High-altitude cooking is cooking done at altitudes that are considerably higher than sea level. At elevated altitudes, any cooking that involves boiling or steaming generally requires compensation for lower temperatures because the boiling point of water is lower at higher altitudes due to the decreased atmospheric pressure .
The Chorleywood bread process (CBP) is a method of efficient dough production to make yeasted bread quickly, producing a soft, fluffy loaf. Compared to traditional bread-making processes, CBP uses more yeast, added fats, chemicals, and high-speed mixing to allow the dough to be made with lower-protein wheat, and produces bread in a shorter time.
When the yeast cells die, they release high quantities of a protease which snip protein strands, and in large die-offs result in soft, sticky dough, less baked volume, and a coarse crumb, [2] but in smaller die offs, increase dough extensibility and baked volume. [10] Different bread varieties will have different process requirements.
The Old English word for bread was hlaf (hlaifs in Gothic: modern English loaf) which appears to be the oldest Teutonic name. [1] Old High German hleib [2] and modern German Laib derive from this Proto-Germanic word, which was borrowed into some Slavic (Czech: chléb, Polish: bochen chleba, Russian: khleb) and Finnic (Finnish: leipä, Estonian: leib) languages as well.
Due to the length of time sourdough bread takes to proof, many bakers may refrigerate their loaves prior to baking. This process is known as 'retardation' to slow down the proofing process. This process has the added benefit of developing a richer flavoured bread. [citation needed] Homemade sourdough bakers commonly use cast iron dutch ovens ...
Sandwich bread (also referred to as pan bread, loaf bread, or sandwich loaf) [1] is bread that is prepared specifically to be used for the preparation of sandwiches. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Sandwich breads are produced in many varieties, such as white , whole wheat , sourdough , rye , multigrain [ 1 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] and others.
In medieval Europe, a mixed rye and wheat bread known as "maslin" (or variants of the name) was the bread of the better-off peasants for hundreds of years, [16] in contrast to the white manchet bread eaten by the rich, and the horsebread eaten by the poorer peasants, which was made of cheaper grains including oats, barley and pulses.
Damper is a thick home-made bread traditionally prepared by early European settlers in Australia. [citation needed] It is a bread made from wheat-based dough.[citation needed] Flour, salt and water, [1] [2] with some butter if available, [citation needed] is kneaded and baked in the coals of a campfire, [2] either directly or within a camp oven.
