Notebook transcription
The original handwritten page is heavily faded. The creator confirmed the ingredients and clarified that the last instruction concerns cooking on the stove over low heat and flipping after about ten minutes. The creator clarified that “free” means the bread no longer sticks to the pan and can be flipped. The notebook does not clearly record a second-side cooking duration or yield.
