What's the difference between cake and bread?
1, different practices

Cake is made in the oven. Cake is mainly made of eggs, sugar and wheat flour. Milk, fruit juice, milk powder, fragrant powder, salad oil, water, shortening and baking powder are auxiliary materials. After stirring, concocting and baking, sponge-like snacks are made.

Bread, also called bread, is a kind of food made of five kinds of grains (usually wheat) by grinding and heating. Baked food is made of wheat flour as the main raw material, and yeast, eggs, oil, sugar and salt are added. As an auxiliary material, it is mixed with water to make dough, which is cut, shaped, proofed, baked and cooled.

2. Different materials

Cake materials mainly include flour, sweetener (usually sucrose), binder (usually eggs, which vegetarians can replace with gluten and starch), shortening (usually butter or margarine, and cakes with low fat content will be replaced with concentrated juice), liquid (milk, water or juice), essence and starter (such as yeast or baking powder).

Bread is a kind of food with rye, wheat and other grain crops as basic raw materials, which is first ground into powder, then mixed with water, salt and yeast to make dough blank, and then heated by baking, baking, steaming and frying.

3. Different characteristics

The amount of oil in the cake formula is as high as about 60% of flour, which is used to lubricate the batter, make it soft, and help the batter to mix a lot of air during the stirring process to produce a puffing effect. Generally, cream cakes and pudding cakes belong to this category.

The characteristic of bread formula is that the ratio of oil to sugar is lower than other products. According to the international practice of staple bread, the consumption of sugar generally does not exceed 10%, and the consumption of oil does not exceed 6%. The main reason is that the staple bread is generally eaten with other non-staple foods, and there is no need to add too many accessories. The staple bread mainly includes flat or curved pillow bread, big round bread and French bread.
