 * __aim__**: we are trying to get bread to rise. We got the idea from reading.


 * __hypothisis__**: we think the baking powder will make the bread rise because it's really strong

media type="custom" key="11490892"

__**Method**__ 500g plain flour 2 tsp dried yeast 1 tsp of salt 375mls lukewarm water __**extra water, for brushing**__ __**Method**__:
 * ingredents:**
 * 1) In a large mixing bowl combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
 * 2) Beating at low speed, add the water and butter.
 * 3) Continue beating at high speed for 3 minutes.
 * 4) Add 1/2 cup flour and beat 4 minutes longer.
 * 5) Stir in 3 cups flour, or enough to make a soft dough.
 * 6) Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
 * 7) Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes,, or until dough is smooth and elastic, adding a little more flour as necessary.
 * 8) Place dough in a large buttered bowl, turning to butter top.
 * 9) Cover with a clean towel and let rise for about 1 hour in a warm place, free of drafts.
 * 10) Punch dough down; knead until smooth.
 * 11) Cut dough in half, cover with the mixing bowl, and let stand for 15 minutes longer. Roll each half into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Starting with the narrow edge, roll up, turning ends under to make loaves to fit pans.
 * 12) Place rolls seam side down in greased loaf pans, 9x5x3-inches.
 * 13) Cover pans with clean towel and let rise in warm place until double, about 45 minutes.
 * 14) Bake loaves at 400° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped with fingers.
 * 15) Remove from pans to racks; brush with butter for a soft, more flavorful crust, if desired.
 * 16) Makes 2 loaves of white bread.

We will use the same recipe and make 6 different loaves each one with a different raising agent.These will be baking powder, yeast, baking soda, vinegar, Berocca and one with no raising agent,which will be the control. Log __**conclusion**__:The baking soda rise the most. Our hypothisis was almost right! but This experiment isent over we have one more Quesion. __**reflection:**__ We have learned that without a type of raising agent the bread wont rise and it will be disgusting and hard.
