Bread. Cookbook: No-knead bread. No-knead bread is a method of bread baking that uses a very long fermentation (rising) time instead of kneading to form the gluten strands that give the bread its texture. It is characterized by a low yeast content and a very wet dough. The method is ancient, but since the development of kneading, it has become ...

Straight dough. Wheat flour, water. Straight dough is a single-mix process of making bread. The dough is made from all fresh ingredients, and they are all placed together and combined in one kneading or mixing session. After mixing, a bulk fermentation [ 1] rest of about 1 hour or longer occurs before division. [ 2]
Bread covered with linen proofing cloth in the background. In cooking, proofing (also called proving) is a step in the preparation of yeast bread and other baked goods in which the dough is allowed to rest and rise a final time before baking. During this rest period, yeast ferments the dough and produces gases, thereby leavening the dough.
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 ...
Sourdough remained the usual form of leavening down into the European Middle Ages [5] until being replaced by barm from the beer brewing process, and after 1871 by purpose-cultured yeast. Bread made from 100% rye flour, popular in northern Europe, is usually leavened with sourdough. Baker's yeast is not useful as a leavening agent for rye bread ...
Most artisan bread formulas contain anywhere from 60 to 75% water. In yeast breads, the higher water percentages result in more CO 2 bubbles and a coarser bread crumb. Dough recipes commonly call for 500 grams (about 1.1 pounds) of flour, which yields a single loaf of bread or two baguettes .
His book The Best Bread Ever won the James Beard Foundation Award for the baking and dessert category in 1998. He pioneered a radical and efficient breadmaking method using a food processor for 45 seconds to avoid the drudgery of preparing bread by kneading it by hand.
