Bread-baking Secrets
Do you need a warm spot for your bread to rise? Are you out of self-rising flour? Hate to serve cold bread? All these challenges are easily solved with some practical baking training.Easy Rise
A sure way to make your bread dough rise is to place it in the oven, at the lowest setting. If you want to prepare dough ahead of time, let it rise in the refrigerator overnight. Contrary to popular belief, the low temperature does not prevent the dough from rising - it just takes longer.Help! My Recipe Calls for Self-rising Flour
Don't worry. So-called self-rising flour is simply plain flour to which baking powder and salt have already been added. The amounts are 1 and � teaspoons of baking powder and � teaspoon of salt for each cup of flour.Water in the Oven
To keep bread from drying as it bakes, place a separate pan with a cup of water in the oven. The steam from the water will keep the crust soft.Rewarming Bread
Wrap bread in foil and re-warm in a 350-degree oven for about 20 minutes. If the bread is frozen, be sure to thaw completely. If it's starting to harden, sprinkle with a few drops of water before wrapping. For a crispier crust, unwrap the last few minutes.Keep it Warm
To keep bread or rolls warm while you serve, heat an unpainted terra-cotta tile in the oven. Place it in the bread basket, which should be lined with napkins or towels. Add the warm bread, and cover.Following the Course of Great Bakers
For perfect bread, the best learning experience is to watch the experts do it. Why not take a bread baking course at a local baking school?About the Author
