Yeast breads are leavened with baker's yeast. They require time and warmth to "rise" and are then "punched down" before baking.

What are some ways too shorten the time of the cooking of yeast bread?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The most reliable method of shortening the time of baking yeast bread would be to shape the bread in several small loaves or buns rather than baking it in a single large loaf. It is also possible to increase the baking temperature, but that runs the risk of scorching the crust, or producing an undesirably hard, dry bread. It is also possible to bake yeast bread in the microwave, but that is tricky and requires quite a bit of skill.

What does citric acid do to yeast bread dough?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hello

It is very complex to explaine, but i can say that citric acid slows co2 generation from yeast.

Why? because citric acid is produced by yeast in CO2 generation, and, if you add it in the dough the yeast can´t go on to complete the process.

Then, here the competiton against Bacterias is more equal than the no citric acid dough, and bacterias are responsable for enzimes generation.

This enzimes are natural dough conditioner and finally, the bread became softer, but you must leave rest the dough more time to increase volume before cooking.

This process is better using sourdough for bread making.

Don´t worry for flavor, and be expected to get more volume in bread, and more "oven spring".

What allows yeast breads to rise as it is the only leavening agent used?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is the action of the yeast that causes breads to rise. Yeast as it grows produces carbon dioxide this is trapped in the bread dough and causes the dough to rise.

Leavening with yeast is a process based on fermentation, biologically changing the chemistry of the dough or batter as the yeast works. Yeast leavening requires proofing, which allows the yeast time to reproduce and consume carbohydrates in the flour.

Do yeast bread contains baking powder?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Neither baking soda nor baking powder is a yeast, but each is a leavening agent. In addition, baking powder contains cornstarch, which those who observe Passover strictly do not consume.

It is correct to say that baking soda and baking powder both are not yeast as yeast is a living fungus. Yeast however is also a leavening agent.

Baking soda is bicarbonate of soda or sodium bicarbonate and it's chemical compound formula is NaHCO3.

Baking powder is a combination of bicarbonate of soda, corn starch, & usually 2 acids depending on the type of baking powder.

Also those who observe Passover do not eat leavened bread, which is bread made without any leavening agent be it baking powder, baking soda, or yeast. Generally unleavened bread for passover is baked with a dough made of flour, water, & salt. (NO LEAVENING AGENT WHATSOEVER)

Why is the temperature of water important when making bread?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The heat effect on bread is that the heat causes the yeast to rise i believe. yeast also eats sugar and such. The yeast doesn't eat the heat, it just causes it to become active and start to move. Also it causes the dough to become bread and to form a crust and a crunchey outer layer!

Why did god not want people to eat yeast bread?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because they didn't have the time to let it rise and they didn't have any yeast either.

A Different Answer;

Jews did (and do) use yeast in bread. Challah is just one example of a Jewish yeast bread.

During the Passover, yeast is not used in bread in commemoration of the Passover. The story is found in the Book of Exodus Chapter 12. Because the Hebrews were preparing to flee from Egypt in haste, baking bread without leavening (yeast, sour dough, or sponge) was symbolic of their quick escape.

Further instructions were given in the Scripture that became ceremonies surrounding the Passover. These included removing all yeast (leavening) from the home in an extensive housecleaning. Yeast became a symbol representing sin that must be thoroughly cleansed from God's people. The symbol persists to the present time in the Jewish practice of using Matzoh during the season of Passover, and in many Christian churches which use unleavened bread for the Lord's Supper.

Does salt in yeast breads control the action of yeast?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not too much. The sugar, however does. If you use to little, the yeast will not activate enough and your dough will not rise; use to much, and your yeast will be over active and your dough will be chewy, flat and too dense.

What is the function of salt in yeast bread?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

is makes it brown

nothing except turns it bubbly and kinda purple

it gives you severely bad craps!! Because of the acid involved.

The sugar (maltose and dextrin to be exact) in the bread makes it brown... not the salt. It does however strengthen the gluten bonds in the dough and regulate the yeast so that the dough does not rise to quickly

What happens when you add too much salt to your yeast bread?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In yeast breads, salt limits the action of yeast by killing it. If you have too much salt, you might kill the yeast too quickly. The bread might also taste salty.

In quick breads (those that rise with baking soda and/or baking powder), salt is used to add flavor, so too much salt will just make the bread taste more salty.
