Bread Made with SOaD ID.

From communication read to the
association of Belgian chemists, it
seems that continental bakers are in
the habit of mixing soap with their
dough to make their bread and pastry
nice and light. The quantity of soap
used varies greatly. In fancy articles,
like wafties and fritters, it is much
larger than in bread. The soap is dis
solved in little water: to this is add
ed some oil. and the mixture, after be-
ing well whipped, is added to the flour.
The crumb of the bread manufactured
by this process is said to be lighter and
more spongy than that made in the or
dinary way.-Scientific American.
