150 U.S.P. units 750 U.S.P. units in May, 1944, the enrichment program was extended to include all white rolls and buns. In October, 1946, War Food Order No. 1 requiring enrichment of all white bread was rescinded and the Federal regulations were made optional. A number of states and sev¬ eral territories, however, require that all white flour and white bread must be en¬ riched. When breads are labeled "enriched,” it means they are white bread which, in addi¬ tion to the nutrients present in ordinary bread, has definite amounts of iron, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin added. Calcium and vitamin D may be added. The Federal standards for vitamin and mineral enrich¬ ment of bread and rolls are given in Table LXIV. SELECTED REFERENCES Austin, Gertrude. Enriched Bread.

A good pie is dependent, first of all, upon the quality of its crust or the pastry from which it is made. Pastry may be used for other dishes than pies, and a few pies are made from a rich biscuit dough instead of pastry. The various kinds of pies and some other pastries are dis¬ cussed in this chapter. PIES AND VARIATIONS A typical pie consists of one or two pie crusts with a filling. In a two-crust pie, the filling, usually fruit in a dessert pie, is placed between the crusts, and is baked. In a one-crust pie, the crust may be either on top or underneath the filling, and crust and filling may be baked together. One kind of one-crust pie is the custard-type, which has a plain custard or a variation of a custard, such as pumpkin, baked in a crust. Another kind of one-crust pie consists of a baked pie shell filled with a cooked cream or other filling, such as chocolate, butter¬ scotch, and chiffon. Such pies are called "soft pies.” The classification below shows the differ¬ ent kinds of pies. Classification of Pies I. One- Crust Pies 1. Cream pies (in baked shells) 2.
