GERMANY MAKES
BREAD OF POTATOES
INGENUITY HAS SUCCEEDED IN
MAKING BREAD WITHOUT
ANY GRAINS
German ingenuity lias succeeded
m making bread without grain. It
is a sort of “breadless bread,” but
it is tasty and nutritious and when
buttered one cannot tell the differ
ence between it and the real wheaten
article. And it would thus appear
that the German nation is safe from
starvation so longd as it possesses
potatoes an air! Experimental sta
tions have worked out the problem,
and A. Fomet, in the Chemiker
Zeitung of Berlin, has given some
very interesting facts concerning the
study of nutritive values and the
obstacles overcome in making this
ideal war-time bread, which, in the
coming time of peace, may figure
importantly in the cost of living.
“Considerable interest has been
aroused,” says the writer, “by the
announcement that a great Berlin
firm of restaurateurs had succeeded
in baking bread minus wheat flour
as a constituent. Potato starch and
rice starch took ihe place of wheat
flour, giving an uncommon white
ness to the bread. Ail kinds of this
bread, however, had the serious dis
advantage of having too much
weight by far for its volume. More
over, the crumb formed an almost
solid mass, being almost or quite
lacking in aeration.”
As expert housewives and bakers
know, the aeration, porousness or
lightness of good bread is the result
of the expansion or “blowing up” of
the dough by the pressure of the
carbon dioxide or “carbonic acid
gas,” which is fomied when the
yeast begins to “work.”
The tiny particles of dough are
literally blown apart so that they
are separted by tiny cavities or
pores, the principal being the same
as when a child inserts a pipe into
a bowl of soapy water and blows his
breath into it till it becomes a mass
of tiny bubbles.
But this aeration is possible only
when the dough is not too “short,”
I as the expert says.
In other words, the dough must
: be elastic and tenacious so that it
i will not allow the bubbles of carbon
' dioxide to escape until they have
done their work, that is, until the
- pressure of the gas has swelled up
; the gummy mass of the dough and
; made it porous and “light.”
This indispensable elasticity is
I due to the glutens. By their gummy
nature the pressure of the air and
! carbon dioxide is sufficiently re
nrded for the ae rat inn to take place.
But the substitute breads are almost,
entirely lacking in gluten, hence
their failure to resist the pressure
of the expanding carbon dioxide long
enough to become porous.
The problem had its scientific side
and was promptly taken up by the
bakers of the Experimental Institute
for Grain Products.
Mcfst of them failed in their first
attempt to make light bread with
out ordinary grain flour, but better
success crowned their efforts when
they began to mix with the dough
materials which would give it physi
cal properties like those of gulten,
“surprisingly good bread being thus
obtained.”
“The bread thus made,” says Mr.
Form', “is about as porous as
wl bread, the crumb is similar
10 that of semmelbrot, and the crust
cannot be told from that of ordinary
kummelbrotchen.
“As for the -taste, it must be con
J fessed that pure wheat bread has
i he advantage. The first speciment
baked by some of the big firms
round few admirers because of the
poor flavor.
“Of the breads now made it may
be said they are good to eat even
when dry, and when buttered or
used for sandwiches no one who
tasted could tell the difference be
tween wheat bread and the new
graipless bread.”
The chief constituent of this new
bread is starch, which can be raised
in Germany in unlimited quantities,
the “best fonn for Germany beding
the potato-carbohydrate.
Mr. Fomet refers triumphantly
to the recent achievement of the
Berlin Institute for Fermentation
Industries in forming an albumen by
the union af amonia with starch,
particulars of which process have
not yet been made public.
Since the great chemise Haber
has taught the world how to make
amonia synthetically from the at
mosphere it Mould appear, theo
retically at least, that the German
nation is safe from starvation as
long as . it possesses potatoes and
air!
