A very dark, dense wholegrain pumpernickel. The philologist Johann Christoph Adelung (1732–1806) states that the word has an origin in the Germanic vernacular, where pumpern was a New High German synonym for being flatulent, and Nickel was a form of the name Nicholas, commonly associated with a goblin or devil (e.g. Old Nick, a familiar name for Satan), or more generally for a malevolent ...
Gas leaks can damage or kill plants. [4] [5] In addition to leaks from natural gas pipes, methane and other gases migrating from landfill garbage disposal sites can also cause chlorosis and necrosis in grass, weeds, or trees. [6] In some cases, leaking gas may migrate as far as 100 feet (30 m) from the source of the leak to an affected tree. [7]
An overproofed bread may even collapse in the oven as the volume of gas produced by the yeast can no longer be contained by the gluten structure. Retarding may occur at any time during fermentation and is accomplished by placing the dough into a dough retarder, refrigerator, or other cold environment to slow the activity of the yeast.
Natural gas leaks happen nearly every day in the U.S. — and they can be deadly if they go undetected. A report from a group of Texas environmental nonprofits released in June found around 2,600 ...
Cocoa powder, molasses and dark brown sugar lend the classic deep brown color to this pumpernickel bread. Load the slices with toppings or enjoy them topped with just a little bit of fresh butter ...
The gas produced is often carbon dioxide, or occasionally hydrogen. [1] When a dough or batter is mixed, the starch in the flour and the water in the dough form a matrix [2] (often supported further by proteins like gluten or polysaccharides, such as pentosans or xanthan gum). The starch then gelatinizes and sets, leaving gas bubbles that remain.
Making bread in the summertime is a real joy. The warm, humid temperatures help dough rise beautifully. But in winter, it can be a real bear to get the lift you need in a cooler home.
A gas explosion is the ignition of a mixture of air and flammable gas, typically from a gas leak. [1] In household accidents, the principal explosive gases are those used for heating or cooking purposes such as natural gas , methane , propane , butane .
