| Back to Basics with Savory Breads |
[Jun. 14th, 2006|06:42 am] |
This week's challange is to create a unique savory bread.
It can be yeasty, not to yeast, maybe flat, square, round or whatever. Just no sweet breads.
You have until June 18th to show your stuff!
So what is bread?
- Bread is a staple food which is prepared by baking, steaming, or frying dough.
- Bread consists minimally of flour and water; salt is present in most cases; and usually a leavening agent such as yeast is used.
- Breads may also contain spices (such as caraway seed) and grains (sesame, poppy seeds) which are often used for decorative purposes.
- The amount of water and flour are the most significant measurements in a bread recipe, as they affect texture and crumb the most. Professional bakers use a system of percentages known as Bakers' Percentage in their recipe formulations, and measure ingredients by weight instead of by volume. Measurement by weight is much more accurate and consistent than measurement by volume, especially for the dry ingredients.
Facts:
- Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods, dating back to the Neolithic era
- Bread is a popular food in Western and most other societies except for the Asian societies that typically prefer rice.
- The word "companion" literally means one with whom bread is shared (com with + pani bread).
