When I was a kid (in the 50s) we used to buy from the bakery a type of bread called 'salt rising'. Unique and delicious tasting, a bit like sour dough. As an adult I have looked but never have been able to find a recipe for it and never have seen it in a bakery. Anyone ever heard of it or have a recipe?

Wow, thanks Worth. I looked online about 3-4 years ago and found nothing. I should have checked first. But if you do find that 100 year old recipe, I would love it.

Salt Rising Bread.
Make a starter by mixing the folloeing ingredients: 1 cup milk. 1 tablespoon sugar. 7 tablespoons white or water ground cornmeal. 1 teaspoon salt. Scald the milk and stir in the sugar, cornmeal, and salt. Place this in a large covered jar and set in water as hot as the hand can stand. Allow to stand for 6 or 7 hours in a warm place (115 degreesF.) untill it shows fermentation. The gas can be heard to escape when it has sufficiently fermented. To this mixture add: 2 cups lukewarm water. 2 tablespoons of sugar. 2 tablespoons of fat. 2 cups of flour. Beat this sponge thoroughly, put the jar into a water bath at 115 degrees F, to maintain an even temperature, and let rise until this sponge is very light and full of bubbles. To this sponge add 8 1/2 cups of flour, which will give it a stiff dough. Knead for 10 minutes. Cut and mold into loaves. Place in a greased pan and allow to rise two and 1/2 times the original bulk. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes, then lower temperature to 350 degrees F and bake about 25 minutes longer. Now let me say a few things about Ma Maw Province she was mean as a wild cat and only like 5 feet tall. Right after I met her, her husband Pa Paw of many years passed away on the way to get a pace maker installed right there in the car with my mother in law and her there. It was a bad deal and she didn't like anyone and was mean to them. In particular my mother in law. She tried it with me and I cussed her out when she was in her mid 80's. She had went into a room and decided to die. I had to practically flip her out of bed to get her up. She was like the devil. From that time on we were buddies. ![]() Then when she would get in a fight with someone she would go with me and have a drink. Where did you guys go for so long. To the bar shut up and mind your own businesses. ![]() She just wanted to be treated like a human and not coddled over. I guess I sort of took the place of her husband in that way. Soon after Alzheimer'sset in and she finally passed away. Worth Last edited by Worth1; November 11, 2015 at 09:52 AM. |

Worth, not sure what your comments in red mean. Why couldn't you put the sponge in a bath (like a sink of warm water) at around 115?
