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

What each ingredient does

Bread flour

Provides the gluten network that gives the loaf its structure and chew.

Yeast

Produces carbon dioxide that makes the dough rise and become airy.

Honey

Adds sweetness and moisture, and helps the crust brown.

Dry milk

Adds milk solids that enrich flavour and help browning.

Oil

Adds fat that softens the crumb and keeps the loaf moist.
