THE VITAL INGREDIENTS
Eggs can be used in some bread recipes
and provide liquid, aid rising and increase
the nutritional value of the bread. They add
flavour and softness to the crumb and are
usually used in sweeter types of bread.
Other ingredients such as fruit, nuts,
chocolate chips, etc., required to remain
whole in the baked bread, should be
suspended in the dough. These ingredients
should be gradually added during the
kneading and before the dough rises for the
first time.

FOR CAKE AND PASTRY MAKING
Flour, such as plain, self raising and
wholemeal, used for cake and pastry making
should be lower in protein (gluten) than
flour used for bread making.
Plain flour has a lower protein (gluten)
content and gives baked products, such
as cakes, muffins, pastries, scones and
pancakes, a softer texture.
Self–raising flour is a blend of plain flour and
raising agents such as baking powder. Self
raising flour can be used in recipes to replace
plain flour and baking powder. To make 1
cup self-raising flour sift together 1 cup plain
flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
Wholemeal flour contains more parts of the
whole wheat grain — flour, bran and wheat
germ — and can be used in muffins, breads
and pie cases but will have a denser texture.
