How do you double/triple/quadruple a bread recipe?!


Question: How do you double/triple/quadruple a bread recipe!?
I'm actually trying to figure out if I can take a recipe that makes about 2 lbs of bread and make it into a recipe that makes dozens of loaves of bread (for a commercial size mixer)!. Is it simply multiplying all the ingredients like 10x!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
There is no rule of thumb about what to quadruple and what not to on a recipe!. This is where "standardizing" a recipe comes into play, and you need to use a recipe that has already been tested for a large quantity!. A home-sized recipe may have already had the eggs rounded up and the yeast rounded down, so multiplying the recipe by any factor will magnify the estimation already done and not give you satisfactory results!. The bigger the multiplication factor, the bigger the screw-up!.

Here is a recipe for 6 doz!. white yeast rolls!.!.!.!. you can form them into loaves ifyou desire!.

4 oz!. sugar
3 Tbsp!. salt
6 oz!. shortening
1? qt!. scalded milk (still warm)
Place all in mixer bowl and combine; cool to lukewarm!.

Soften 1? cups dry yeast in 1 cup warm water (105-115oF); add softened yeast and 4 beaten eggs to milk mixture and combine well!.

4 lbs, 12 oz flour
Add flour to milk/yeast mixture to make a moderately soft dough!. Mix on low speed until smooth, satiny, and elastic!.

Turn into lightly greased bowl, turn over to coat completely; Cover, let rise in warm place (80oF) until double in bulk!.
Punch down, divide into thirds for ease in handling!. Shape into 1? oz rolls!. Let rtise until doubled!. Bake at 400-425oF for 15-25 min!.

3-4 hours are required to mix and rise dough!. For a quicker rising dough, increase yeast to 2 oz!. dry yeast!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Google has a calculator function!. There is also a converter for cups into pounds and stuff like that!.

If you have a question about a specific recipe, we need to know which recipe it is!.

But the basic answer is, you just use the multiples!. They chemistry and physics remain the same!.
