Light Bread

[donna]

There is nothing like the smell of baking bread. This is old recipe from Kentucky is for Light Bread.

Take one quart of flour, four tables00nfuls of yeast, one tablespoonful of granulated sugar, one dessertspoonful of lard and a little salt. In summer, make up cold water, and in winter with warm water. Make into a batch and work well, at least 15 minutes, and if it becomes light before the time for putting it to rise, work it over just a little without taking it from bucket, or without adding flour. About an hour before baking, turn it out and make it into rolls, as quickly as possible, adding just as little flour as you can get along with, to prevent it from adhering to the hands. Do not work it. Bake until golden brown.

This is a simple basic white bread recipe,a tad sweeter then most because of the addition of sugar but i'm ready for a hot roll or two with some sweet butter.
