Bread rntking made easy
If you enjoy the aroma of
bread baking in the oven, it's
well worth the effort to make
it say food consultants at
Agriculture Canada. It's
really not all that difficult to
do.
The main ingredients in
yeast breads are simple - just
flour, liquid, yeast, salt,
sugar and fat. The sugar and
fat ensure an acceptable
flavor and texture. The actual
making of the bread involves
four steps - mixing, kneading,
fermentation and baking.
After mixing, bread dough is
kneaded until it is smooth and
elastic to develop "gluten".
This is the framework that
holds in the gas produced by
the, yeast during fer-
mentation. The dough is
allowed to sit in a warm place
to rise until double in bulk.
•This is the longest part of the
procedure usually requiring
about 11/2 hours.
Food consultants at
Agriculture Canada
recommend that you try this
Oatmeal Bread recipe, just to
see how easy it is to prepare.
The Honey Oatmeal bread is
delicious too.
Oatmeal Bread
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 package active dry yeast
2 cups hot milk
1/2 cup molasses
I tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
2 cups rolled oats
5 to 51/2 cups all-purpose flour
Dissolve sugar in water and
sprinkle yeast over top. Let
stand 10 minutes. Combine
next four ingredients and stir
until shortening melts. Cool to
lukewarm and stir in yeast
mixture and oats. Gradually
beat in three cups flour. Work
in enough remaining flow -to
make soft dough. Turn onto
floured board and knead until
smooth and elastic (8 to 10
minutes). Shape in ball and
place in greased bowl, tur-
ning to grease top.
Cover and let stand in
warm place until double in
bulk (about 11/2 hours). Punch
down, divide in half, cover
and let rest 10 minutes. Shape
into two loaves and place in
greased 9 x 5 - inch loaf pans.
Brush with melted fat. Cover
and let rise in warm place
until double in bulk (about 11/2
Buying plants in winter need care
Impulse buying sells many
houseplants during the winter
months, but this impulse'may
kill them, says R.A. Fleming,
Ontario ministry of
agriculture and food hor-
ticulturist.
Mr. Fleming says rapid
changes in temperature,
freezing, a long wait at the
supermarket, or even the trip
from the store to the car may
*chill or kill many types of
tender houseplants.
When buying a'plant in the,
winter, Mr. Fleming says it is
wise to choose the weather as
carefully as you choose the
plant.
A mild day with little wind,
sunny, if possible, is the best.
Plants should be thoroughly
wrapped before leaving the
syrore and should be moved to
t'e car very quickly. The car
should be heated, and parked
as close to the store as
possible.
When the plant is taken
indoors, unwrap it carefully
and allow it fo acclimatize in
a cool, dimly lit room for a
few hours.
"Then choose its location
carefully, away from drafts;'
heat registers, and frosty
windows."
If you are on a lengthy
shopping trip Mr. Fleming
suggests you purchase the
plant last or select a shop that
will deliver it.
hours). Bake 30 to 35 minutes
at 375 degrees F. Make two
loaves.
' Honey Oatmeal Bread:
Make as Oatmeal Bread, but
use 1/2 cup liquid honey in ,
place of 1/2 cup molasses.
Unbaked bread dough may
be frozen. Complete the
recipe method to the end of
kneading, but use two
packages active dry yeast
and two teaspoons sugar to
activate the yeast. Cover the
dough and let it rest 20
minutes, then shape it into
loaves or rolls. Place these on
greased baking sheets and
brush with melted fat.
Cover and freeze until firm
(about 1 hour), then transfer
to freezer bags and return to
freezer. Frozen bread dough
keeps well for a month in the
freezer.
To hake, remove dough
from freezer, grease tops and
place in greased pans. Cover
and allow" to thaw in
refrigerator (about 16 hours).
Remove from refrigerator,
leave uncovered and allow
the dough to rise in a warm
place until it has doubled in
bulk (about 1 hour). Bake as
you would for fresh.
Bread may also be frozen
after baking. Package cooled
loaves in freezer bags or
aluminum foil for freezing.
Frozen baked bread keeps for
two months in the freezer.
Refrigerating bread is not
recommended as it en-
courages the bread to go
stale. However, refrigeration
of bread during hot, humid
weather is acceptable as it
will prevent mold growth.
If you store bread at room
temperature in an airtight
container, it will keep well for
4 to 5 days.
Cyclamen, a Christmas plant
A popular Christmas plant
suitable for cool, sunny house
and office locations is the
colorful cyclamen, says John
Hughes, Ontario ministry of
agriculture and food hor-
ticu lturist.
Cyclamen available locally
are usually grown from seed

t competition to be held
The International' Plowing
Match comes to Huron next
year and with it comes an
opportunity, for people who
are able to do quilting to
make some extra money.
Three prizes totalling $225
are being offered for the three
top quilts.
The quilt competition is
being sponsored by the ladies'
committee of the match and it
is concerned that everybody
across the county, who is
interested, learns details of
the event.
't In order to be entered, the
quilt is to be an original quilt

of the 1978 • International
Plqwing Match and have a

..minimum size 66 x 78 inches.
The entries will be judged
on originality of design and
quality of quilting.
The competition is open to
all residents and groups in
Huron County.
There is no entry fee but
only tickets are to be obtained
from Mrs. Dorothy Coultes,
R.R. 5, Brussels before
September 1, 1978.
The quilts will be judged at
Seaforth Fall Fair and entires
must be delivered to the Fair

third $50.
growers. It takes from 10 to 18
months to produce a finished
plant.
Because cyclamen is such a
long-term crop, its cost is
often a little higher than some
of the other popular Christ-
mas plants, such as the
poinsettia.
Mr. Hughes says cyclamen
are grown at 10 degrees
Celsius night temperatures,
and 16 degrees Celsius day
ternperatures. This helps to.
produce firm foliage and the
characteristic ball -shaped
top growth.
When buying cyclamen,
Mr. Hughes suggests
checking under the canopy of
foliage. Ideally, there should
be a multitude of developing
flower buds.
Cyclamen, like most
Christmas plants, ' prefer
cooler temperatures and high
humidity. This plant will
enjoy a bright location in a
south-, west-, or east -facing
window with temperatures of
12 to 15 degrees Celsius, away
from hot air registers,
radiators and hot, bright
lights. With proper attention,
cyclamen will flower from
four to eight weeks.

New fall look for navy beans
Baked beans have always
been a traditional favorite on
cool fall evenings, however,
they may soon have com-
petitors from other bean
dishes say food consultants at
Agriculture Canada.
Navy beans, also called pea
beans or white beans are
small, white and oval and
they hold their . shape even
when cooked tender. When
buying, look for clear, glossy
skin, uniform size (to ensure
uniform cooking) with n
visible defects.
To guarantee tende ,
flavorful beans always soak
them before cooking. First,
rinse the beans, then add 21/2
to 3 cups of water for each
cupful and soak them for,
twelve hours. If you are short
of time, bring the beans
slowly to a boil and simmer
gently for two minutes then
remove from heat and let
stand for one hour. Dry beans
should be cooked slowly over
low heat. They increase
considerably in volume
during cooking : one cup of
dry navy beans will swell to
21/2 cups cooked.
Not only do navy beans
offer you- their great flavor,
they also contribute to your
daily nutritional needs. One

cup' of cooked beans is
equivalent to one serving of
meat according to Canada's
Food Guide. This serving
supplies approximately one-
quarter of an adult's daily
protein requirement and half
the daily iron requirement of
a mature male. Protein in the
beans can be complemented
with cereals or small
amounts of animal protein
such, as fresh or cured meat,
cheese or milk.
