Recipe for Bishop's Bread


Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 cups flour (unbleached)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup sour milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    Mix the flour, sugar, salt and shortening in a large bowl.
(Set aside 3/4 cup of this mixture to use for the topping.)   
  To the bowl, add the beaten egg, baking powder,
 cinnamon, sour milk  and  baking soda.  Beat with a wooden spoon until the batter is smooth.
 Pour into two
 7 inch square  greased cake pans.   Take the 3/4 cup of crumbs   you set aside and place on top of  the mixture.  You may add some chopped  walnuts and more cinnamon on top if you wish.  Bake in a 375 F degree 
oven for 25-30 minutes. This makes a thin loaf only about 1 inch thick, so  do  not test until near the end of baking time.

Bishops Bread is an old recipe which New England housewives kept on  hand to serve when the parson came to call.

My Bread: The Revolutionary No-Work, No-Knead Method

Lahey’s “breathtaking, miraculous, no-work, no-knead bread” (Vogue) has revolutionized the food world. When he wrote about Jim Lahey’s bread in the New York Times, Mark Bittman’s excitement was palpable: “The loaf is incredible, a fine-bakery quality, European-style boule that is produced more easily than by any other technique I’ve used, and it will blow your mind.” Here, thanks to Jim Lahey, New York’s premier baker, is a way to make bread at home that doesn’t rely on a fancy bread machine or complicated kneading techniques. Witnessing the excitement that Bittman’s initial piece unleashed worldwide among bakers experienced and beginner alike, Jim grew convinced that home cooks were eager for a no-fuss way to make bread, and so now, in this eagerly anticipated collection of recipes, Jim shares his one-of-a-kind method for baking rustic, deep-flavored bread in your own oven.  
The secret to Jim Lahey’s bread is slow-rise fermentation. As Jim shows in My Bread, with step-by-step  instructions followed by step-by-step pictures, the amount of labor you put in amounts to 5 minutes: mix water, flour, yeast, and salt, and then let time work its magic—no kneading necessary. Wait 12 to 18 hours for the bread to rise, developing structure and flavor; then, after another short rise, briefly bake the bread in a covered cast-iron pot. 
The process couldn’t be more simple, or the results more inspiring. My Bread devotes chapters to Jim’s variations on the basic loaf, including an olive loaf, pecorino cheese bread, pancetta rolls, the classic Italian baguette (stirato), and the stunning bread stick studded with tomatoes, olives, or garlic (stecca). He gets even more creative with loaves like Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread, others that use juice instead of water, and his Irish Brown Bread, which calls for Guinness stout. For any leftover loaves, Jim includes what to do with old bread (try bread soup or a chocolate torte) and how to make truly special sandwiches.
