Baking Ingredients & Supplies at Pleasant Hill Grain |
|
Bread Dough Enhancer: Our gluten-free dough enhancer contains natural ingredients that help dough rise better. It also improves texture and keeps your bread fresh longer.

Vital Wheat Gluten: Grains like wheat, rye and barley naturally contain water soluble, highly elastic proteins called "glutenin," or "gluten" for short. (And "vital gluten" is just another name for the same thing.) As yeast creates carbon dioxide gas within developing bread dough, it's the gluten in the dough that traps the bubbles, giving your bread the light texture everyone wants. If the grain (or flour) that you start out with doesn't have sufficient quality or quantity of this gluten protein to start with, you will get brick bread — and everyone will hate it! If your bread hasn't been rising as well as you'd like, supplementing with a little additional gluten is very likely to help dramatically. Amount used is 1/4 to 3/4 cup of vital wheat gluten per 10-12 cups of whole grain flour.

Lecithin Powder: Our lecithin powder is made from raw, natural liquid lecithin — a natural plant product — combined in a proprietary process with soya flour, calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. The result is a highly palatable and nutritious food supplement that contains no artificial colors, preservatives, sugar, starch or animal by-products. Lecithin promotes the buildup of nerve and brain tissue (about 1/3 of our brain and 1/5 of our nerves are made of lecithin) and helps to lower bad-cholesterol levels. Bread & Dough Enhancer: Use lecithin in baking breads, rolls, muffins, biscuits, pancakes, etc., by adding approx. 3 Tbsp. per 3-4 cups of flour. As a 100% natural emulsifier, lecithin improves moisture tolerance and uniform suspension of ingredients and shortens mixing times. Bread texture and elasticity are improved, and crusts are more tender. Fats and oils are stabilized, reducing rancidity and prolonging freshness. Directions are included on the label for incorporating lecithin in bread recipes, and for using lecithin to replace commercial vegetable oil. Resealable package. Net wt. 2 lbs. Health Supplement: Millions of Americans take lecithin in capsules daily as a health supplement. The lecithin in those capsules is, at best, equal in quality to our bulk powdered lecithin, and costs anywhere from two to five times more per unit!

These heavy duty steel bread pans produce better results and are easier to use than others. They have a quality nonstick coating plus dimples for easy release, and the black exterior soaks up radiant heat for even baking. Corners are reinforced by steel rods and the top lip is rolled, eliminating sharp edges. These quality, highly durable bread pans make great gifts -- they bake better bread and will keep doing it for many, many years. When not in use, they nest nicely so several pans store in the space of one! (See bread bags below too.) NORPRO 8" Dimpled Nonstick Bread Pan weighs 7 oz & measures 4.5"W x 3"D x 8"L |

Industrial grade materials make this nonstick loaf pan a standout. It has a premium nonstick coating over heavy gauge aluminum, but our favorite feature is the wide lip edge that makes it so comfortable and easy to handle. Great for breads, teacake, poundcake, desert cakes and meatloaf. Measures 5" x 9" x 2.5" inside. Recipe included. |

Pleasant Hill Grain does not currently sell grain online. Many of our kitchen equipment customers across the country find that local food buying co-ops are the best way to get quality grains at good prices with economical delivery. In some cities you'll find one or more storefront co-ops, but most co-ops are buying clubs -- groups of friends who meet periodically in someone's home, church, etc., to organize orders and break down deliveries. If you ask around, you might find one to join in your area; if you do, we hope you'll pass our Web address around! An online directory of some (not all) co-ops is here. If you can't find a co-op, you and some friends could start one, and these next links will give you a jump-start on the project. Click here for a list of distributors (including cooperative warehouses) your local buying club could order from. One supplier to buying clubs that we're familiar with is Blooming Prarie; they have a page to request information on starting a buying club (or locating one which purchases through them), here. Co-op distributors offer a wide array of foods (some will deliver frozen foods) and are an excellent way to get organic or chemical-free foods that aren't always available in local stores. |
