Moisture is generally not good with flour. However, I have developed a great Pizza dough using flour that I have allowed to sit, uncovered in a high humidity environment.

Can you freeze yeast dough that has already risen?

I see no reason why not. I used to regularly freeze small quantities of fresh bakers yeast (which is essentially the same species of yeast).

Does parchment paper make baking time longer?

Yes, parchment paper prevents food from sticking and is especially helpful when baking cookies.

When baking bread what temperature do you bake it?

You should always follow a recipe from a reliable source, if you are trying to bake something and don't know the correct temperature. A standard cookbook for all beginning cooks is: Joy of Cooking. Buy yourself a copy and read the section on "bread."

Different breads need different times and temperatures; it varies if you are making pita bread, French bread, Foccacia bread or wheat bread. Breads that involve active dry yeast need to rise before being cooked. A bread made with all-purpose flour and yeast might take 30 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or perhaps it will take 45 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the recipe.

Go get a recipe and follow it. It's best not to experiment with these things, especially if you are just learning to cook.

What is the difference between self raising flour and wholemeal self raising flour?

I'm assuming you mean whole grain wheat. Whole grain wheat includes the bran, the germ, as well as the "flour" part of the berry. It is much more nutritious.

Self-rising flour is make from white flour, which is wheat that has had the bran and germ removed. This pretty much leaves dead cellulose, which they then add some chemical vitamins to, and call it "enriched". Then they add some baking powder (often-times, with aluminum in it) and call it "self-rising" flour.

Better to add your own non-aluminum baking powder to your flour.

How long do you bake a stuffed chicken and at what temperature?

How do raising agents work on food?

Raising Agent, typically Baking Soda contains CO2 (Carbon DiOxide) in a powderform.

This powder when mixed into the dough will start to react with moisture and acidity in the mix and produce bubbles of CO2.

When heated up whilst baking, this gas expands and your product raises a little or a lot depending on little or much baking soda in the mix.

It hardly give any noticeable taste in finished product.

At most it might leave traces of some NaOH or Na2O.

The traces of residue after its function is finished is not poisionus in these quantities..

Regards.

Millions of people ate off of Melmac dishes during the 40's through the late 70's (they declined in popularity after that); I've found no evidence that any of them ever died as a direct result of using melmac dishes. Furthermore BPA has Not been proven to be dangerous to humans at the level that people are exposed to it. There is some evidence that it may harm some animals that were tested upon, but what might hurt a bunny or a rat won't necessarily hurt a human and they've yet to prove it will beyond a shadow of Much doubt.

How do you make gold colored icing?

Gold-Colored IcingCake decorating specialist stores sell products that make icing appear metallic if that is what you mean. For mixing the color gold, they can also provide paste, liquid and powder colors in many color shades.

If you have the cake decorators icing colorings one may come close to it by mixing: 1 part Christmas Red, 3 parts Sunset Orange, and 10 parts Lemon Yellow. But it will not have the metallic look.

Or you could just buy the food coloring called gold. You may or may not be able to purchase it with the metallic sheen. Edible gold is available at Sur La Table ($35 for 150 mg; 800/243-0852).

I have decorated cakes for a long time. The closest I have come to gold is canary yellow and a few drops of brown.

Or just mix a little orange, yellow for brightness, snd a slight brown, but be carefull on the brown. Too much or little = no. Make sure it's little for mistakes, you can add but can't take back.

How does one find the temperature to use when cooking two recipes with different baking times and different baking temperatures?

They have different baking times, but what are the tempetures? The same or different. Either you take them out at different times or put them in at different times. Something that calls for 375 for 30 minutes and something that calls for 325 for an hour require just that. Spliting the difference will not work.

Where do i store baking flour?

Flour should be kept tightly covered in a dry place such as a cupboard. Keeping it on the counter is ok as long as it's in a covered container. In some parts of the country people have trouble with pest infestation so it's usually recommended that they keep flour, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. That would probably apply even more if flour isn't used frequently.
