SALT RISING BREAD

 

3 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced meal

3 tbs corn meal

1 tsp sugar

flour

4 cups boiling water

2 cups lukewarm milk

1 cup water

1/8 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp salt

2 tbs melted shortening

 

Boil 4 cups water in medium pot.  Remove from heat and add potatoes, corn meal, salt, and sugar.  Cover pot with cloth and keep in a warm place overnight.  Take out potatoes, add milk, soda, second salt, and shortening.  Add enough flour to make dough stiff when kneading on a floured surface.  Form into four loaves and let dough rise to double.  Place on cookie sheet and bake in cardboard oven at 400 until top is slightly browned.
