bread rules have been selected. Since it is a well-known fact that
we have not ali the same success with the same recipes, the wisdom of securing
different methods for the same purpose is evident.
Each separate recipe having received careful checking at the bands of the Five
Roses expert, there need be no fear of wasted material or disappointment, if the
rules be closely followed.
The following pages reflect the various methods of bread-making in favour among
users of Five Roses flour in every province of Canada. There is a suffi.cient variety
at hand to suit ali conditions which can possibly arise due to weather, convenience,
economy, time, or object in view.
While each rule carries its own particular directions, yet a few general sugges·
tions will prove worthy of attention.

HOW TO MAKE DAIN TY
SAND .WICH ES
Specially prepared for Five Roses Cook Book
(For various bread recipes, see general index)
NDWICHES are almost perfect food. They are made from bread,
which is the great life-sustainer, and the filling supplies in tempting,
digestible form the only food essential which bread lacks-fat.
Wishing to give your sandwiches the utmost food value, you
should use Five Roses flour for bread. Made from tl~e purest
Manitoba wheat expertly ground, your bread necessarily possesses
the energy-building and muscle-making constituents to be f.ound at
their best in this flour.
Besides being the picnic stand-by, sandwiches are deservedly
popular in many emergencies, such as inf0rmalluncheons , or "muncheons," as a witty
woman once called them.
Those whose folks are fond of bread will welcome the following sandwich sugges-
tions.

BUNS OF ALL KINDS
UE to the unusual expansion of Five Roses flour, slacker batters and
doughs are advisable. Also mould your huns rather smaller than
usual, as they will swell surprisingly.
Buns should bake in from 15 to 20 minutes. As in the case
of bread, Five Roses flour produces a dough that is highly elastic
and fi.nely textured, so that the huns will continue to expand in
your oven, if given the time and space to do so. Care should there-
fore be exercised that the oven is not too hot at fi.rst . The concen-
trated strength of Five Roses, an effect of its great gluten content,
will keep your huns fresh and moist long after huns made from other flours have
become harsh and tasteless.

BISCUITS
IX the flour, baking powder and salt together and dry thoroughly.
The best way to do this is to sift these ingredients together 2 or 3
times. Use cold milk or water, as the case may be.
After rolling out biscuit dough, if you let it stand a few minutes
before and after cutting into shapes, it will considerably improve
the texture and lightness.
Biscuits require from 10 to 20 minutes to bake properly.
Shortening may be sweet lard, or dripping, or butter, or a mix-
·ture. Vegetable lards and other shortenings are now being used
considerably with sorne satisfaction. See that the shortening is soft enough to rub
easily. Use broad, flexible knife for cutting and mixing.
Successful biscuits follow the use of Five Roses flour, a slack dough, quick mixing
and as little handling as possible.

A PURE WHEAT BREAKFAST
FOOD
(Made by the Five Roses millers from the same wheat as the flour)
E did not ourselves appreciate the delicacy of taste and nutri·
tive value of the Five Roses Breakfast Food until its consis-
tently increasing sales forced its merits upon our attention.
The really distinctive feature is the natural wheat flavor of
this product. Made from identically the same splendid wheat
as Five Roses flour, it is really nothing else but the plump
Manitoba berry in its purest condition reduced expertly to an
even granulation. Unlike other similar cereals, it is not roasted,
baked, malted or otherwise prepared. There is therefore at
your disposai in an attractive readily-prepared form aU the nutrition and nutlike
quallties peculiar to the sun-ripened wheat kernels grown in our North· West.
So far its sale bas never been forced by advertising. It does not even possess
a distinctive name or package. ~
If we bad not been planning the Five Roses Cook Book you might never have
beard of this good food. When we asked our expert to suggest a few recipes, she
was truly amazed at the multitudinous uses of an article which so far we bad re-
garded simply as a by-product. By merely substituting a eup of the Breakfast Food
for every ti cups of Five Roses flour, any recipe contained in this book becomes
completely changed, and the result is very original, appetizing and digestible. Try
it for puddings, muffins, griddle cakes, fried cakes, cookies, rolls and dough nuts,
and biscuits, etc., etc.
As a Breakfast Food, there is nothing so truly wholesome and easily prepared.
And there is a certainty of digestion which creates confidence in the unfortunate
possessor of a weak stomach. The Editor has seen children, just weaned, fed con-
sistently on this cereal, and such happy, chubby babies are the very best advertise-
ment the food can ever have. They never seem to tire of it. Ask your grocer for
a trial package.
W e a pp end a few recipes which will suggest many other ways of using this de-
lightful wheaten product. Each recipe bas been tried and tested, and is guaranteed
by the publishers of the Five Roses Cook Book.

