Basic bread is the simplest thing to make with flour. All you need is flour, water, yeast, and a little bit of fat, salt and sugar.

Yeast – the raising agent

Strong flour – bread flour has a high gluten content compared to normal flour which traps the gas made by the yeast and helps the bread to rise

Biscuits mean different things to different people.

https://www.goedkoopvliegen.nl/uncategorized/m4nf5dr163z Recently I have made biscuits and cookies, and I do a cake every now and again. I’m afraid I rarely make pastry as its so easy to buy ready made. Sometimes I make bread in my bread maker but never just on its own. Life is much easier for us than it was for those first people who squashed up some wheat!

    Well, I’m afraid I have always used self-raising flour for my pastry, and I am guessing that it’s because my mother did. 🙂
    Incidentally, it has been shown that trans-fats which are found in hard margarine are some of the worst for your health. I use a mixture of soft margarine and lard for my pastry which seems OK…not that I make much these days…crumbles are quicker!
    Seeing the word shortening prompted me to look up ‘shortnin’ bread’ (as in the song)on wikipedia…very interesting!

    Yes I think some people now think saturated fats are not necessarily that bad – in moderation, but trans fats are the real baddies. I agree that crumbles are quicker too!
