Frequently Asked Questions

Can you use more rye flour in a rye bread that suggested?

Real Baking with Rose Levy Beranbaum: FAQs Archives
My preference is for a light rye flavor and texture so I use just under 18% rye. If you want higher than 20% rye you need to make a sourdough rye because the acidity of the sourdough is necessary to keep the crumb from getting sticky (due to the pentosans in the rye flour). To make a bread with about 42% rye, convert the sourdough starter to a sourdough rye starter by feeding it medium rye flour instead of bread flour. You will need a few extra drops of water to achieve a smooth consistency.

Question: Why do Primitive Baptists use real wine and real unleavened bread in communion?

Primitive Baptist FAQ
While scriptural descriptions of the original communion use the terms bread, the cup, and fruit of the vine, it may be conclusively inferred that the bread was unleavened and that the drink was fermented wine. This follows from: The communion took place immediately after the Passover. This was a time in which leavened bread was prohibited, both by scriptural law and by Jewish tradition (Ex 12:3-8, Num 9:9-11, Deut 16:1-3, Mt 26:17, Mk 14:12, Lk 22:7).

Is there a bread recipe using ground adzuki beans or adzuki bean flour?

Knowing Food - FAQ
To be honest, there is no traditional Asian food recipes that use adzuki bean flour or meal, or ground adzuki bean. The hard nature of the bean requires soaking and boiling to be softened before it can be mashed into another ingredient. However, if you can get hold of adzuki bean flour (which is usually sold in cooked and rehydrated form), it is still possible to mix it with bread flour to make bread. Adzuki bean on its own would not react to yeast as it is not starch.
