I'm thrilled to have the salt rising bread recipe and how to video. I have read others but this one sounds just like the bread my Great Aunt made for us when I was a young child (I'm 73 now just to put it in prospective). Nostalgic memories came flooding back of a warm steamy farm kitchen and the aroma which I remember as wonderful. These memories are probably the most influential contribution to my love of baking. Ironically her recipe was lost when she died and I haven't tasted this bread since. I can recall her voice repeating the same instructions reproduced by your comments. I do remember her cautioning my father who would bring her groceries, "Make sure you get stone ground cornmeal". The other instruction was "the kitchen must be warm and free of drafts". Thank you for not only giving me this lost recipe but all the forgotten memories which came with it.