PAN CAKES
HEN using the yeast (overnight) batter, always keep at least one-
third of the mixture as a 11 mother" for next day's cakes. Set in a
cold place and keep well-covered. The evening before the cakes
are required, add hot water, salt to taste and Five Roses flour to
make thick batter.
Left-over batter should always be kept in a cool place in the
same pitcher in which it was mixed. If kept cold, it will not spoil;
in fact, freezing pancake batter adds to the quality of the cakes.
When the pancakes are sour, add a little soda, but limit this
ingredient as much as possible. In using sweet milk, add baking powder in the
mornin.g instead of soda.

HOW TO KEEP FLOUR

B EING highly absorbent, flour should not be exposed to contact with


other foods, vegetables, etc. It should be kept away from oils and
odars of all sorts.
It should be scrupulously free from damp, otherwise it will quickly
"work" and lose at least part of its baking qualities. When Five Roses
is purchased by the barrel, elevate the barrel so that there may be a free
current of air beneath it to prevent the flour at the bottom of the barrel
from becoming musty.
A farmer's wife who stacked her flour bags upstairs beside the kitchen
flue said that the last sacks used were very much whiter and made rouch
better bread than the first bags. This is because the flour was gradually
warmed through by the gentle heat, being aged and dried, which works
considerable improvement in a sound flour, making it much whiter and
livelier in the dough.
When mice become troublesome, a hint might be taken from the grocer
who kept these household pests from his flour and cereals by using fine
mesh steel wire to protect his bags and barrels.

GRIDDLE CAKES AND
WAFFLES
F you can geta soapstone griddle, use no other. Cakes are baked-
not fried-upon it, and are thereby made comparatively wholesome.
Set the gdddle at the side of the range and heat gradually at least one
hour before you begin to bake. If heated suddenly it is Hable to crack.
Clean with dry salt, then wipe with a dean cloth and it is ready for use.
N ev er allow a drop of grease to touch it.
If you have an iron griddle, lubricate with a bit of salt pork or ham
rind, leaving just enough grease on the surface to prevent sticking.
Soapstone and iron griddles alike need tempering or seasoning in
order to do their work weil. They are seldom just right at the :first trial. Give them
time and handle them patiently.-The New Home. Bake griddle cakes till porous and
crinkly at the edges.
Many housewives avoid smoke and odour by never greasing their griddles at all,
preferring to adda little more butter to the batter. Always clear the griddle between
each baking.
Those seeking new effects in griddle cakes and watfles will be surprised agreeably
by adapting Lake of the Woods Breakfast Food to th~ir favorite recipe.

PUDDINGS OF ALL KINDS
(For Sauces, Custards, etc., see page 65)

ABOUT BOILED PUDDINGS


EFORE attempting a boiled pudding, be sure that you have a good mold
with a tightly-fitting cover in which to cook it. You may use sùch a
substitute as a bowl with a floured cloth tied over the top, but this may
allow the water to enter and ruin your dough. The best substitute for
a mold is a lard pail with a top, which may be made more secure by
tying it on. Always grease your mold thoroughly-top, bottom, and
sides- and leave room for the swelling of the contents. Three hours
will be, as a rule, the longest time required for the boiling of a pud-
ding of ordinary size. Ail boiled puddings should be served as soon
as they are cooked. -Selected.

