noon
It might be better to throw the setting away and start new , or else to let it stand till noon . Gram knew as soon as she had looked at it . If the omens were favorable , a cup of warm water and a variable quantity of carefully warmed flour were added , and a batter made of about the consistency for fritters . This was set up behind the funnel again , to rise till noon . More flour was then added and the dough carefully worked and set for a third rising . About three o'clock it was put in tins and baked in an even oven . The favorite loaves with us were `` cart-wheels , '' formed by putting the dough in large , round , shallow tin plates , about a foot in diameter .
