About This Lesson
In this film, Paul Rhodes guides us through the process of making thousands of cakes, rolls and loaves of bread every day. As an 'artisan' baker, Paul uses just flour, water, salt and specially manufactured yeast are used to create his delicious bread. Other types of industrial bakers focus on high speed and fast output; they use additional 'improvers' such as amylase, an enzyme that accelerates the breakdown of more complex carbohydrates within the flour.
