Excerpt from San Rafael Cook Book: Compiled by the Ladies of San Rafael
Twice as much flour as wetting is a good rule to follow, to avoid having the bread too stiff. By this rule, beat with a spoon for 20 minutes, and let stand over night. In the morning add as little flour as possible to mold into loaves.
