Preventing Rope in Bread At Home In Hot Weather
Miss Alma Schultz county extension home economist offers tips to stop rope spoilage in bread. Boil utensils in vinegar solution then sun dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons vinegar per pound of flour, or use whey sour milk. Vinegar acids do not alter flavor. Rope appears 1 to 3 days after baking with chalky center spots, crumbly texture, and sticky seams. Bacteria thrive at 100 degrees F or higher, and can grow at 85 degrees but slower.
