Can I can bread or cake in a jar?

National Center for Home Food Preservation | Canning FAQs
These products are not recommended for canning; choose recipes that you can freeze. In fact, most of these products are not really "canned." The directions call for baking in the jar and then closing with a canning lid. Many recipes for quick breads and cakes are low-acid and have the potential for supporting the growth of a bacteria like Clostridium botulinum if it is present inside the closed jar. One university's research showed a high potential for problems.

Can someone could explain to me what the difference between Banana Bread and Banana Cake is?

David Lebovitz: Recipes Archives
I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with an explanation, any explanation...and I just can't think of one. If you presume that because Banana 'Bread' is made in a loaf pan, whereas a cake is usually baked in a round pan—by that same logic, Pound Cake would be Pound Bread, which doesn't sound quite as inviting. Take muffins, for example. It's funny when people eat a muffin thinking they're being so 'healthy'. The word 'muffin' is just the Latin derivative of 'deceptive baked-good'. See similar questions...

Why is my bread small?

Bread Maker FAQs- Cooking with a Bread Machine
It is likely that too little liquid was added to your dough. During bread making one adds liquid to the yeast to stimulate its production of CO2 allowing the dough to rise. If too little liquid is added the yeast cannot produce enough gluten, causing the loaf to be too small and dense. See similar questions...

What is Ezekiel Bread?

Ezekiel, Essene and Manna breads are made from 100% sprouted grains, as opposed to all other commercially available sprouted grain breads which also have regular flour included in the recipe. The lectins in many grains are contained in the seed coat. The seed coat is actually metabolized by the seed/grain when it is germinated, thereby eliminating the lectin and rendering the food useable. New brand names of sprouted grain bread are continually coming to market. See similar questions...

What if my bread sticks in my bread pan?

Zojirushi
The nonstick baking pan provides excellent release; however, the kneading blades sometimes make the bread difficult to remove. If this happens, allow the bread to cool at least 15 minutes in the pan before attempting to remove the bread. If necessary, twist the two wing nuts that are under the pan in both directions to help release the kneading blades from the loaf. See similar questions...

Is your bread like a sourdough?

We add nothing-just the flour and water to make our starter. Some people say that it is really "wild yeast" in the air that causes the bread to rise. See similar questions...
