Recipe for mixed -four breads. |
The same rules must be observed as
to mixing, the best temperature for
rising, use of good active yeast, fol-
lowing the bread closely so that It
does not become over light and hence
become sour, and the proper tempera-
ture of oven for baking. Because of
the quality of the glutin in wheat
bread Is more easily made from wheat
flour with the other flours. This can
be done to best advantage by using
all wheat flour In setting the sponge.
Where cereals are used, such as rice,
oatmeal, rolled oats, or corn meal,
the cereal forms a paste of the thick
enlng for the sponge, the scalded
milk or water being poured over 1t
and allowed to stand until luke warm,
then stir in wheat -four to make it
the right consistency. Rolled oats
and rice breads do not require knead-
ing but must be stirred very stiff.
However a better texture may be OBJ
tanned if they are kneared as other
breads.
