Bread Basics
These are flour-based products that are "leavened," meaning they rise during baking.
What are Quick Breads?
This type of batter has a thin consistency and can be poured straight from the bowl.
What is Pour Batter?
This batter is fairly thick and needs to be scraped into the baking pan.
What is Drop Batter?
This type of mixture is thick enough that you can actually roll it and shape it by hand.
What is Soft Dough?
This ingredient helps the bread stay tender and rich.
What is Fat (or Butter/Oil)?
Quick breads don't use yeast; instead, they use these two chemical leavening agents to rise.
In a pour batter, you usually have equal amounts of these two things.
What are Liquid and Flour?
Drop batter usually contains this much more flour than liquid.
What is Twice as much?
Soft dough contains about this fraction of liquid compared to flour.
What is 1/3
Even in sweet breads, we add a little bit of this to make all the other flavors "pop".
