SALT-RISING BREAD, OR PIONEER BREAD RECIPE - (4.1/5)
Provided by Pattywak
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- The night before you wish to do your baking: Put cornmeal in a pint jar. Add a pinches of salt and soda. Add sugar. Add enough hot water to fill the jar. Stir well. Cover with a lid and let stand overnight in a warm place. The next morning, combine of milk, cornmeal mixture, 1/2 teaspoon salt and flour. Stir well to make a stiff batter. Cover and place the entire bowl in a container of warm water and set in a warm place. You will likely have to drain some of the water off and replace with warmer water on a continuing basis. Try to hold the temperature as constant as possible. It will take 3 to 4 hours to rise. If it is very slow in rising, you can stir it again, then place the bowl back in the warm water. When the dough rises, combine 1 teaspoon salt, shortening and flour enough to make a stiff dough. Knead 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 3 loaves. Grease the sides of the loaf pans well with butter, then place the loaves in pans and let rise until they are doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Bake 30 to 40 minutes. When the bread has finished baking, grease the crust heavily with butter as soon as you remove from the oven.
SALT RISING BREAD
You'll love this delicious and unique bread that is native to the Appalachian Mountains area and dates back to the mid to late 1700s. Choose between a potato or cornmeal starter to make your bread and keep history alive with this recipe.

Steps:
- Add enough sliced potato to a quart-sized jar to fill the jar halfway.
- To the jar, add the remaining potato starter ingredients and then pour the boiling water into the jar to fully cover the potatoes.
- Cover the jar with plastic wrap and put a slit in the plastic wrap at the top.
- Place the jar in a warm area that can maintain a temperature between 105-110 degrees Fahrenheit. An electric oven with the light on can work well.
- Allow the starter to ferment. This will take between 8-12 hours. It will become bubbly and foamy. (See recipe video.)
- Put all the dry cornmeal starter ingredients into a quart-sized jar and then pour in the scalded milk. Stir well.
- Cover the jar with plastic wrap and put a slit in the plastic wrap at the top.
- Place the jar in a warm area that can maintain a temperature between 105-110 degrees Fahrenheit. An electric oven with the light on can work well.
- Allow the starter to ferment. This will take between 8-12 hours. It will become bubbly and foamy. (See recipe video.)
- To make the sponge, pour the starter of your choice into a large bowl and add 1 cup of water. Stir well.
- To this bowl, add enough all-purpose flour to make a loose batter that's similar to a pancake batter.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a dish towel and return to a warm place between 105-110 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Allow the sponge to ferment for approximately 2-3 hours. It should be bubbly and foamy in appearance. Do not allow it to over ferment and go flat, losing the bubbly and foamy appearance.
- Grease two bread loaf pans with butter and set aside.
- To make the Salt Rising Bread, add enough all-purpose flour to the sponge to create a wet shaggy dough.
- Pour this dough out onto a well-floured board and begin to knead lightly, incorporating the flour until the dough is no longer sticky. This should take no more than a minute to do. Do not over knead the bread.
- Use a knife of bench scrape to cut the dough in half. Shape each half into an oblong loaf. One at a time, place one loaf into a prepared loaf pan.
- Return the loaves to the warm place between 105-110 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the loaves to rise in their loaf pans until they reach the rim of the loaf pan. This can take between 1-3 hours.
- Once risen, remove the loaves from the warm place (if they are in the electric oven) but keep the loaf pans warm by covering them with a dish towel.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. When the oven reaches the proper temperature, place the loaf pans on the middle rack of the oven.
- Bread should bake for approximately 30 minutes. Once the tops are golden brown, the bread is ready.
- Remove the loaf pans from the oven using oven mitts or pot holders and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Allow the loaf pans to cool enough so that they can be handled comfortably. Remove each loaf of Salt Rising Bread from their respective loaf pans and place the bread onto a cooling rack.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
SALT RISING BREAD
THIS IS NOT AN EASY BREAD TO MAKE! It is tricky, but worth the effort for one who loves that very different, pungent smell of salt-rising bread. The cornmeal used for the starter must contain the inner germ of the corn and a constant warm temperature must be maintained.

