Linda & Ron, my campground neighbors, invited me over for coffee & fresh huckleberry pie for breakfast. Amazing is the only way to describe that pie. I also secured a family bread recipe that was hand written in the early part of the last century by Josephine Castellanos. Here it is:
1 cake compressed yeast (about 1.25 packets in today’s terms)
½ cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 cups lukewarm water
1 egg
7 cups flour
3 T. shortening.
Crumble yeast into large mixing bowl. Add sugar, salt, and water. Add well beaten egg. Sift flour once before measuring. Add half flour & beat well. Add melted shortening and mix in remainder of flour. Let rise to double its bulk. Punch down. Cover tightly & place in Frigidaire. About 1 hour before baking, remove desired amount of dough. Shape into rolls & place on greased pan. Use gem pans for clover leaf rolls. Let rise slowly to double their bulk, then bake in hot oven (425) for 20 – 25 minutes. This dough can be kept in Frigidaire and used from as desired. Shapes may be prepared in the morning and placed back in Frigidaire to be ready for quick baking. Allow just enough time for the dough to rise & the rolls to bake so that they will come from the oven piping hot.
