🥘 Ingredients

To every lb. of rice allow 4 lbs. of wheat flour, nearly 3 tablespoonfuls of yeast, 1/4 oz. of salt.

👨‍🍳 Method

Boil the rice in water until it is quite tender; pour off the water, and put the rice, before it is cold, to the flour. Mix these well together with the yeast, salt, and sufficient warm water to make the whole into a smooth dough; let it rise by the side of the fire, then form it into loaves, and bake them from 1-1/2 to 2 hours, according to their size. If the rice is boiled in milk instead of water, it makes very delicious bread or cakes. When boiled in this manner, it may be mixed with the flour without straining the liquid from it.

This one hit different

I tried making Rice Bread this week, partly out of curiosity and partly because I had a craving for something warm and homely. I found the process surprisingly straightforward, despite the vintage instructions. The biggest delight was how the cooked rice melded seamlessly into the dough, creating a texture that was uniquely soft and slightly chewy. I wasn't expecting the final loaf to have such a comforting, almost cake-like quality. It was like a warm hug in bread form. Boiling the rice in milk, as suggested, added an extra layer of richness that made each slice feel like a tiny indulgence. This bread is perfect for anyone seeking comfort in their cooking. It's not a quick fix, but the process is therapeutic, and the result is incredibly rewarding. I baked mine in a small loaf tin and enjoyed it slathered in butter while it was still warm. It's the kind of bread that makes you want to curl up with a good book and a steaming cup of tea. If you're looking to add a touch of old-world charm to your baking repertoire, give this a try. You won't be disappointed.
