CONVERTING RECIPES
When adapting "quick bread" recipes, you will find
it necessary to reduce the amount of leavening
(baking powder or soda) by about one-quarter the
normal amount. A bitter aftertaste is apparent if
too much leavening is used in biscuits or muffins.
Since food rises higher in the microwave oven,
you will not see a loss in volume from the
reduction of soda or baking powder,
if a recipe contains buttermilk or sour cream, do
not change the amount of soda, since it serves to
counteract the sour taste as well as leavening
agent.
When using a mix where leavening cannot be
reduced, allow the dough to stand about 10
minutes before cooking in order for some of the
gas to be lost. Other,viso observe the following
guidelines.
• Breads and rolls should be reheated only until
they are warm to the touch, Overheating or
oversooking makes bread tough and rubbery,
