Before you jump to Salt Rising Bread recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Finding Nutritious Fast Food.

Almost every single article about weight loss and getting healthy explains readers to avoid drive through windows like the plague and to perform all of their own cooking. This is really excellent guidance. Occasionally, though, the last thing you want is to have to make meals from scratch. Sometimes all you desperately want is to go to the drive through and get home quickly. There isn’t any reason that you shouldn’t be allowed to do this and not be suffering from shame about slipping on your diet. This is because most famous fast food restaurants on the market are trying to “healthy up” their choices. Here is how to eat healthy and balanced when you hit the drive through.

Visit a drive through for a place who has made it a practice to offer healthier options to people. Arby’s as an example, is void of burgers. As an alternative it is possible to pick from roast beef sandwiches, salads, wraps and various healthier items. Wendy’s, while no stranger to the hamburger, additionally includes a lot of additional meal choices: large salads, large baked potatoes and other tasty items fill its menu. Most fast food eating places usually do not stoop to the poor lows seen at McDonalds.

Fundamental logic states that the proper way to lose weight and get healthy is to ban fast food from your diet altogether. While this is usually a good idea all you need to do is make a number of good selections and visiting the drive through isn’t anything to worry about–when you do it in moderation. Sometimes the thing you need is to let another person produce your dinner. There isn’t any reason to feel bad about visiting the drive through when you make healthful decisions!

We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to salt rising bread recipe. To cook salt rising bread you need 11 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

The ingredients needed to prepare Salt Rising Bread:
  1. Take 3 large baking potatoes
  2. You need 3 tbsp NOT DEgerminated yellow cornmeal
  3. Get 1 tsp sugar
  4. Take 1 tsp salt
  5. Use 4 cup boiling water
  6. Use 2 cup warm milk
  7. Take 1 cup warm water
  8. Prepare 1/2 tsp baking soda
  9. Provide 2 tsp salt
  10. Provide 2 tbsp vegetable oil OR melted shortening
  11. Prepare 5 lb bag of bread flour
Instructions to make Salt Rising Bread:
  1. Wash and peel potatoes. Slice raw potatoes thinly into a large, non-reactive bowl (I use Tupperware; ceramic also works). Sprinkle with cornmeal, sugar and salt and pour on the boiling water. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and set aside.
  2. Fill a crockpot half full of water, heat that up on high, then turn it down to low. Invert the crockpot lid, set a dinner plate on top of that with a pot holder or 2, place your bowl of starter ingredients on top, and cover the whole thing with a couple of thick bath towels. The trick to a successful starter is keeping it at a constant temperature of 100-105-degrees.
  3. After 12 to 15 hours your starter should be foamy (see photo) and have a strong, sour smell (kind of like stinky feet). If after 12 to 15 hours the starter isn't foamy and stinky, the starter has failed. Do not continue with the recipe. You must have the foam and the smell!
  4. Now in a separate bowl, mix together the warm milk, (even skim is fine), warm water, baking soda, salt and melted shortening or oil.
  5. Drain the potato mixture in a colander saving the starter liquid (discard the potato slices) and mix the starter liquid with the milk & water mixture. Stir in enough flour to make smooth dough.
  6. Knead until smooth and elastic as you would for yeast dough, about 8 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed to prevent stickiness.
  7. Divide the kneaded dough into 6 greased 1 pound small loaf (8 x 4) pans. Dough should fill pan 1/3 full.
  8. Lightly cover the bread pans with a floured tea towel or a sheet of plastic wrap that's been lightly sprayed with Pam. Let the breads rise in a consistent warm place until dough has almost doubled. (About 2 hours).
  9. With a fine-misting spray bottle, spritz the top of the dough with water. Bake in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes or until golden.
  10. Remove to racks to cool. Brush tops of loaves with melted butter.
  11. The characteristic strong odor you smell as the bread is baking will not overly manifest itself in the flavor of the bread. The bread has a nice grain and texture and pleasant taste and is MOST delicious when toasted! It also freezes very well.
  12. UPDATE 7/25/17: FINALLY found a bakery (in Pennsylvania) that sells authentic Salt Rising Bread. Somewhat pricey with shipping (but worth it), BUT they also sell a dried starter that makes it a bit easier to make your own. Also recently got a sous vide gadget and found it much easier to use than the crockpot to maintain the consistent temperature for a successful starter.
  13. UPDATE 5/11/2020: Recently ordered from the PA bakery mentioned in comment 12, and, sadly, it's no longer the authentic salt rising recipe. 😢