Steps:
- To Make Starter: Heat the milk, and stir in 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the cornmeal and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Place this in a jar in an electric skillet or crock pot with hot water in it. Maintain the temperature around 105 to 115 degrees F (40 to 47 degrees C) for 7-12 hours or until it shows fermentation. You can hear the gas escaping when it has fermented sufficiently. The bubble foam, which forms over the starter, can take as long as 24 hours. Do not go on with the bread-making until the starter responds. As the starter ferments, the unusual salt-rising smell appears.
- When the starter is bubbly, it is time to make the sponge. Place the starter mixture in a medium-size bowl. Stir in 2 cups of the warm water, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the shortening and 2 cups of the all-purpose flour. Beat the sponge thoroughly. Put bowl back in the water to maintain an even 105 to 115 degrees F (40 to 47 degrees C) temperature. Cover, and let rise until light and full of bubbles. This will take 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Dissolve the baking soda in 1 tablespoon of the warm water and combine it with the sponge. Stir 5 1/4 cups of the flour into the sponge; knead in more flour as necessary. Knead the dough for 10 minutes or until smooth and manageable. Cut dough into 3 parts. Shape dough and place it in three greased 9x5x3 inch pans. Place covered pans in warm water or uncovered pans in a warm oven with a bowl of hot water, maintaining a temperature of 85 degrees F (30 degrees C). It will take approximately 5 hours for the bread to rise 2 1/2 times the original size. The bread will round to the top of the pans.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake bread at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until light golden brown. YOU CAN DRY SALT RISING CULTURE!!! Save 1/4 cup of a successful sponge and pour it into a saucer, cover with cheesecloth and allow to dry. Store dried flakes in plastic in a cool, dry place or freeze until needed for salt rising bread. When ready to make the bread; dissolve the flakes in the new warm starter and continue with recipe. This will give a flavor boost to your bread.

A special thank you to Susan Ray Brown, and her Salt Rising Bread Project! After several e-mails back and forth, and her encouragement, and several blunders on my part, (which Susan helped to correct), I have found the perfect recipe for "true" S.R.B! It takes time and patience, but well worth it! Take time to check out Susan's Website! It is full of excellent information! Help to keep this tradition alive! Susan R. Brown, Salt Rising Bread, The Project. Plus, if you have never eaten this bread, you are in for a very special treat!

Steps:
- Pour milk onto dry ingredients and stir.
- Keep warm overnight until foamy. I place it in a yogurt maker which will maintain a constant temperature. You must get the foamy and smelly "rotten cheese" smell or it will not work! This is called a "raisin".
- After "raisin" has foamed and has the smell, in a medium sized bowl, add 2 cups of warm water to the mixture. Then add enough flour, (about 1 1/2 cups) to make a thin pancake like batter. Stir and let rise again until it becomes foamy. This will usually take from 2 to 3 hours.
- Next, add one cup of warm water for each loaf of bread that you want to make. ( e.g., 3 cups of warm water will make 3 loaves of bread). To this add about 10 cups of flour.
- Knead well, about 8 to 10 minutes. Then form into loaves and put into well greased loaf pans. Grease tops of loaves. Let rise again, until double, in a warm place. ( I place mine in the oven with the oven light on.) This will take from 2 to 6 hours.
- Bake at 300 deg. for 30 to 45 minutes, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let cool. Tastes excellent toasted. Freezes Well! Enjoy!
- NOTE: You can make up to 6 loaves with this Starter. I chose to make 3.

SALT-RISING BREAD
Received from Ruth Reichl's Gourmet Weekly. This was part of her Diary of a Foodie show: Diary of a Foodie: Season One: Noble Rot If you are in the mood for a trip back in time-to the days before supermarket yeast made breadmaking easy-rather than in the market for something tried-and-true to plan a party around, this curiosity is for you. The recipe is a bit of a science experiment, and it's hit or miss in three ways. First, the starter has a strong smell that may be a turnoff. Second, the bread did not rise for us every time, and we don't know why. (It may be that wild yeasts are not abundant enough in modern kitchens; also, if you don't have an oven with a pilot light, it's hard to maintain the proper temperature for the rising.) Finally, the end result drew mixed reviews in our test kitchens. We liked this bread best when it was toasted. This one takes awhile.

