Preface

Not another book on breadmaking! A forgiveable reaction given the length of time over which bread has been made and the number of texts which have been written about the subject.

To study breadmaking is to realize that, like many other food processes, it is constantly changing as processing methodologies become increasingly more sophisticated, yet at the same time we realize that we are dealing with a food­stuff, the forms of which are very traditional. We can, for example, look at ancient illustrations of breads in manuscripts and paintings and recognize prod­ucts which we still make today. This contrast of ancient and modern embodied in a single processed foodstuff is part of what makes bread such a unique subject for study. We cannot, for example, say the same for a can of baked beans!

Another aspect of the uniqueness of breadmaking lies in the requirement for a thorough understanding of the link between raw materials and processing meth­ods in order to make an edible product. This is mainly true because of the special properties of wheat proteins, aspects of which are explored in most of the chapters of this book. Wheat is a product of the natural environment, and while breeding and farming practices can modify aspects of wheat quality, we millers and bakers still have to respond to the strong influences of the environment.

The quality of the baker's main raw material, wheat flour, varies and so special knowledge is needed to ensure the right product qualities are formed in the bread for the consumer. Since some of the most significant changes in wheat quality are related to the environment in which it is grown, a most important tool for bakers is knowledge, without it they cannot adjust recipes or processing methods to ensure consistent product quality.

It is because breadmaking requires constant reaction to 'natural' changes and it has been the subject of scientific and technological study that there is room for another book on the subject. New ideas are being presented to bakers from wheat breeders, millers and ingredient and equipment suppliers, which are coupled with consumer and legislative pressures. These have to be integrated with 'natural' changes.

It is the purpose of this book to provide a useful tool to help bakers, scientists and technologists to cope with those changes. We hope that when you read through the contributions you will find something to make your particular job easier, or even something to enjoy.

As you read through the various chapters there will be occasions when you say to yourself 'I've read about that before'. When you get different authors to write about breadmaking, they have to consider the same common themes but

xx PREFACE

they will approach them from their own special angles. The most common theme of course is the conversion of wheat to flour to bread. Each individual involved in that conversion process has a contribution to make, but in order for that contribution to be successful they must understand what part they play, and because of this they have different needs in their understanding. These different needs will be evident as they discuss common issues such as gluten develop­ment, so

• the cereal scientist seeks to understand the molecular reactions; • the bakery technologist seeks to apply the understanding and solve bakers'

problems; • the flour miller seeks to ensure a consistent product by understanding the

links between wheat, flour and bread quality; • the ingredient suppliers seek to understand the contribution of their ingredi­

ents to bread quality; • the equipment manufacturers seek to understand how dough behaviour inter­

acts with their equipment; and • bakers seek to make bread for their customers.

Editing a book of this type, just like breadmaking itself, is a team effort and so we would like to thank the members of our team:

• The authors of the individual chapters who having agreed to write a contribu­tion discovered like so many before that it is not as easy as it looks when you read a book written by someone else. We thank all of you for patience and perseverance.

• The publishers without whom this book would not have seen the light of day. • Our many supporters, both moral and material. • Our scientific mentors.

Why thirteen chapters? That is easy to answer - thirteen is the traditional 'bakers dozen'.
