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.

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.
Delectable pancakes are readily made with Lake of the Woods Breakfast Food.

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.

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.

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~
