In a recipe, the baker's percentage for water is referred to as the "hydration"; it is indicative of the stickiness of the dough and the "crumb" of the bread. Lower hydration rates (e.g., 50–57%) are typical for bagels and pretzels , and medium hydration levels (58–65%) are typical for breads and rolls . [ 25 ]
Some recipes may specify butter amounts called a pat (1 - 1.5 tsp) [26] or a knob (2 tbsp). [27] Cookbooks in Canada use the same system, although pints and gallons would be taken as their Imperial quantities unless specified otherwise. Following the adoption of the metric system, recipes in Canada are frequently published with metric conversions.
When the butter has been churned to satisfaction, place a bowl in the middle of the table with a strainer sitting in it, lined with a clean dish towel or piece of muslin.
Serve the freshly churned butter right away with some crusty bread -- homemade would obviously be a joy -- and some salt, for those who prefer salty butter. Homemade butter will keep in the fridge for a week or so. It’s good for cooking but not for frying, since the slightly higher water content may make it spit and burn in a frying pan.
Garlic bread (also called garlic toast) [1] consists of bread (usually a baguette, sourdough, or bread such as ciabatta), topped with garlic and occasionally olive oil or butter and may include additional herbs, such as oregano or chives. [2]
Roux (/ r uː /) is a mixture of flour and fat cooked together and used to thicken sauces. [1] Roux is typically made from equal parts of flour and fat by weight. [2] The flour is added to the melted fat or oil on the stove top, blended until smooth, and cooked to the desired level of brownness. A roux can be white, blond (darker), or brown.
Garlic powder must be stored in a cool, dry place, to avoid clumping of the powder. If powder is exposed to moisture or heat, it could cause the product to harden or clump. [ 22 ] Fresh garlic remains ripe for up to half a year as a whole bulb, and up to a month if it is an unpeeled clove, while dehydrated garlic can last for years.
