Supply House.or a local bakery.

until well mixed
	Stir again in few minutes until thickened.
	Cover and place in warm place (100 to 105 degrees F. for 12
to 24 hours.
NOTE:  A BETTER TASTING LOAF CAN BE MADE BY LETTING IT FERMENT
FOR 38 TO 48 HOURS INSTEAD OF 12 TO 24 HOURS.

4 Cups Bread Flour
2 Cups hot water
Procedure:
   Add flour and hot water  to starter and ferment for 2 to 4 hours or
longer in a warm place.  It's O.K. to let set overnight if you want a
stronger cheesy flavor.

1 Cup warm water
8 Cups Bread Flour
6 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons salt
1/2 Cup shortening
2 Tablespoons dry milk
2 Tablespoons Active Dry Yeast Yeast
Procedure:
Add  the dry milk,  yeast,  warm water,  flour, salt , sugar  and
shorening.  Mix until gluten is properly developed.

Divide dough into individual size loaves and proof 2 to 4 hours in a
warm place.
Bake at 350-400 degrees F. until golden brown and bottom sounds
hollow when thumped.  Note:  Loaf may not double in size during
proof.  This type of bread does not reach full volume and the
interior is close grained.  The bread has a very strong cheesy flavor
and the odor can be smelled throughout the house.
