Gluten Bread

From My Best 250 Recipes by Sarah Tyson Rorer, 1907. Section 112 of 124.

Scald a pint of flour; when lukewarm add half a compressed yeast cake dissolved in a quarter of a cupful of cold water; add half a teaspoonful of salt and the whites of two eggs well beaten; stir in slowly two cupfuls of gluten flour; beat thoroughly, and stand aside in a warm place, 75° Fahrenheit, for three hours; then add slowly as much flour as the dough will hold and enable you to stir it easily. Pour the batter in two square greased pans; cover and stand in the same warm place for one hour and a half, and bake in a moderate oven for three-quarters of an hour.
