  1. Yeast Breads

  2. Ingredients in Breads: • Yeast • A. Yeast is a tiny living plant. B. What are the favorable conditions which are necessary for yeast to develop? 1. moisture 2. lukewarm temperature 3. oxygen incorporated by kneading 4. food (sugar and starch)

  3. What are the functions (jobs) of yeast? • 1. leavening agent – Causes rising of dough by • producing carbon dioxide • 2. Causes fermentation D. Types of Yeast 1. dry – granular 2. compressed – cake form

  4. Temperature • 1. High temperatures – kills action • 2. Low temperatures – slows down Degrees F

  5. Flour • A. For best results use bread flour. B. Bread flour has a good gluten content. 1. Gluten is an elastic substance formed when flour is mixed with liquid. • What function does gluten provide? • a. Provides elasticity • b. Stretches without breaking • c. Forms a network of cells

  6. Liquid • A. Milk is scaldedto kill enzymes. • Enzymes make the dough too soft. • Milk adds nutritional value, flavor and • keeping quality. B. Water provides a crisp crust.

  7. Salt • A. Helps fermentation of dough • B. Flavor V. Sugar A. Supplies food for the development of yeast B. Gives bread a brown crust C. Causes the dough to rise faster

  8. VI. Shortening – Keeps bread soft and tender • Eggs • A. Adds color and flavor • B. Adds nutritional value

  9. Preparation Methods: • Kneading • A. Thoroughly mixes flour and liquid • B. Develops gluten • C. Incorporates air into the dough • Baking • A. Oven spring – the final spring or rising of dough • which occurs during the first 10 minutes of baking. B. Long, slow baking gives a thicker crust.
