Excerpt from San Rafael Cook Book, 1906 In cold weather more yeast is required. Bread is better when raised slowly. Bread should never fall, but be mixed before reaching this stage. Before putting into the oven, cut across the top 3 times; for a rich brown crust nothing equals melted butter, for brushing. The oven must be hot when the bread is put in, and after it is well browned a more moderate oven will do. Bake bread from 1% to 1 hour, according to size of loaf, and always in separate pans.
