Default Looking for Salt Rising Bread Recipe

When I was a kid (in the 50s) we used to buy from the bakery a type of bread called 'salt rising'. Unique and delicious tasting, a bit like sour dough. As an adult I have looked but never have been able to find a recipe for it and never have seen it in a bakery. Anyone ever heard of it or have a recipe?

It might take me awhile but somewhere here in the house I have my grand mother in laws old recipe.
More than a hundred years old if I recall correctly.

Wow, thanks Worth. I looked online about 3-4 years ago and found nothing. I should have checked first. But if you do find that 100 year old recipe, I would love it.

No problem.
It would have came out of Clovis New Mexico that is where she was raised her father was the judge there.
Just a stones throw from Roswell flying saucer country.
The way recipes were passed around back then who knows Billy the kid may have had it.

Salt Rising Bread.
Make a starter by mixing the folloeing ingredients:
1 cup milk.
1 tablespoon sugar.
7 tablespoons white or water ground cornmeal.
1 teaspoon salt.

Scald the milk and stir in the sugar, cornmeal, and salt.
Place this in a large covered jar and set in water as hot as the hand can stand.
Allow to stand for 6 or 7 hours in a warm place (115 degreesF.) untill it shows fermentation.
The gas can be heard to escape when it has sufficiently fermented.

To this mixture add:
2 cups lukewarm water.
2 tablespoons of sugar.
2 tablespoons of fat.
2 cups of flour.

Beat this sponge thoroughly, put the jar into a water bath at 115 degrees F, to maintain an even temperature, and let rise until this sponge is very light and full of bubbles. To this sponge add 8 1/2 cups of flour, which will give it a stiff dough.
Knead for 10 minutes.
Cut and mold into loaves.
Place in a greased pan and allow to rise two and 1/2 times the original bulk.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes, then lower temperature to 350 degrees F and bake about 25 minutes longer.


Now let me say a few things about Ma Maw Province she was mean as a wild cat and only like 5 feet tall.
Right after I met her, her husband Pa Paw of many years passed away on the way to get a pace maker installed right there in the car with my mother in law and her there.

It was a bad deal and she didn't like anyone and was mean to them.
In particular my mother in law.
She tried it with me and I cussed her out when she was in her mid 80's.
She had went into a room and decided to die.
I had to practically flip her out of bed to get her up.
She was like the devil.
From that time on we were buddies.
Then when she would get in a fight with someone she would go with me and have a drink.
Where did you guys go for so long.
To the bar shut up and mind your own businesses.
She just wanted to be treated like a human and not coddled over.
I guess I sort of took the place of her husband in that way.
Soon after
Alzheimer'sset in and she finally passed away.

Worth, not sure what your comments in red mean. Why couldn't you put the sponge in a bath (like a sink of warm water) at around 115?
