- glutenin
2

- More nutritious
- Longer shelf-life
- Natural preservatives
3
Q
When are breads not sourdough
A
- Look for missing/doesn’t belong in ingredients
- vinegar
- not made from sourdough culture
4

A
- hard red spring wheat
- high protein
- grown on great plains
- exported to over 70 countries
- flour blending
6
Q
wheat domesticated
A
- 10,000 yrs ago
- Important traits: seed size and non-shatterable
7
Q
Importance of using filtered H2O
A
Tap H2O contains chlorine, kills microbes
8
Q
Initial mixing of H2O and flour
A
- Forming gluten from gliadin and glutenin
- Amylase hydrolizes starches to sugars-maltose primarily
- protease hydrolizes proteins to amio acids & reform gluten
- 15-20 min incubation
9
Q
What does salt provide
A
- Flavor and charge shielding
- creates more stable sourdough
10
Q
Sourdough starter
A
- Enrichment using only flour & H2O, sometimes juice
- Provide leavening and flavor
- 3-14 days to make
11
Q
How is a starter your pet
A
- Feed every week
- discar most, feed h2o and flour
- used to build double starter
12
Q
Primary microbes
A
- lactobacillus sanfranciscensis
- heterofermentive, acetic acid
- utilize maltose, excrete glucose
- above 35 degrees, >ph 3.5, sensitive to salt
- caudida milleri, saccharomyceses exigaus
- wild yeast
- cant metabolize maltose, can glucose
- prefer growing room temp
- inhibited by acetic acid levels
13
Q
Sourdough process
A
- Make double starter from mature starter
- mix flour and water
- add salt and double starter
- knead 10-15 min
- ferment in large contaienr
- punch down(optional)
- form into loaves
- proof (2nd ferm.)
- bake
14
Q
Importance of hot oven to crust formation
A
- numorous chemical reactions, including maillard rxn
- 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline
- low odor threshold
- formed in maillard rxn
- Hunmid heat is important (add water in pan to oven)
- allows bread to expand before it dries out, forms crust
15
Q
Milk contains
A
- lactose
- casein
- many fatty acids
