Here are four shabby, aged, and well-used cookbook pages of old-fashioned bread recipes. Included on the pages are recipes for Bread Raised Twice, Bread Raised Three Times and Bread in Summer or Winter. There are also two recipes for Salt-Rising Bread and a recipe for Boston Brown Bread.
I scanned the pages from The Dixie Cook-Book. It was published in 1883.
I’ve heard that many people have been baking their own bread while spending more time at home during this pandemic. I splurged and bought myself a large KitchenAid stand mixer a couple months ago and although I have made several homemade pizzas (crusts) and cookies with it, I have yet to try it for basic bread. However, I will be saving these pages of old-fashioned bread recipes for crafts (perhaps to include in a cooking journal) and I will stick to a modern bread recipe, including instant yeast, when I do try to make my own bread.
A few of the new listings added to my Etsy shop over the summer are as follows:
Vintage Inspired Faith Definition Cards
Mini Grunge Numbers/Text Labels Digital Collage Sheet
Shabby Aged Numbers Printable Digital Collage Sheets
ATC Size Printable Encyclopedia Clips ~ Botanical Set #2
Printable Vintage Drawing Book Pages
Images are linked to the listings in my Etsy shop.
It’s great to see you in my Inbox again! Looks like I need to check your Etsy site again, too.
I’m curious about how these would be adapted for a bread machine. I have 1 (not sure of the size, unfortunately) that’s been storage for bags. I’d like to user it but am very uncertain. It used to be used by a family member & she’s not able to tell me much.
Thank you Lois. It’s great to “see” you again too!
I have no idea how these old fashioned recipes would be adapted to a modern bread machine. You’re fortunate to have the machine though. If you’re uncertain how to use it, you can often find the direction booklets online.
Hugs ❤️

Lois:
I would not try to use a recipe like these in your bread machine. I have had one since 1999. It died about 2 years ago and my husband and children bought me a inexpensive one. It lasted a year and a half. If Julie is allowed to share my email address with you I can share some recipes I have from the cookbooks I have for bread machine bread. You can tell me what type of bread you want to make and I will scan the pages for you. These are old cookbooks but they have some really great recipes in them for breads of all kinds. If Julie cant share my email maybe she will let me share some recipes from some of the older books that I have.
Thank you, Jackie, for the advice and your kind offer! ❤️ If anyone reading this is interested in your bread recipes, I can pass along your e-mail to them. I can be contacted at: theolddesignshop(at)gmail.com
Hi Julie, How great to “see” you again! Hope you are keeping safe during these challenging days. We have retrieved our old bread maker from the basement and my husband had assumed the role of chief home baker. I’m going to get him to try one of the salt rising recipes. Love the mini grunge numbers! I can imagine lots of uses for them. Off to check out your shop.
Thank you, Sharon. It’s great to “see” you again too! I have been keeping safe during these challenging times, although I’m longing for the good old days… like 2019… to return! ?
Hooray that you had a bread maker that you were able to retrieve from the basement! I heard some areas were/are having a hard time keeping bread makers in stock. If your hubby is able to convert the measurements of the salt rising recipe (or any of the other old fashioned bread recipes here) to work in your bread maker, please let me know. I would love to share his results on my blog.
I pray that all is well with you and your family. ❤️

Sharon:
Sorry I got your name wrong in my reply to Julie. That was the name I found at the top of the page. I like to make my bread both ways by hand and machine but have had to depend more and more on my bread machine due to a nasty form of arthritis called Osteo Penia which is also called brittle bone disease (I prefer to call it Swiss Cheese Disease because that is what your bones look like with this disease.
Love all the Recipe pages you share
These are fabulous Julie, thankyou so much , they will be lovely to use ! XXX
You’re welcome Andrea. I’m happy to know that you’ll enjoy using them! ❤️
Julie:
I always liked to use fresh yeast when I was making my own bread. It seemed to do much better with that than the dry yeast. You can’t find fresh anymore that I know of so I buy the 2# bag of yeast and put it in my freezer and use it as I make bread.
Thank you for the tip Jackie. I’m glad to hear yeast can be stored in the freezer. That means I can buy the larger packages of yeast at Costco. ?
Thank you so much! Stay safe.
You’re welcome Tuesday. You stay safe also. ❤️