PASTRY BAKING AND
CRUST MAKING
Specially prepared for the Five Roses Cook Book
ERFECT PASTE requires few ingredients: flour, fat, water and COLD.
The last is not the least important. Everything connected with the
making of pastry should be thoroughly chilled, even the board and
rolling-pin should be dean, smooth and cool. If, however, the house-
wife can work in a very cool temperature, it will save a lot of
troublesome chilling of materials.
U nles s the hands are cool and dry, the shortening should not be
rubbed into the flour, not even with the tips of the fingers. A
flexible, broad-bladed knife should be used for cutting and rubbing
in the fat and mixing in the paste with the ice water. Handle paste as little as
possible.
The shortening may be butter or lard, or half and half, or any of the vegetable
shortening compounds now on the market. Of course, nothing can replace the flavor
or texture obtainable from the use of the best butter, but economy and convenience
are often factors requiring attention. Beef suet, dripping, meat fats are also used.
Keep your shortening firm and dry-butter that has been mellowed by heat }oses
strength, and the paste cannot spring and puff in the oven as it should. One very
useful pointer in making puff paste is to have the dough of the same consistency
as the butter, so that in summer it is necessary to have it rouch softer than in
win ter.
Too much water toughens pastry, fat makes it tender; therefore fat rather than
water should predominate in the mixture. Use only suffi.cient water to hold it to-
gether. It should be a smooth, dry mass easily lifted from the bowl; if it sticks
or adheres at any point, too much water has been added.
Sprinkle board and rolling pin with flour and roll lightly and evenly from front to
back of board, then lift roUer and begin again. Rolling in one direction and then in
another is sure to toughen the paste.
Sometimes, as will be seen from the varions recipes given in the following pages, a
little baking powder is added to make the crust lighter, sorne sugar to improve the
color, lemon juice to season slightly, white of egg to improve the texture, or yolk of egg
to give it a golden hue or gloss the outside surfaces. If the butter has been washed
free of salt, a little of the latter is sometimes added. These, however, are merely
tricks of the trade and not essential to a well-made paste.

MIXING AND BAKING


It is preferable to mix pastry severa} hours before it is to be rolled out. Keep on
ice until required. Before baking, pastry willlikewise improve considerably if set aside
for sorne time in a cool place. The basic idea of good pastry is COLD. In folding the
fat over and over again considerable air is enclosçd between the varions layers. If
everything is as cold as possible, the air in the dough will be chilled, and the colder
that is the more it will expand when heated. This lifts up the greased layers of crust,
then the heat penetrates and cooks the moistened flour.
Often a crust is so thick that it is not readily baked. One-eighth to one-fourth of
an inch is quite thick enough. Heat the oven for sorne time before baking the paste.
An oven that has just baked a batch of bread is hot enough to bake puff paste. The

I7I 1
[Pastry Baking and Crust Making]
heat should be grea ter at first in order to puff the layers well, and then reduced slightly to
thoroughly bake the paste. Ali paste should be thoroughly baked, even colored-it is
more digestible and crisp when over-baked than when under-baked. To prevent pastry
from burning while baking, a pan of water may be set in the oven.
The pastry recipes in the Five Roses cook book have ail been thoroughly checked
by an expert in that line. Sufficient variety is offered to please any taste and condition.
Measurements are level, unless otherwise specified. Always sift the flour.

PIES OF ALL KINDS
(Specially written for the Five Roses Cook Book)
lES are more of a luxury than a necessity, but, as Emerson said, "give
me the luxuries of life and 1 will do without the necessities."
So that it is not worth while wasting time and materials unless you
can make pies very good. The crust and fillings must be of the finest
quality. Always adhere to the Five Roses standard.
Crust-making rules are given elsewhere. See page 71.
N ev er grease a pie tin : there is an old ki tchen proverb which says
"it's a poor crust that will not grease its own plate."
The crust should be eut and rolled exactly to fit the tin and cover the
:filling without stretching. Otherwise it may toughen and even break, letting out the
filling, quite spoiling the appearance of the dish. Allowance should, however, be made
for shrinkage.
Prick well the crust of ali pies with fiuid fillings. This will allow the steam to escape
and also prevent the juice from running. To retain the juice, always put the sugar in
first under the fruit on the bottom crust.
Pie crusts may readily be shaped and baked some days beforehand and reheated
when required. If kept in a cool place, a well-made pie crust will keep for a long time.
All air bubbles between crust and tin should be gently forced out, working from centre
to sides.
Ali pastry requires a quick oven at the start, the smaller the shapes the quicker the
oven. Once the puffing is over the heat may be reduced, especially for custard or egg
fillings. Fruit pies should be allowed to cook slowly to avoid running over.
Wh en only one crust is used, the pas te may be made thicker.
After baking, pies should never be set on top of a hot stove, if you wish to avoid
sogginess.

