BREAD MADE OF RICE AND FLOUR MIXED.

Rice is an excellent substitute for wheat flour. The following receipt for the mixture yields a solid and palatable bread.

Soften well by a slow fire a pound of rice with three quarters of a gallon of water. When it has acquired a certain degree of heat, mix up with it, well, four pounds of flour, some salt and yeast, as in making common bread; knead it and put it near the fire to rise. This will give eight pounds and a half of good bread. If the rice seems to require more water, add, for there are several qualities of rice which swell more than others.
