It is the same gas, whether coming from aerated drinks or lemonade, in common water coming from the lowest excavations.
In this aerated process the kneading is done by mixing the dougn in a great iron ball, inside of which is perpetually passing a system of peddles, a light nice looking dough is soon produced. This is caught in thus, and passed into the floor of the oven, which is an endless floor, when the loaves emerge from the other end of the apartment, when the aerated bread is done or made.
