The farinograph is a tool used for measuring the shear and viscosity of a mixture of flour and water. The primary units of the farinograph are Brabender Units, an arbitrary unit of measuring the viscosity of a fluid.

[1] It may also include milk, sugar, or other ingredients that contribute to the taste or texture. An egg or milk wash can be used to decorate the outside, as well as coarse sugar.
Shortening is any fat that is a solid at room temperature and is used to make crumbly pastry and other food products. The idea of shortening dates back to at least the 18th century, well before the invention of modern, shelf-stable vegetable shortening. [1] In the earlier centuries, lard was the primary ingredient used to shorten dough. [2]
Tip: Substitute 8-cup glass measure for saucepan. Place cream and milk in 8-cup glass measure. Place cream and milk in 8-cup glass measure. Microwave on medium about 7 min. or until warm.
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]
Pour the tomato mixture over the bread cubes, add the Parmesan, and combine well. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Pour the custard over ...
