Bread Made With Baking Powder Recipe

Where bread is made with baking powder

the following rules should be closely observed: if any shortening be

used, it should be rubbed into the flour before it is wet; cold water

or sweet milk should always be used to wet it, and the dough should be

kneaded immediately, and only long enough to thoroughly mix it and form

it in the desired shape; it should then be placed in a well-heated oven

and baked quickly--otherwise the carbonic acid gas will escape before

the expanded cells are fixed in the bread, and thus the lightness of the

loaf will be impaired.
