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 by . Qntario greenhouse 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 design depicting some aspect of the 1978 • International Plqwing Match and have a •N\v\.y\'4tP. ..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 by noon, September 14 for judging. Prize money is divided, first $100, second $75 and 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.

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.
