In Bread: 70 brilliant sandwich recipes

Product Information

For some side reading, I highly recommend our piece on baker’s math for a deeper dive into how we calculate and describe bread doughs.

Changes in dietary fibre, phenolic acids and activity of endogenous enzymes during rye bread-making". Some flours (for example, spelt, emmer and einkorn) contain fewer FODMAPs, but the difference between grain types is relatively small (between 1 and 2 percent by weight). L-cysteine: a natural amino acid, L-cysteine is, according to some literature, sourced from human hair, feathers, or petroleum by-products. Since these foods lack gluten, dough made from them may not hold its shape as the loaves rise, and their crumb may be dense with little aeration. Looking for a chewy loaf with a higher rise (Note: for these attributes, butter is best added in small quantities.

Whole grain bread is a good source of dietary fiber and all breads are a common source of protein in the diet, though not a rich one.

Some of these chemicals, used as optional whiteners, dough conditioners and rising agents, may be harmful to human health. The proportion of water to flour is the most important measurement in a bread recipe, as it affects texture and crumb the most. Water enables fermentation, hydrates starches and proteins, and positively impacts texture, flavor, crumb, and keeping qualities. As a result, the final enzyme product is free of any GM material, minimising the risk to human health and the environment nevertheless you might feel that you want to know if this is in your flour as a baker, as GM may be something that does not sit in your values.Both of these factors can make for a stickier dough that’s harder to work with, but this ultimately matters more as the amount of fat used increases.

Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471): often derived from plant oils or animal fats, E471 may have some negative health effects, including an increased risk of heart disease and weight gain. Gluten-free breads are made using flours from a variety of ingredients such as almonds, rice, sorghum, corn, legumes such as beans, and tubers such as cassava. It’s rare to see a bread enriched with just a fat like butter or oil (and no other enrichments), but one commonly known example is focaccia. We believe that, if done the artisan way, 100% authentic Sourdough bread can not only be good for the soul but for the body as well. To ensure it incorporates fully, butter should be added to dough slowly, each small amount mixed in entirely before moving onto the next piece.Fermentation is the leavening process that happens in bread making when your yeast converts sugars into carbon dioxide, alcohol, and other organic acids. Though it may not taste exactly the same, you should be able to substitute unsalted vegan butter for regular unsalted butter, as its chemical makeup is relatively similar (it’s solid at room temperature, ideal for mixing into dough; compared to oil, which is liquid at room temperature). In Bread is a smart and simple cookbook that celebrates classic and much-loved sandwich recipes from around the world, as well as home-grown favourites – and includes bagels, baguettes, wraps, flatbreads and toasties.
