KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS It has been said that cooking is an art that relies on the creativity of the chef. Baking bread is much more of a science, since the process of combining flour, water and yeast results in a chemical reaction that produces bread.
KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS (CONTINUED) Vital Wheat Gluten Gluten is manufactured from wheat flour that has been treated to remove nearly all of the starch, which leaves a very high protein content. (Gluten is the protein in the wheat that makes the dough elastic.) Gluten is available at most health food stores and in the baking aisle in many markets.
Page 24
KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE: The basic bread and dough recipes in this booklet were developed using active dry yeast. You may use the chart below to substitute any quick-acting yeast (quick rise, fast rise or Bread Maker yeast) for the active dry yeast or vice versa. Conversion Chart for Quick Rise Yeast 3/4 tsp active dry yeast = 1/2 tsp quick rise yeast 1 tsp active dry yeast = 3/4 tsp quick rise yeast...
KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS (CONTINUED) Fats Shortening, butter and oil shorten, or tenderize, the texture of yeast breads. French bread gets its unique crust and texture from the lack of fat added. However, breads that call for fat stay fresh longer. If butter is used directly from the refrigerator, it should be cut into small pieces for easier blending during the kneading process.
RECIPE TIPS Creating Your Own Yeast Breads Even the most inexperienced baker can achieve the satisfying experience of baking a loaf of bread. All of the mystery and hard work is gone. Inside this talented Breadman® Ultimate™ is a computer brain which instructs the Bread Maker to mix the dough, knead the dough, allow it to proof (rise) and bake without you being present.
RECIPE TIPS (CONTINUED) High-Altitude Baking In high-altitude areas, over 3,000 feet, dough tends to rise faster as there is less air pressure. Therefore, less yeast is necessary.
