APPLE BREAD

At night dissolve the yeast cake in the milk. The milk should be heated to boiling point, then cooled to lukewarm. Sift the flour into an earthenware basin, add the sugar, and rub the butter well into them. Add the milk, the eggs well beaten, and beat with a wooden spoon until the dough is blistered.

Cover and set over night in a warm place. The next day roll the dough in two cakes, each about half an inch thick; spread the lower one with tart apple sauce, then butter the other slightly and lay over it, and let them rise together in a buttered fireproof dish for half an hour.

Bake in a moderate oven till the bread is ready. When taken from the oven spread with more apple sauce; dredge with sugar and return to the oven to glaze.

Serve hot.
