Mix into a soft dough, then cover and leave in a warm place for 1-1/2 hours to rise, till twice its original size. Turn on to a floured board, place in greased tins, stand again in a warm place for about 20 minutes and bake in a moderately quick oven for 1-2 hours. When cold, cut and butter as for ordinary loaf-thin slices with plenty of butter!
