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 and does not act only as a
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.
Breads and rolls should be reheated
only until they are warm to the touch.
Overheating or overcooking makes
bread tough and rubbery.
