Use butter or margarine for delicate, rich breads with beautiful crusts
(sticks of butter have the increments measured on the side for exact portioning), crois-
sants, and sweet breads. Use vegetable oil such as sunflower, canola, corn, or safflower
for hearty, whole-grain breads; good olive oil for Italian or low-cholesterol breads;
peanut and sesame oils for Oriental breads; lard (which is surprisingly less saturated
than butter) for ethnic breads; and nut oils, such as hazelnut, walnut, pecan, and pista-
chio for artisan and sweet breads.
Cut the butter into pieces before placing it in the bread pan; the mix-
ing action will incorporate it evenly. Avoid low-fat margarine unless called for; it ends
up more a liquid than a fat addition and throws off a recipe. To substitute oil for butter
in a recipe, reduce the amount of liquid by 1 tablespoon to balance the recipe.
The best omega-3 oils for optimum health include olive oil, walnut
oil, canola oil, and flax seed oil. Saturated fats include cheese along with butter (the
animal fats). Monosaturated fats that are still good for you include olives, peanuts, and
avocados.
