PASTRY. (continued 2)
Reading edition
French bread may be shaped like other bread, round or square; it is just as good.
Rolls, or rather French rolls as they are generally called, are made, shaped, and baked in the same way.
It is a mistake to call bread certain mixtures of flour, soda, and milk; or flour, milk, and butter, etc.; it is no more bread than a mixture of carbonic acid, water, alcohol, molasses, vitriol, etc., is wine. No one can give a name to such a mixture except chemists.
