Converting Recipes
When adapting
quick bread recipes, you will
find it necessary
to reduce the amount of
leavening (baking powder or soda) by about
one-quarter
the normal amount. A bitter
aftertaste
is apparent
if too much leavening
is
used in biscuits or muffins°
Since food rises
higher in the microwave
oven, you will not see
a loss in volume
from the reduction
of soda or
baking powder.
if a recipe contains
buttermilk
or sour cream,
do not change the amount
of soda, since it
serves to counteract
the sour taste and does
not act only as a leavening
agent.
When using a mix where leavening
cannot be
reduced, a!lowthe
dough to stand about 10
minutes
before cooking
in order for some of
the gas to be lost.
Breads and roils should
be reheated
only until
they are warm to the touch.. Overheating
or
overcooklng
makes bread tough and rubbery..
