Water
: Water rehydrates and activates the yeast. It also hydrates the flour's starch and enables
the loaf to be formed. Water may be replaced, in whole or in part, by milk or other liquids.
Use
liquids at room temperature, except for gluten-free breads, which require the use of warm
water (approximately 35°C).
Fats and oils
: Fats make the bread fluffier. It will also keep better and longer. Too much fat
slows the rise of the dough. If you use butter, crumble it into small pieces or soften it. Do not
incorporate melted butter. Prevent the fat from coming into contact with the yeast, since the fat
could prevent the yeast from rehydrating.
Eggs
: They improve the bread's colour and favour good development of the loaf. If you use eggs,
reduce the quantity of liquid accordingly. Break the egg and add the necessary liquid until you
obtain the quantity of liquid indicated in the recipe.
The
recipes have been designed for a medium-sized egg of 50 g
, if the eggs are larger, add
some flour; if the eggs are smaller, add a little less flour.
Milk
: Milk has an emulsifying effect that leads to the creation of more regular cells, and therefore
an attractive loaf appearance. You may use fresh milk or powdered milk. If you use powdered
milk, add the quantity of water initially reserved for milk: the total volume must be equal to the
volume indicated in the recipe.
