draft-free place for 45 minutes or

Bread Baking Tips:

01 Use bottled water instead of tap

water to make your breads. Water
softeners and chlorinated public
water can sometimes kill the yeast
needed to make your bread dough
rise.

02 Keep yeast stored in an airtight

container and in the refrigerator.
Heat, moisture, and air kills the
yeast and prevents bread dough
from rising.

03 Breads made with milk have a soft

crust while breads made with
water will have a harder crust. To
soften a crust that is too hard,
store the bread in a plastic bag.

04 If you are using powdered milk

instead of fresh milk, measure the
dry milk into the bowl and add the
correct liquid amount separately.
For one cup of milk, use three
tablespoons of dry milk and one

cup of water.

05 Both dry and fresh herbs can be

added to most yeast breads. Three
tablespoons of fresh herb equals
about one tablespoon of dried
herb.

06 Bread our has a higher amount of

gluten than all-purpose our. This
means that bread made with bread
our will rise higher than bread
made with all-purpose our. You
can make your own bread our by
adding 1-1/2 teaspoons gluten to
each cup of all-purspose our you
use in your bread recipe.
