Panasonic Bread Bakery SD-BT55P User Manual

3.
Fats:
Following
are
the
major
purposes
of
fats
in
baking.
*
They
tenderize
the
product
and
soften
the
texture.
*
They
add
flavor
and
richness.
*
They
contribute
to
keeping
qualities
by
retaining
moisture.
*
They
give
flakiness
to
puff
pastry.
In
the
included
recipes,
butter
(unsalted
butter)
is
mainly
used,
being
replaced
occasionally
by
vegetable
oil
or
shortening.
Other
fats
such
as
margarine,
may
replace
butter.
Remember
that
these
have
a
different
flavor
and
texture
as
compared
to
butter.
4.
Milk
and
milk
products:
Their
main
purposes
are:
*
They
enhance
flavor.
*
They
increase
the
nutritional
value
of
bread.
Milk
solids
include
protein,
lactose
(milk
sugar),
and
minerals.
Major
differences
between
fresh
liquid
milk
and
dried
milk
are
as
follows:
Fresh liquid milk —
Whole milk................ about 88% water,
4% fat,
8% nonfat solids.
Skim
or
nonfat
milk...has
had
most
or
all
of
its
fat
removed.
Dried milk
Dried
whole
milk.......
is
whole
milk
that
has
been
dried
to
powder.
It
contains
fat
which
can
become
rancid.
Nonfat
dry
milk.........
is
skim
milk
that
has
been
dried
to
powder.
Liquid
milk
and
dried
milk
are
not
interchangeable
because
of
the
difference
in
fat
and
water
content.
Nonfat
dry
milk
is
recommended
because
of
its
convenience
and
cost.
For
storage,
keep
dry
milk
in
the
refrigerator.
5. Salt: Salt has the following functions in bread baking.
*
It
strengthens
gluten
structure
and
makes
the
dough
more
elastic.
* It inhibits yeast growth.
Therefore,
too
much
salt
will
inhibit
fermentation
whereas
too
little
will
result
in
a
weak
gluten
structure.
Both
will
result
in
a
bread
with
low
volume
and
poor
texture.
In
any
case,
use
ordinary
table
salt.
6. Liquids:
Liquid is an important element in bread baking.
A
small
difference
in
the
quantity
may
affect
the
height
and
the
texture
of
bread.
In
the
included
recipes,
62—74%
of
the
flour
weight
equals
the
weight
of
liquids.
The
liquid
content
in
other
ingredients,
such
as
molasses,
eggs,
fruits
and
vegetables
must
be
accounted
for
when
these
are
used as ingredients.
