Salt rising bread is a bread made from a potato/cornmeal starter which
produces the only leavening in the recipe. This is a fickle bread
because sometimes the mixture doesnt "take ". It is called salt  rising
not because of salt content but because the bowl containing  the
starter was packed or surrounded by salt to keep the bread warm!  The
recipe is a challenge because of this. Technically it is not a  hard
bread to make. If your starter doesnt bubble, foam , smell  yeasty or
unpleasant ( like ripened cheese ) then DONT BOTHER TO  CONTNUE WITH
THE RECIPE.  If you consult old cookbooks you will find a variety of
salt rising  recipes. This recipe was passed on by a person who has
made delicious  successful bread. Ive had great results with this
recipe. Please  remember one thing: salt rising breads demand constant
warmth.So make  sure even utensils are warm. The finished bread is most
delicious  with a texture similar to yeast risen breads. Salt rising
breads tend  to be heavier and denser than most yeast risen white
breads. The  bread is excellent toasted. Now see the separate recipe
and tips.  Joan From: LIR119@delphi.com From: Bread-Bakers Archives:
