Bread Making: Improving Quality by
After an introductory review of bread making as a whole, Part I discusses wheat and flour quality and Part II reviews dough formation and its impact on the structure and properties of bread.
Bread Making reviews key recent research on the ingredients determining bread characteristics. The text discusses what this information means for improved process control and a better, more consistent product. After an introductory review, Part 1 discusses such concepts as the structure and quality of wheat and flour, and methods for measuring quality. Part 2 covers dough formation and its impact on bread's structure and properties. Key features include:
· Provides a detailed overview of bread making
