Where are you from originally?
Salt risen (or salt rising) bread was a delicacy staple as I was growing up, in West Virginia.
Where do you live now? I had heard there's a country bakery in Mt. Morris, PA that bakes & sells it...
ahhhhhh, the memories of that salty, sour taste as it was toasted & then putting Co-Coa Wheats on top.... :woohoo:Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee -
Born in the shadow of Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tn. I now reside in upstate of South Carolina, in the hugh shadow of Bente. The salt risen bread was / is mighty taste. I might try to do some, Takes a lot of steps. Best to order a loaf to rekindle the taste buds.

Here's my "simplified" recipe - made to please my West Virginia mother-in-law.
SALT-RISING BREAD
Adapted from Bread Winners, Mel London - 1979
Mix, cover tightly and let stand @ 24 hours:*
1½ cups milk, scalded
¾ cup white waterground cornmeal
1½ tsp honey
Put in mixing bowl & stir to dissolve, then let cool:
4½ cups milk, scalded
1 ½ Tbsp honey
2 ¼ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp baking soda
4 ½ Tbsp butter
When mixture is lukewarm, add 1 cup at a time:
7 ½ - 9 cups flour
Add starter and beat 4 – 5 minutes
Let rise 2 – 3 hours until bubbly and increased in bulk. Will probably take 3 hours.
Add enough flour to make a soft dough
(6–7 ½ cups)
Knead about 10 minutes
Shape into 4 loaves (will fill pan ⅓ full
Cover and let rise @ 1 hour or until doubled
Bake 375° 45 – 50 minutes
* I wrap the pan in towels and set it on a heating pad on “low.”
The term “salt-rising” originated from the bowl with the starter ingredients being placed inside a larger bowl that was lined with salt to keep the starter warm.
