German Bread

Ingredients

• 1 pint of milk well boiled
• 1 teacupful of sugar
• 2 tablespoonfuls of nice lard or butter
• 2/3 teacupful of baker's yeast
• flour

Instructions

Make a rising with the milk and yeast; when light, mix in the sugar and shortening, with flour enough to make as soft a dough as can be handled. Flour the paste-board well, roll out about one-half inch thick; put this quantity into two large pans; make about a dozen indentures with the finger on the top; put a small piece of butter in each, and sift over the whole one tablespoonful of sugar mixed with one teaspoonful of cinnamon. Let this stand for a second rising; when perfectly light, bake in a quick oven fifteen or twenty minutes.
