Recipe - Herman Sourdough Bread

1 cup Milk scalded
3 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoon Margarine
1 pack Yeast
One fourth cup Warm water
1 One half cup Herman
2 One half cup Flour white or whole wheat
3 cup White flour

Dissolve yeast in One fourth cup warm water. Mix the milk, sugar, salt and
margarine. Add the dissolved yeast. Add the milk mixture to Herman. Stir.
Add 2 One half cups whole wheat or white flour. Stir in 3 cups more white
flour, enough to make a stiff dough. Turn onto floured board and knead
slowly until dough is smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes by machine, 10
15 minutes by hand. Set dough into greased pan and grease top of dough.
Place in warm place, no drafts, covered with cloth, and let rise until
double in bulk. Punch down, divide into two loaves, knead in hands to
remove air and place in greased bread pans. Let rise again to double in
bulk, covered with cloth. Bake at 375x F. for 25 minutes. Turn onto wire
rack, butter top and let cool. To freeze, slice bread first, then it won't
crumble.
