Why do some bread recipes call for you to scald the milk?
What does it do? I've never scalded milk to make bread. How does it affect the bread?

To kill any harmful bacteria in the milk...I only do it when I make natural yeast leavened bread.

I figured as much. Some of the recipes are from before the time when milk was pasteurized. Does natural yeast leavened bread mean you catch wild yeast? -

These days, it is simply to warm the milk up so as not to chill the yeast. In the old days, it was to destroy any enzymes or bacteria that raw milk might contain.
