Bread or all-purpose flour
Yeast in Yeast Breads
Enzyme
flour + sugar + h2o + alcohol = fermentation
Forms of Yeast
Compressed (cake), dry, and Starter
Compressed (cake) yeast

Dry Yeast
Doesnt need refrigeration
lasts a year
Do not challenge date
Starter Yeast
Mix of yeast and sugar, then add h2o and flour
Underfermentation of Yeast
Won't get enough co2 or volume, it won't be tender
Overfermentation of Yeast
Too much yeast, too much time, cells walls are large, has a yeasty taste
Liquid in Yeast
Milk (richness in flavor, makes bread crumb more white)
H2O (french bread)
Potato Water (high in starch)
Whey (better than h2o, more nutrients)
Sugar in Yeast Breads

Inhibits yeast fermentation, has a good effect on texture (otherwise it tastes flat and dull), is important to flavor
Amount of Salt in Yeast Loaf
1 teaspoon
Fat in Yeast Breads
Usually butter and margarine
1. increases tenderness, interfers w/gluten developm.
2. enhances keeping quality (adds moistness to inside)
3. small amounts improve volume
4. improves flavor
Amount of Fat in Yeast Loaf or yeast rolls
Loaf: 1-1.5 T
Rolls: 2-4 T.
Refrigerator Yeast Rolls

Slightly faster to make
Not as attractive, irregular grain
Kneading
Push, Pull back, turn
For 10 minutes
Dough gets smoother and soft
Develops gluten
Rising-Fermentation-Proofing
let rise until dough doubles in volume, punch it down, let it rise until it doubles again, shape it for baking
Ways to Aid Fermentation
Turn electric overn on at 400 F for 1 minutes, then turn off

Simmer water in a skillet on range top, cover with a cookie sheet and place pan with dough on top covered with a cloth
Put covered bowl in very warm water in the sink
Panning or Shaping Yeast bread
Do after the first rising
Add extra ingredients
Put in pan or hand shape it
Baking Yeast Breads
1. Final, Rapid Fermentation
2.Temperature of interior rises until yeast and enzymes are destroyed and fermentation has stopped
3. alchol developed is volatilized
4. Gluten becomes fixed crumb
(elastic to solid)
5. Crust is formed (mainly due to Maillard Rxn)