Steps:
- Make starter:.
- Peel potatoes and thinly slice. Put potatoes in a large bowl, then pour boiling-hot water over them. Stir in cornmeal, sugar, and salt until sugar and salt are dissolved. Set bowl into a larger bowl of hot tap water (about 130ºF) and let starter stand in a warm draft-free place (such as the inside of a turned-off gas oven), replacing hot water in larger bowl every 8 hours, for 24 hours. (Starter will be covered with a light, airy foam and have a pungent cheesy aroma.) Discard potatoes.
- Make sponge:.
- Add warm milk, baking soda, and flour to starter, whisking briskly until mixture is smooth. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set into a larger bowl of hot tap water (about 130ºF). Let sponge rise in a warm draft-free place (such as the inside of a turned-off gas oven) until doubled in bulk, about 3 hours. (Sponge will be covered in a thick layer of cappuccino-like foam.).
- Make bread:.
- Whisk together 4 cups flour and salt in a bowl. Blend in shortening with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) lumps.
- Add mixture to sponge and beat with a wooden spoon until combined well. Stir in enough of remaining flour to form a soft dough (it will be sticky).
- Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead, adding more flour as needed to keep from sticking, 2 minutes. Let dough stand 10 minutes, then knead on well-floured surface, flouring your hands as needed, until smoother (it will not feel as elastic as a traditional yeast dough), about 10 minutes more.
- Divide dough into thirds and place each portion into a buttered loaf pan. Cover loaves loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until increased in bulk by one third (it will reach almost to rim of pan), about 3 hours.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F
- Bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Turn loaves out onto a rack and cool completely.

SALT-RISE BREAD (AUTHENTIC PRAIRIE RECIPE)
This is a very old recipe made often on the prairie by the pioneers who could not buy yeast at a store, so they had to make their own. It is a very easy recipe, but it does take a little extra time for the rising. So if you are in a hurry, this is not the recipe for you. It has a taste like sourdough and is a favorite in my family. Perfect for sandwiches!

Steps:
- Combine potatoes, cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Pour boiling water on top. Cover with a dish towel; let sit for 24 hours in a warm place.
- Remove potatoes from the yeast water, and add milk, 1 cup water, butter, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and baking soda to the bowl. Add 1 cup flour at a time, stirring constantly, until dough begins to come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface; cut into 3 equal pieces. Knead each piece until soft and elastic. Place dough in 3 well-buttered bread pans and turn to coat. Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 24 hours.
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 45 minutes.

- To make Starter 1: Heat the milk until it's nearly but not quite boiling; small bubbles will form around the edge of the pan (or microwave container), and you might see a bit of steam.
- Cool the milk until it's lukewarm, then whisk together the milk, cornmeal, and sugar in a small heatproof container. The container should be large enough to let the starter expand a bit.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap, and place it somewhere warm, between 90°F and 100°F. We find our turned-off electric oven, with the light turned on for about 2 hours ahead of time, holds a temperature of 95°F to 97°F, perfect for this starter.
- Let the starter rest in its warm place overnight, or for 8 to 12 hours. It won't expand much, but will develop a bubbly foam on its surface. It'll also smell a bit fermented.
- To make Starter 2: Combine the hot water (120°F to 130°F) with the salt, baking soda, and sugar, stirring to combine. Add the flour, stirring until everything is thoroughly moistened.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place it in the same warm spot Starter 1 was in. Let it rest until very bubbly and doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours.
- Transfer your bubbly starter to a larger bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer (or your bread machine bucket).
- Stir in the soft butter, salt, and flour. Knead until smooth; the dough will be soft, and fairly elastic/stretchy.
