A loaf of bread and some bits of dry salt cod were his only food.

"Our loaves of bread are raw dough before they're baked, and they are grains of wheat before they are dough.

Always remember, that the larger the loaves the slower must be the baking, otherwise they will be overdone on the outside and underdone in the middle.

If cloths are used to wrap or cover the bread, they too should be washed and scalded every week, and oftener if at any time the loaf about which they are wrapped becomes moldy or musty.
