Bake about fifteen minutes.
=Sandwich Biscuit.= Prepare the dough as above, roll to about three-eighths an inch in thickness, and cut into rounds.

Spread one half of these with softened butter, and press the others, unbuttered, upon them; bake fifteen or eighteen minutes.
=Pulled Bread.= (_To serve with simple salads and cheese._) Remove the crust from a fresh loaf of French bread.

Gash the loaf at the ends and pull apart into halves; then cut the halves and pull apart into quarters.

Repeat until the pieces are about the thickness of breadsticks.

Put on a rack in a dripping-pan, and dry out the moisture in a slow oven; then brown delicately.
