A Treatise on the Art of Making Good and Wholesome Bread

Mixed Barley Bread

Take four bushels of wheat ground to form one sort of flour, extracting only a very small quantity of the coarser bran.6 Add to it three bushels and a half of barley flour, mix up the flour into a dough in the usual manner, with salt, yeast, and warm water, (See page 97), let it be divided into loaves, and put them into the oven made hotter than it would be for baking wheaten bread. Let them remain in the oven three hours and a half. In Yorkshire, bread made from a mixture of these grains is esteemed more wholesome to those who are used to it, than bread made from wheat alone.
