Chapter 27: Yeast Breads and Rolls

Chapter Summary

Yeast breads are made from dough, a mixture of flour, water, salt, yeast and other ingredients. Yeast dough products are generally classified according to the type of dough used to produce them.

There are three proper methods used to produce yeast products. Regular yeast dough is first kneaded thoroughly, by machine or by hand, and then fermented. The common cause of failure in yeast bread production is lack of interaction between the ingredients.
