until you have a stiff dough. It must be stiff enough to knead on a lightly
floured board. Knead till smooth and elastic. Cover with a warm damp cloth
and let set in a warm place till double in bulk. Punch down and let it rise
to double in bulk again. Form into loaves and place into well greased pans.
Cover and let the dough rise again till double in bulk. Bake in a hot oven,
415 degrees for about 45 minutes or until done. Good served warm with
coffee.
