VIENNA BREAD
Recipe for 4 portions:
INGREDIENTS QUANTITY UNIT
Flour 100 Gms
Yeast 10 Gms
Salt 10 Gms
Sugar 30 Gms
Fat 30 Gms
METHOD:
1. To produce quality Vienna bread, the dough should be fully fermented but not over
aged.
2. Young dough will result in loaves with a tough rubbery crust, while loaves from over
fermented dough will have a hard brittle crust.
3. Vienna loaves are made up in great variety of shapes, the most popular being the
pointed shape. Vienna bread should have almost full prove before it is placed in the
oven.
4. The loaves are usually given 2-3 more diagonal cuts before being loaded into the
oven.
5. Sesame or poppy seeds are sometimes sprinkled on the loaves before baking (give
water wash before putting seed).
CHARACTERISTICS:
The interior characteristics of Vienna bread differ from pan bread. The grain is more open with some
holes, the crumb drier.Testure is harsher.The crust and crumb are more thoroughly baked than the
pan bread, which accounts for the fine flavour and taste.
Vienna bread is a type of bread that is produced from a process developed inVienna, Austria, in the
19th century.The Vienna process in part used highmilling of Hungarian grain, cereal press-
yeast for leavening, and care and thought in the production process. In Vienna leaven is never used
for making the rolls and small goods for which that city is famous. Viennese bakers use either
brewers' yeast or a ferment, prepared by themselves, of which the basis is an infusion of hops.Vienna
yeast was propagated utilizing a mashof malted corn, barley, and rye. The dough is placed into
the oven under a ceiling of steam or, alternatively, the oven is injected with steam as soon as the loaf
is loaded. This adds moisture to the body, the crumb, of the bread which delays establishment of the
crust and tends to prevent cracking, resulting in a more evenly risen and thinner crust as well as a light
and airy crumb.
When the steam is gone (sometimes today, withdrawn), the dry heat of the oven bakes the crust,
producing its characteristically slightly crisp and flaky texture.
Vienna bread is typically formed as an oblong loaf, but can be baked in other shapes.
As a longer loaf, it may well have been the origin of French bread as bakers there attempted to adopt
the steam method to produce their baguettes.

A Brownie is a flat, baked square or bar developed in the United States at the end of
the 19th century and popularized in both the U.S. and Canada during the first half of
the 20th century.
The brownie is a cross between a cake and a cookie in texture. Brownies come in a
variety of forms. They are either fudgy or cakey, depending on their density, and they
may include nuts, frosting, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or other ingredients. A
variation that is made with brown sugar and no chocolate is called a blondie.
Brownies are common lunchbox fare, typically eaten by hand, and often accompanied
by milk or coffee. They are sometimes served warm with ice cream(à la mode),
topped with whipped creamor marzipan, or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
They are especially popular in restaurants, where they can be found in variation on
many dessert menus
