Bread improver is a baking product, which will help improve the texture and the volume of bread. It is often used when making bread from scratch ie: when not using a bread mix. If the centre of your loaf is collapsing, it is more than likely that a bread improver may need to be added. Bread improver has a flour like texture and contains ingredients such as ascorbic acid, soy flour and en2ymes (amylase). It can be purchased from selected supermarkets or Health Food stores.

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...

All bread has yeast and the idea is that you TOAST it WELL. This kills the yeast. I would avoid sourdough and fruity breads but the others are fine. Return to Top. See similar questions...

Our bread rises as a result of the starter method we use. All Pacific Bakery products are made under supervision of Kosher Overseers of America (KOA). They are not suitable for Passover because they are leavened. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Commercial breads can contain non-vegan ingredients, including whey, honey, shortening (some labels specify vegetable shortening, which is vegan), milk, and eggs. Sodium stearyl lactylate, glycerides, emulsifiers, natural flavor, mono- and diglycerides, glycerides, emulsifiers, artificial flavor, and lactase are just a few of the ingredients that, although not in every case necessarily animal-derived, should be considered non-vegan. Some bakeries grease the bread pans with animal fat. See similar questions...

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...

instant read thermometer will let you know when the bread is thoroughly cooked. It should read at 190 degrees F when put into the middle of the bread after baking. If the cycle is over and bread is not cooked all the way through, you may finish it in your conventional oven. Another option, if you bread maker has a Bake Only cycle, is finishing it in the pan. However, most machines need time to cool off before they can bake again. See similar questions...

Bread collapsing may be a sign that you are using too much liquid. When too much fluid is added gluten growth is stimulated so much that the dough cannot hold its structure and collapses. See similar questions...

Molds are part of a larger group of microorganisms called fungi. Fungi are found everywhere, but soil, air, water, and decaying organic matter are prime sources. Molds are microscopic plants made up of several cells. Many have a filament and a head that contains spores that can spread through the air and start new mold plants. See similar questions...

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...

home, fresh bread will stay fresh longer if it is held at room temperature. Staling will be slowed or halted by keeping bread in the freezer. Bread stales the quickest in the refrigerator. So, why do many people store their bread in the refrigerator? Answer: To keep it from molding. A warmer temperature will keep bread fresh longer, but it also causes bread to mold faster. Refrigerator temperatures slow the growth of mold and freezer temperatures will stop mold growth. (Answered by Dr. See similar questions...

Our bread is like sourdough in that it has a starter, but that's where the similarity ends. Virtually every sourdough has something added to it to make it rise, like yeast, dairy, sugar or vinegar. 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...

This is a frequent question that we get, since on one hand, at many restaurants it is common to get a basket of bread rolls (usually from a nearby bakery) and, on the other hand, many Indian restaurants around the world have "dinner plates" that include a portion of rice. There are two parts to the answer to this question: one is a commercial part and the other more important part is the artistic part. See similar questions...
