WHAT IS GLUTEN

-PETER PARK JR (VNKJ85A)

Let’s clarify the distinction between GLUTEN and the DEVELOPING of
Gluten through mixing and kneading (what Jackie calls “making
Gluten”):

++ GLUTEN (also called ‘VITAL GLUTEN’) is one of several components
of the wheat berry that is milled to make flour. It is high in
protein and contributes to a lighter bread, higher rise, and
IMPORTANTLY for those of us at high altutude, an elastic quality that
reduces the liklihood of a rising loaf falling (like a balloon
bursting because the rubber won’t stretch anymore) — GLUTEN gives
the dough more stretch.

++ DEVELOPING THE GLUTEN (what Jackie describes) is the result of
mixing and kneading that results in the elastic properties described
above being developed in dough from Gluten in it. By hand kneading,
or by kneading in an automatic breadmaker, the elasticity that Jackie
described develops ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT GLUTEN IS PRESENT in the
flour.

++ Various flours have more or less GLUTEN present — All flour has
some GLUTEN (or VITAL GLUTEN) — Bread Flour has considerably more
Gluten — this is good for bread making and bad for cake making and
other uses (which is why there are other types of flour (e.g. ALL
PURPOSE FLOUR) ++ The ADDITION of GLUTEN (VITAL GLUTEN) beyond what
is already in the flour is for several reasons: — It is added to ALL
PURPOSE flour to give it the GLUTEN amount already in BREAD FLOUR.
For some this is economics, since ALL PURPOSE FLOUR with Gluten added
is often cheaper than BREAD FLOUR.
— It is added to BREAD FLOUR to give extra rise and consistency
(that is why bakers use it) — It is added at high altutudes to
provide extra elasticity. The chemical reason has to do with reduced
density (pressume) at high elevations which causes the ‘bubble’ of
rising bread to [fall] if the dough lacks extra elasticity. ADDED
Gluten is nice for some – critical at high Alt.

++ GLUTEN (or VITAL GLUTEN) is available at health food stores for
use for the reasons noted above.
— Many health food stores have it in bulk — Most also have it in
boxes especially ARROWHEAD MILLS IN A 10 oz box ($ 2.19 to $2.69

other vegies are too mushy for my taste, so I toss them).

—–MARINADE—–
1/8 ts Thyme
1/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
1/8 ts Allspice
1 tb Finely minced green onions
—–STUFFING—–
1/2 c Coganc
1/2 c Very finely minced onions

Salt
1 Bay leaf

First, marinate the strips of game. In a non-reactive bowl, mix together
the marinade ingredients, the cognac, salt and pepper, thyme, allspice and
green onions. Add strips of game and marinate while preparing stuffing. For
stuffing, cook onions slowly in the butter until tender. Scrape into large
mixing bowl. Pour cognac into same skillet and boil until reduced by half,
scraping bottom of skillet to loosen any pan drippings. Scrape into bowl
with onions. Add pork and veal, beaten eggs, salt, pepper, allspice, thyme
and garlic. Beat vigorously with wooden spoon until thoroughly blended. To
assemble pate, line bottom and sides of laof pan with blanched bacon (to
blanch plunge bacon into boiling water, remove immediately and drain
briefly under cold running water), reserving a few strips for top of pate.
Drain game strips, reserving marinade. Beat marinade into stuffing. Divide
stuffing into three parts. Dip hands in cold water and arrange first third
of the stuffing in bottom of loaf pan. COver with half the strips of game.
Repeat layers, another third of stuffing and remaining half of game strips.
SPread remaining thrid of stuffing on top. Place bay leaf on top and cover
with remaining blanched bacon. COver top of pan with aluminum foil and set
in larger pan of boiling water (water should come about halfway up the
outside of loaf pan). Bake in oven preheated to 350 degrees for 1 1/2
hours. Remove loaf pan from water and place another loaf pan (preferably
glass so it’s heavy enough to weight down the pate) on top of foil-wrapped
pate. Cool pate at room temperature several hours or overnight. Chill,
still weighted. Serve in slices with crackers.NOTE: A “pinch” is about 1/8
ts.
