My favorite bread is French bread. It is very easy and tastes great. The biggest problem is that it is good for just one or two days. It dries up too quickly. I want to see your video on how to stop it from drying it out. too soon.
Coming out in the not too distant future!
A large sourdough boule retains more moisture than a baguette or batard and will not become stale if properly stored in a bread box for several days, but will develop mold after 3-4 days due in part to that same amount of moisture. This product along with SSL may help address both of these problems in these larger loaves.
Exactly ?
Hi. Dies the encapsulated PS effect the taste of the bread? My favorite bread is pita and whole wheat bread.
It does not.
My favorite bread is ciabatta, A high moisture dough.for sure but to keep fresh It needs to be put in the refrigerator which dries it out. This would be a good use for encapsulate PS. Would the long fermentation time affect the PS?
