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.

The traditional rye bread is the only bread that we make that is sold unsliced. We have tried to slice it in the past however it sticks back together and dries out quite quickly. Typically it is sliced very thin with a serrated knife when being served. See similar questions...

A variety of flours can be used to make bread. As you will often see, some recipes may call for the use of "Bakers Flour or Bread Flour". This flour is recommended because of it's higher protein content - approx. 11-12%, versus ordinary plain flour or all purpose flour, which will have a lower protein content, usually below 10%. The amount of gluten, often referred to, as the "protein in flour" is crucial in bread making. See similar questions...

All purpose flour is fine as long as it is unbleached as bleaching weakens the protein which is needed to give a good texture or crumb to the bread. Bread flour has higher protein and will make a chewier bread. Regional flours may be lower in protein than ones available nationally such as Gold Medal, or Pillsbury. See similar questions...

Generally, the following three main characteristics of wheat flour are considered in determining its suitability for bread making. Protein Quality & Quantity : The protein quality and protein quantity required for bread making is usually measured in terms of loaf volume, satisfactory crust and crumb characteristics obtained under optimum conditions of processing and formula. If two types of flour of the same protein content give different quality. See similar questions...

White Lily® Bread Flour is ideal to use in any bread machine. Bread flour is made with hard wheat flour which has a high protein and high gluten content. Yeast breads require high gluten to form air pockets to make bread rise high and light. See similar questions...

Yes. All of our starters are made with organic flour. Our multigrain bread is made exclusively with organic flour. Organic flours tend to react very well in the starter phase. We strive to balance different kinds of flours on order to achieve a good flavor and texture balance. Traditionally, pugliese (poul yay zay) loaves have a rustic, flat shape which gives them their second name "ciabatta" (che bah ah) which means slipper in Italian. See similar questions...

Bread flour is recommended because of its higher gluten content. Gluten makes the bread dough more elastic which improves the rise and texture of the finished product. All-purpose flour is best suited for making pancakes, waffles and cookies. See similar questions...

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). See similar questions...

The Firenza Sun-Dried Tomato & Cheese Focaccia, the Garlic & Cheese Focaccia, and the Traditional Beer Bread can be made in a bread machine. The instructions are on the back of each box. You will need to supply your own yeast. See similar questions...

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...

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. See similar questions...

Yes you can, however you will need to reduce the yeast to 1 1/2 tsp. And bake on a sweet bread or quick bake cycle for best results. With all the models of bread machines available you may find yours requiring some minor adjustment to time and moisture. See similar questions...

This is more difficult since the baking powder is already added in self-rising flour. If a recipe calls for plain and you have self-rising, check the amounts of leavening in the recipe. If the recipe has less than 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then it is not possible to substitute self-rising flour in the recipe. See similar questions...

To test to see if bread is done, you can wet your finger and tap it in the center of the pan, if it sizzles, it's done. If not just place bread back in oven for and additional 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn yourself! See similar questions...

It is an ancient tradition in the Latin rite that the bread for the Eucharist should be wheaten and unleavened. It was in the haste of their liberating departure from Egypt that the Israelites used unleavened bread for their last meal. It would have been unleavened bread that Jesus used for his last meal with his disciples as they celebrated the Passover meal in memory of that event. See similar questions...