CAKE MAKING AND BA·K ING
Specially prepared for the Five Roses Cook Book

MIXING
LEAR the kitchen table of every non-essential. Perfect cleanliness
should be observed in every detail. Have sleeves rolled up above
the elbows, and have hands and nails in perfect condition.
Read the recipe thoroughly at least once. Collect all necessary
ingredients and utensils beforehand.
All measurements are level, unless otherwise specified.
Have flour perfectly dry; sift and measure. In fact, all dry
ingredients should be measured ajter sitting.
Have pans ready greased. For this purpose fresh lard is preferred to butter. If the
cake is large and requires long baking (for instance, a fruit or loaf cake), line the
bottom with well-greased paper and sprinkle inside with a little flour, shaking out ali
loose flour before putting in the mixture.
The best utensil for mixing or beating is an earthen or stone bowl. It should be
slightly warmed. A wooden spoon is also preferable.
Do not stir the cake; always beat thoroughly, bringing the batter up from the
bottom of the bowl at every stroke. A consistent upward motion tends to improve the
texture considerably.
Ali ingredients should be the best obtainable, quite up to the Five Roses standard.
Butter that is watery or oily and not weil worked should never be used.
It is useful also to remember that too rich a cake breaks up easily; that too much
sugar makes a thick, hard crust; too much egg a tough cake.
Sour milk makes a spongy, light cake ; sweet milk, one that cuts like pound cake.
With sour milk, soda alone should be used ; with sweet milk, baking powder or soda
and cream of tartar. Cream of tartar and soda are often substituted for baking powder,
in which case allow 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar and a smaller one of soda to every
3 cups of Five Roses flour, and sift well together two or even three times.

DOUGHNUTS, CRULLERS
AND OTHER FRIED CAKES
HE fat should be ready when the doughnuts are eut. AU lard or
other fat to fry doughnuts, crullers or fritters must be sizzling hot.
Heat your fat gradually and test by dropping into it a small
spoonful of batter. If it rises at once to the surface, swells rapidly
and browns quickly, the fat is ready. Another test is to sprinkle
the smallest quantity of water when it should give off a erackling
sound. It is not at ail necessary that the fat should smoke like a
factory chimney.
Always have a large quantity eut before beginning to fry, and so
avoid the danger of fat cooling or smoking.
Avoid putting too many cakes into the fat at o e, else the heat will be reduced and,
instead of becoming erisp and toothsome, the outer surfaces will absorb the grease.
Care must be taken at this stage, or you may get "dough" nuts in the full sense of
the word-brown outside and uncooked dough within.
Doughnuts and fritters should fry in from 3 to 5 minutes. When crisp and golden
brown, remove from kettle with perforated spoon and set in heated colander or on
brown unglazed paper to drain free from grease. Roll while still hot in powdered sugar.
When properly made (and carefully hidden) these dainty goodies will not only keep
severa! weeks, but improve with age. Pack in a st6ne crock, sprinkling each layer with
powdered sugar.
If doughnuts be put into the oven and thoroughly re-heated before serving, they
will taste marvellously like pastry that has just been made.

FlLLING THE COOKY JAR
(Specially prepared for the Five Roses Cook Book)
OOKIES are the children's everlasting delight, in which case it is weil
to remember that "men are but children of a larger growth."
The following recipes will supply toothsome cookies that require
careful concealing if they are to 1 1 keep '' well.
Cookies, like pastry-because of the large proportion of fat they
contain-should be thoroughly chilled before any attempt is made to
roll out the dough. To ensure the best results, the dough should be
left standing in a cold place for a short time before rolling and cutting.
Use as little flour as possible. A void a stiff cooky dough, and roll
rather thin. Use a pancake turner for lifting the cookies into the pan for baking, also
in removing the cakes after baking.
Cookies should bake in about 10 minutes. The oven should be rather quick, not
too hot, however, as these cakes burn very easily. Cookies are at their best when two
or three days old.
The cooling and proper packing of these small cakes have much to do with their
keeping qualities. Cookies put into an earthen or stone jar, lined with a dean cloth,
while still hot, and kept closely covered will be much more melting and will keep their
aroma much longer than if allowed to cool exposed to the air.

EVERY time you fold and butter a pastry dough, every time
you roll it, you add an extra :fiake. When the beat expands
the cold air between the buttered flakes, each layer puffs and
springs in the oven. This is how puff paste îs made. Because
Five Roses flour has elasticity to spare, you can fold and roll
your pastry much thinner without snapping. Because Five
Roses resists fat absorption, your pastry is never soggy, nor do
the layers stick together-the shortening acts as an impenetrable
coating between the flakes. Because Five Roses is ground to
a uniform fineness, your pastry puffs evenly in the oven, and
you get that even :fiakiness of texture so much desired-thin as
tissue paper. If you really desire crisp, melting pie crust with
that nutty flavor peculiar to Manitoba wheat kernels alone,
follow the lead of the best pastry makers in Canada. Follow
their recipes. Use Five Roses flour~
