Ingredient range

Profile picture for user rcoplen

Could someone tell me the range of salt, yeast and fat for regular loaf breads. I know artisan. Thank you!

RCoplen,

 

From "The Bread Baker's Apprentice" (aka BBA): Salt is usually in the range of 1.5 to 2.5%

 

From my analysis of more than 350 recipes I see the other two ingredients fall in the range as follows:

Yeast: .1% (some Ciabatta) to 5% (some very rich doughs)

Fat: 0% (Lean dough) to about 100% (very rich doughs like Brioche)

 

Here is a link to a post that I made here  [url=http://http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/28841/comparing-enriched-breads-vs-rich-breads/]Comparing Enriched Breads vs. Rich Breads[/url].

 

I hope this helps.
