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.
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.
Salt
Flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, salt. There is no yeast in a quick bread.
Directly regulated by sugar and salt. Sugar cuases yeast growth, salt slows. Environmental factors such as moisture, heat and acidity also affect yeast growth.
Yes, salt can slow down the growth of yeast in baking, but it does not necessarily kill it. Salt can help control the fermentation process and improve the flavor of the bread.
The salt in bread making improves the flavor of the bread and balances the action of yeast.
Yes. Ciabatta is an Italian white bread made from wheat flour, water, salt, olive oil and yeast, so it is suitable for vegans.
If you mix salt with yeast, the rise of the dough will be slowed down and the salt can kill the yeast.
Salt can slow down the fermentation process by regulating the activity of yeast. It helps control the growth of yeast, leading to a more controlled and balanced fermentation process in bread making.
Yes, baking powder is used in preparation of cakes, but few breads. Baking powder and baking soda are leavens, which cause them to rise. Three to four teaspoons of baking powder is used in making biscuits. But most breads have yeast, in some cases salt, to make them rise.
OK, there are two different kinds of breads quick breads and yeast breads. Yeast breads are leavened, made to rise, by yeast. There are a couple different kinds of yeast fresh, instant dry active and one more I can't remember. Quick breads are leavened by what are called chemical leaveners. Ex. baking powder and baking soda. Biscuits can be leavened by the acid in buttermilk. Then there is steam. A popover is leavened by the steam created when it is put into a very hot oven. Cakes are mainly leavened by baking powder or baking soda. A Genois is leavened by the air incorporated during mixing. The only ingredients in a Genois are eggs, sugar, and flour. Sometimes salt. The eggs and sugar are heated over a water bath and then whipped until they triple in volume. It is the air formed when the eggs are whipped that causes this cake to rise.
Baguette dough is a lean dough.
