  • About

At one time visitors to Penrith were able to buy loaves of appetising rye bread, but of late years they have not been made for sale. They can be made at home from the following recipe:

Ingredients

  • Rye flour 2½ lb.
  • wheat flour 2½ lb.
  • salt

Method

  1. Mix the rye and wheat flour and salt together.
  2. Cream the yeast with the sugar.
  3. Add the water and use it to make the flour into a dough.
  4. Let it stand in front of a fire or heated gas oven for one hour.
  5. Then knead well, and at the end of another half hour knead again.
