What a loaf of bread costs in food value study
Prof Harry Snyder of Minnesota Agricultural College reports findings from bread making tests at Minnesota University. The average pound loaf weighed about 1 lb 1 oz. From three quarters of a pound flour and 20 percent water, a loaf can be made. Water absorbed can raise weight by 4 to 10 percent, water weight not nutrients. At 2 cents per pound flour, a loaf costs about 2 cents excluding fuel and labor, with shortening and yeast about half a cent. Dry matter loss typically about 2 percent of flour, rising in fermentation to higher percentages.
