Enrichment

You might say: enriched dough, butter, eggs, sugar, milk

Ingredients such as fat, sugar, milk and eggs added to dough to change tenderness, colour, flavour, browning or structure.

What it does

Fat can inhibit gluten development; sugar can tenderize, brown the crust and slow yeast at high levels; milk promotes tenderness and browning.

Ask

Is this a lean or an enriched dough, and how much fat and sugar does it carry?

What to look for

1. Butter, sugar, egg or milk is visible beside the dough
2. The baked crust is softer, darker or more glossy than a lean loaf

Catalogue: Enrichment

• Fat (butter, oil): Fat coats gluten strands and gives bread a more tender texture.
• Sugar: Sweetener that adds flavour and tenderness, darkens the crust as it caramelizes, and slows yeast at high quantity.
• Eggs: Eggs help set baked-good structure and texture.
• Milk: Milk contributes flavour, tenderness and browning.
