Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Eggs
Egg yolks enrich the batter and whipped whites lighten its structure as it bakes.
Brown rice flour
Forms the main structure of the bread in place of wheat flour.
Baking powder
Releases gas in the batter, helping the loaf rise in the oven.
Baking soda
Reacts with the acid in the cream of tartar to add lift to the batter.
Cream of tartar
Acidic ingredient that works with the baking soda to help the bread rise.
Potatoes
Adds moisture and softness to the crumb.

The step that matters

Fold in the egg whites. Whites beaten only to soft peaks must be folded gently so the air is kept in the batter. Overmixing knocks out air, which leads to a denser loaf with less rise.

Swap the potato

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (butter, sugar, egg, rice, flour, cream, milk):

  1. Leekfits about as well
  2. Potatothe original
  3. Asparagusfits about as well
  4. Sweet potatofits about as well

Fit is the average pairing score against butter, sugar, egg, rice, flour, cream, milk. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
