WHITE BREAD, BROWN BREAD
added 12.10.04
bpm 97- 97% of uk bread made using the chorleywood bread process: cbp was adopted by the uk baking industry in the early sixties. cbp significantly reduced the time required to produce loaves within automated bread production. combining chemical improvers and low protein flours in mechanical high speed mixers the bread dough develops in a few minutes without the need for fermentation. fermentation is essential for the development of bread flavour and texture. furthermore, in order to bind the dough together, large quantities of vegetable fat are used. sliced, wrapped bread is the ultimate product of the cbp method.
i can't find the ingredients for the organic white sliced loaf i used, but below are the details for the brown loaf:
stay fresh wholemeal sliced: wholemeal flour, water, yeast, salt, vegetable fat, emuslifiers (mono-and di-glycerides of fatty acids, mono- and di-acetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and di-glycerides of fatty acids), soya flour, preservatives (calcium propionate, potassium sorbate), vinegar, flour treatment agent (ascorbic acid)
emulsifiers are binding agents to make oils and water mix.
calcium propionate is an anti-moulding agent
ascorbic acid is vitamin c
the ultimate modern compromise: brown bread is nutritionally better for you but contains 5 times more pesticide residues (due to the milling process) than white bread.
a modern industrialised loaf takes 1 1/2 hours to bake make from start to packaged finish compared to: between 5 and 24 hours for a traditionally fermented, non-mechanically made loaf.
all melodies and chords are samples of a bellini bet 200 toaster (made in china) and played by phil parnell, dave o'higgins, pete wraight and matthew Herbert live percussion is made from white toast, brown toast and a Russell hobbs and bellini toaster. the kick drum is a petrol can. they are all played by leo taylor
