My sweet, lovely grandmother passed away last week. She was known for her
bread making. And why not? She made awesome bread AND since she had 12
kids she made 30 loaves a week by hand. Her kids (and kids friends) loved to
help her make bread. She loved whole wheat bread and hated white bread.
Honestly, she was a huge reason why I wanted to learn how to make bread-I
knew it was somewhere in my genes to be able to do it! I realize this may all
sound sappy-so I appreciate you allowing me to dedicate this post to my
grandmother. It ended up being very serendipitous that I was able to talk about
bread making on Studio 5 a few days before she passed. If you missed it-here it
is. Youll be able to see the REAL dierence between a bread made with OUT
any dough enhancers and bread made with dough enhancers. Plus, youll learn
how to make your own natural dough enhancers out of items you probably have
in your kitchen!

WHAT is a dough enhancer? A dough enhancer is a natural product used to
make a better bread product. It will make your bread beautiful, light, uy, and
delicious. Commercially, most breads use this product and you will see the
biggest dierence if you use a dough enhancer in your whole wheat bread
because the whole wheat our is heavy and course unlike all-purpose our.
When you buy a dough enhancer from a store it has basically four key
ingredients. Gluten, acid, starch, and sugar (of course they are called other
things but that is what they are). Those four ingredients serve key roles in
developing a better bread texture by developing and strengthening the bubbles
that make your bread.
1. Gluten: is the natural protein found in wheat. You can think of it as the elastic
in the balloon.
2. Acid: strengthens the balloon so that it doesnt pop too early (if it pops too
early your bread falls, very bad.)
3. Starch: adds an extra layer to your balloon so it wont break or pop-think of it
like the additive they add to helium balloons to last longer. And when youre
dealing with whole wheat the our, remember, is course and can pop or weaken
the gluten.
4. Sugar: this is what the yeast eats. When it eats the sugar it creates the air
that lls the balloon or bubbles.
Now you dont have to buy a commercial dough enhancer to get the same
results. You can make your own natural dough enhancer out of things you
probably have around your house. All you need is gluten, WHITE vinegar for
your acid, and potato akes or instant mashed potatoes (NOT GEMS) for the
starch, and sugar which your bread recipe will already call for.

Tips for using your own everyday items as dough enhancers in WHEAT BREAD:
Gluten: use 1/2 T. 1 T. per cup of our (this means before you measure a cup of
our place the 1/2 T.-1 T. gluten in the bottom of your cup and then measure
our as usual)
WHITE Vinegar: use the same amount of vinegar that you are using for yeast
(i.e. 1 t. yeast 1 t. vinegar)
Potato Flakes: use 1/8 to 1/4 C. per loaf of bread you are making, experiment to
see what works best in your recipe. (do not substitute in potato pearls, they
dont dissolve as easily and are articially avored which you will be able to
taste in your bread)
EZ Wheat Bread recipe
1 1/4 cup warm water
1 Tblsp active dry yeast
1/4 cup honey or 1/3 cup sugar
2 3/4 cups whole wheat our (or whatever combination white/wheat you like..I
use 100% hard white wheat. To learn more about the dierent types of wheat,
download my wheat handout)
1/4 cup wheat gluten
1 tsp salt
2 Tblsp nonfat non instant dry milk
1 Tblsp butter/margarine/oil
1 Tblsp vinegar
1/4 cup potato akes (NOT potato pearls)
Mix ingredients in order listed in mixing bowl of mixer with dough hook
attachment (like kitchen-aid) for 12-15 minutes. Let rise until double, 1- 1 1/2
hours. Punch down, and shape into loaf or rolls. Let rise again until double and
bake 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow
when lightly tapped.
