Excerpt from The Technology of Bread-Making, Including the Chemistry and Analytical and Practical Testing of Wheat Flour, and Other Materials Employed in Bread-Making and Confectionery
The volume now offered to the reader must be regarded as a development of the writer's former works on the same subject, which appeared in 1886 and 1895. The general mode of treatment is, therefore, to some extent governed by that of its predecessors. It should be remembered that the requirements of the student of the technology of bread-making, whether miller or baker, have been the first consideration and accordingly the arrangement is that which seems most likely to be of service and assistance to him. In addition the authors have endeavoured to make the book as complete a work of general reference as possible.
