Abstract
The effects of fermentation time and bromate level with 0.15 and 1.0% sponge salt on the sponge‐and‐dough bread quality and physical dough properties of a Canadian red spring wheat sample (No. 1 CWRS‐13.5) have been studied. At the higher sponge salt level, fermentation requirements were substantially reduced for each bromate level. The higher sponge salt level also reduced oxidation requirements and gave bread of acceptable quality over a much wider range of fermentation times. Changes in sponge heights during fermentation and dough energy requirements during mixing and sheeting suggested that the higher sponge salt level increased gas retention properties.
