RED STAR has the answers
for sure, easy yeast baking!
Q. "We love yeast breads, but
I have little time for baking.
What is the easiest kind of yeast
breads I can make?"
A. "Yeast Batter-Way breads.
They are mixed quickly, are thin
enough to pour into pans and
require no kneading. Batter
Way breads are very fight and
have excellent flavor. They re
quire so fittle handling that the
busiest homemaker can find
time to bake them."
O. "I am just learning to bake
bread and would like to know of
on easy way to shape loaves?"
A. “Instead of shaping eoch loaf,
divide dough for one loaf in two
ports. Then round up each into o
ball and put the two bolls of
dough into bread pan. In this
way you will have twin loaves
which are interesting and very
quickly shaped."
O. "Whot coumi railed bread
dough to link or fall in the pan
after it geti in the oven?"
A. "Dough can riie too much and
get too light, to there it no
itrength left to give the ‘oven
ipring or lait bit of riung. To
prevent over riling: touch tidet
gently with finger, when loovei
look 01 if they have doubled. If
a dent remain!, loavei are
ready to bake."
