A while back on another thread about baking bread our friend and member from Canada, Petek suggested using dry powdered milk when baking homemade bread. This last Wednesday I baked a loaf of Whole Wheat bread using 1/4 cup of powdered non fat milk and 1 1/3 cups water instead of my usual 2/3 cup evaporated milk and 2/3 cup water.
What a miraculous difference it made! We just had our lunch sandwich using this bread that is now 4 days old, and you would never know it! This bread is still just as soft and fresh as it was the day it was baked! I’m a believer. On Thursday I made a batch of Whole Wheat hamburger buns again using the powdered milk and water rather than my usual 1/2 and 1/2 water and evap milk and they are the most excellent hamburger buns I’ve ever made!
Thanks Pete for the great baking tip!!!! You’re never too old to learn something new.
