Bread Making Tip

Gluten

Gluten is a protein found in flour that when mixed with water becomes elastic. When dough is kneaded, the gluten creates holes in the dough that traps gases. The result is bread that rises and texture is developed.

Bread Making Tip

Yeast

Active dry yeast is ideal for breads that gain flavor and texture from slower rising. Quick-rise yeast, acts in half the time as active dry yeast.
