Читать книгу Easy Wheat, Egg and Milk Free Cooking - Rita Greer - Страница 5

For most people wheat is a wonderful food! It is cheap, easy to grow and harvest, is highly nutritious and extremely versatile, keeps well and tastes good. One of its most interesting qualities is that when liquid is added to wheat flour it will make a very elastic dough that can be shaped and baked. It will also thicken, make smooth and bind other ingredients. We eat wheat mainly in the form of bread and other bakery products. It is also widely used in a variety of products from instant desserts to Communion wafers.
