before you want to bake. Let stand in warm place overnight. Next morning
mix in the butter with warm milk and stir in yeast until until dissolved.
Add honey and when thoroughly mixed, add 2 more cups of flour, and stir in
the wheat germ. Sprinkle sugar, salt, and baking soda over the mixture.
Gentlypress into dough and mix lightly. Allow to stand from 30 to 50
minutes until mixture is bubbly. Add enough flour until the dough cleans
the sides of the bowl. Then place the dough on a lightly floured board and
kead 100 times or until silky mixture is developed. Form into 4 1-lb
