Yeast BreadTroubleshooting/Types

Troubleshooting

• A high quality yeast bread has a large volume and a smooth, rounded top. The surface is golden brown. When sliced, the texture is fine and uniform. The crumb is tender and elastic, and it springs back when touched.

Under or Over Worked

• Low volume because carbon dioxide has leaked out

To long rise time

• Over-expanded air cells• Top of loaf may be sunken with overhanging

sides, much like a mushroom• Coarse texture and crumbly

To short rise time
