WAR BREAD
I found this recipe in a book called Foods That Will Win the War and How to Cook Them, from 1918. The book is a guide on how to use alternative grains in a time of rationing. There's also a section on how to save and render fat at home, but I think I'll stick with using butter or shortening myself. The recipe is as it was written. The instructions were vague on certain things and I've improvised a bit.
