User:Gandalf StormCrow/Draft: Techniques of Baking Yeast Breads
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In its simplest form, Baking Yeast Bread is the process of baking a dough combining flour, water and yeast to make bread. Baking bread is elevated to art when the baker works to draw the full potential of substance and flavor out of grain to create a loaf that becomes "the staff of life." Classically, the bread-making process, from basic ingredients to finished loaf, is divided into twelve steps, though differences exist between the understandings of particular teachers and writers: organization, mixing, primary fermentation, degassing, dividing, rounding or pre-shaping, resting, final shaping, proofing, baking, cooling, and storing.[1]
