SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR QUICK AND ULTRA FAST PROGRAMS Quick breads are made with baking powder or baking soda that are activated by moisture and heat. To make successful quick breads, it is recommended that all liquids be placed in the bottom of the bread pan with the dry ingredients on the top.
BREAD INGREDIENTS Bread flour Bread flour has a high gluten and protein content and has good elasticity when kneaded with water. As the dough ferments, carbon dioxide is produced and becomes trapped in the dough causing it to rise. During baking the gluten sets around the bubbles giving the bread a light and open texture.
Page 15
Sugar Sugar is necessary to feed the yeast and add a sweet taste to the bread. Add too much sugar to the dough and it will kill the yeast. If experimenting and adding sweet or fruity ingredients to the bread, it may be necessary to reduce the sugar added to achieve a satisfactory loaf.
