Some enthusiasts have been wondering why Dodge chose the Hellcat name for the supercharged HEMI engine ever since the first rumors about the new powerplant started to surface on the web. While he company has yet to provide an official explanation, it appears the engine is actually named after a Grumman World War II fighter plane that had its engines build by Nash.
Lye, or sodium hydroxide, is a chemical made from salt. Yep, ordinary salt. A system similar to electroplating is used to change the salt to lye. I watched a video on how to make it chemically, and itâs simple. Salt is dissolved in cold water to the point just before it starts to precipitate out.
Having the salt on the outside makes it easier for flavor to be pushed back and for the consumer to focus on the tearing and texture, which is the real meat of lye breads. You still have salt and sugar and other flavors in the bread, but they play a backseat role.
