What is the name of the protein that helps bread dough to be stretchy and elastic?
The main protein in flour is gluten. This forms when moisture is added to flour. High grade/strength flours have a higher level of gluten content and are therefore better for bread making.
Gluten flour is also available and can be added to strengthen ordinary flours. A usual quantity is one teaspoon per cup of flour.
yes Bread can be good for you. only when eaten in the correct way wholemeal and brown bread is better for you then white bread because it is high in fibre! all bread is good for you on its own but when you add butter and fillings it can stack up the calories! bread makes the stomach stick out more! my adivse is to eat bread in small amounts and not to spread loads of things on it

Yes, fish is a type of meat.
Although we commonly refer to meat (meaning red meat), fish, seafood and poultry, the food we are referring to is mainly muscle fibre, or meat.
It's easier to list, for example, recipes under these headings rather than group everything under 'meat', because methods of cooking different meats, while sometimes identical or nearly so, can also differ markedly.

Can you use normal self raising flour to make bread?
Not your standard loaf, no. The reason that bread flour is called strong flour (or at least it is in the UK) is because it contains a lot of gluten. Gluten is the protein that holds the whole thing together when bread rises. If you don't have much gluten then your bread can't hold it's shape when it rises and will collapse. The end result is still edible, but not light and fluffy like the inside of a loaf should be, instead it will be dense and chewy. Not ideal for sandwiches!
What is the function of using salt in bread?
Salt does the same thing in pastry that it does in cooking - It enhances flavor! It rounds out flavor, and it makes everything seem to come together. It also makes you thirst for more. Salt also has a chemical role. In dough and pastry it enhances texture as well. Some items made without salt will be tough and dense with a hard crust. Puff pastry will taste flat and greasy and will not color. Salt has an unusual effect on fat, as well. When you eat sweet butter on bread in your mouth you feel some kind of fat, some kind of oiliness on the palate. If you do that with salted butter you don't get that same sensation. Salt has several functions in baked goods: * It contributes to overall flavor.
* In bread, it controls the fermentation rate of yeast.
* It has a strengthening effect on the gluten protein in the dough. Without salt, bread rises faster and air pockets enlarge where the gluten has broken, allowing holes to form. Bread made without salt will taste bland. If you choose to eliminate salt, decrease the proofing time so that the large air pockets don't have time to develop. Salt should not be eliminated from recipes using automatic bread-making machines.

No, you do not need to spray a paper loaf pan.The inside is usually already non-stick, eliminating the need to grease it.
Why would the dough not rise if it is placed straight into the hot oven?
The yeast in a bake is what causes the rising. Yeast are alive and part of their biological process is the release of carbon dioxide. The CO2 causes the rising. As you bake the yeast are killed and CO2 production ceases. The bake then stops rising

Since bread is square then why is sandwich meat round?
=== === Because the bread company is trying to convince the sandwich meat company to make their meat square and the sandwich meat company is trying to convince the bread company to make bread round.
Many sandwich meats, particularly early ones, were types of large sausages. Preserved meats were stuffed in intestinal casings, so their shape was round when sliced. Most of the round luncheon meats today are sausage types: bologna, salami, etc. The meats that are not always round are the ones least directly linked to sausages: turkey, roast beef, etc. Why do hot dogs come in packs of 8, when buns come in packages of 12? You use 8 buns on hot dogs, and the other 4 go moldy I believe hot dogs come in packs of ten and buns come in packs of eight. That way, you put eight dogs on eight buns and give the other two hot dogs to your real dog(s). Back in the mid 1960's I worked in a grocery store and there actually was a loaf of ROUND bread, It was made by Rainbo Bread. The jokes on it was that it could only be used for bologna sandwiches, or that it was hard to keep on the shelf because it kept rolling off. It turned out like the Edsel - didn't get anywhere. The newness fizzled out in a few months and I have never seen a commercially made round loaf of bread since. try French bread ---- It's a matter of economics in an industrial society. Before the industrialization of bakeries all loaves of bread were round. With higher demand, tin loaf pans allowed bakers to fit more loafs in an oven, which increases efficiency and reduced fuel costs. However, for the meat producing industries round presses, processing, and packaging were more cost efficient.
What does it mean to bench rest something that you are baking?

How has bread changed over the years?
Leon Kossover was the inventor of the donut hole. While working in a bakery in the 1950's, he was making donuts one day. When asked to take all of the holes that were punched out of the donut's roll them out to make more donuts, he had the idea to leave them the way they were, cook them and put toppings on them. His boss liked this idea. He packaged them in groups of 12 and sold them in the bakery. They were such a huge hit in the bakery they began to sell them in the local stores where they were flying off of the shelves. From that point on, donut holes became the hit that they are today.
originally it was invented by a woman named Amy Diep
