Making bread the pioneer way To make bread, the pioneers mixed flour, milk, fat, sugar, salt, and yeast together in a bowl to form dough. The dough was kneaded, or punched and rolled, on a table. After the dough was kneaded, it was covered and placed in a warm area to rise, or puff up. It was then kneaded again and divided into loaves for baking. The bread was baked in a well-heated oven. The pioneers used a long handled board, called a peel to place the dough into a hot oven.
