Our town is famous for their salt rising bread......true old fashion salt rising is absolutely to die for toasted. Has a short shelf life because their are no preservatives.
What I know is that the bakery had problems at one point getting the kind of yeast needed to get the true flavor and texture. The baker has since tried to create his own yeast......the bread is ok.....but not as good as it was. Good luck and if you get a good recipe that makes a great loaf of bread.....please post!
