A recipe from 1830, transcribed exactly and unlikely to work
The recipe
Transcribed exactly from the household book, including the spelling and the absence of quantities for three of the six ingredients.
Why it will not work
The flour is different, the yeast is different, and a bread oven falling from four hundred degrees is not a domestic oven at one eighty.
A version that does
A modern adaptation with quantities and temperatures, clearly marked as an adaptation rather than as what anybody made in 1830.
