About This Book

This work offers a practical and chemical study of bread and its substitutes, beginning with a survey of alimentary properties and a historical sketch of breadmaking. It analyzes the chemical composition of cereals and flours, explains the theory of panification, and distinguishes unleavened, leavened, and yeast-raised breads. Detailed methods and recipes are provided for breads made from wheat, oats, rye, barley, rice, maize, buckwheat, potatoes, and other farinaceous materials, plus guidance on commercial and domestic baking techniques, yeast preparation and preservation, common quality errors, adulteration laws, and economical practices for producing wholesome, nutritious loaves.
