After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to understand
the background in baking by knowing its history.
Introduction:
What is Baking?
Baking is a form of cooking where you cook flour-based food under prolonged
heating. An oven is generally used to bake food but there are a few other
methods to bake food without an oven. Homestead Honey mentions a few ways
of baking without oven. I experimented the baking without oven by baking
cookies without oven.
Bread is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of baking.
However, cookies, cakes, muffins, and many other foods are also popular in
baking.
The world’s oldest oven, around 6500 years old, was discovered in Croatia in
2014. Bread baking began in Ancient Greece around 600 BC.
(Source Wikipedia)
Egyptians were pioneers in baking and the traces of their baking are as old as
2600 B.C. (Source Baking Times). Egyptians were the one who started baking
bread using yeast.
Baking was traditionally done at home by women, generally for the family.
Commercially, men used to bake in bakeries and restaurants. Baked goodies,
especially bread are one of the most important parts of our day to day food.
Human beings have been baking for ages. The history of baking is deep enough
to encourage you to start baking at home.
Advantages of Baking
Baking enhances the flavor and aroma of the food. For those who have been
baking at home, they know what I mean when I talk about the aroma of
baking. Baking can expand the possibilities of making food healthier. People
are moving from deep fried stuff to baked goodies.
Baking is no longer just all-purpose flour, white sugar and butter baked
together. Health conscious people have taken baking to a different level. People
now bake with millets, whole wheat flour, and multigrain flour. They avoid
The history of cakes dates back to ancient times. Initial cakes were way too
different from today’s exotic cakes. The cakes in olden times were more bread-
like with sugar or honey added to them. The word cake was derived from the
Old Norse word “kaka”. Oxford dictionary traces the word “cake” back to the
13th century.
Historian claims Europeans to have baked the first modern round cake with
icing on it. Cakes are made from various combinations of flour, butter,
shortening, eggs, sugar, honey, baking powder, and baking soda and flavoring
agents.

Learning Objectives:
Introduction:
In this information sheet, the learner will be able to find out and
recognize the different tools, utensils and equipment used in bakery product.
Bread is a staple product in the cuisine for countries all over the world.
France is a place that is widely acclaimed for its diverse cuisine. Some legends
say that Napoleon was the first to ask for baguettes to come in a long shape so
that his soldiers could keep them in their pockets easily.
1. Mixing Bowl
This is one of the most basic necessities that anybody should have if they want
to make bread. To mix your dough together, you need a special bowl or tub for
doing this.
2. Measuring Scale
Quality cuisine requires the right amount of ingredients. Bread and pastries
are especially this way. Imagine the great taste that comes with having the
perfect amount of each add-in so that your recipes come out perfect each time.
3. Bench Knife
A bench knife is a dull knife which is shaped like a rectangle. They are used
for a wide array of tasks in making bread and pastries. This includes spreading
butter, portioning out the mixture, leveling it out, and so on. There is an
endless number of techniques you can discover with this tool around.
7.Cooling Racks
A kitchen utensil that is used for placing cooked foods onto a surface that will
enable the food to be cooled on all sides after being baked, either food still in a
hot pan or food removed from a baking sheet or pan and placed directly onto
the rack..
8. Rolling Pin
A long cylindrical shaped kitchen utensil, generally used to roll out various
types of dough when making food items such as bread, pastries and cookies.
This tool also works well for crushing crackers and breadcrumbs. Rolling pins
are made from many types of material, such as wood, ceramic, marble,
porcelain, glass, brass and copper, but wood is the most popular. There are
also a variety of specialized pins used for making specific foods such as pasta.
9. Baking Pans
A flat pan with straight sides that are ¾” or taller, which is used for baking
food in the oven. There are many sizes and depths available, but the most
common sizes is 9 x 13 x 2 inches.
Designed for a variety of different sized pans and baking sheets, the Silicone
Baking Mat is made as a liner to keep baked goods from sticking to the surface
of pans, cookie sheets and counters. The Silicone Baking Mat is similar in use
to parchment paper, the sprinkling of flour or spraying cooking oils on surfaces
to keep foods from sticking.
Bakery Equipment
I. Bakery Ovens
Deck Oven
Artisan breads, such as baguettes, ciabatta, and
sourdough bread, are best made in deck ovens,
which are designed primarily for them. Deck ovens
are so named because they have a deck that is
usually made of stone or ceramic where the food
items are placed. Most deck ovens can have multiple
decks, allowing you to bake more items without
taking up too much floor space.
Deck ovens use two heating methods. The first is
conductive heat, which is transferred directly from

BAKERY PRODUCT
the deck to the dough. The second is radiant heat, which comes from the hot
air in the baking chamber and penetrates the dough to cook it further.
Rack Oven
Bakeries producing high volumes of breads, bagels,
and pastries use a rack oven, or a revolving oven,
which bakes food by revolving them around a central
shaft above a heating element typically situated at the
bottom of the baking chamber.
A rack oven has several shelves, around 8 to 12, that
are typically made of metal or stone where you can
load your items. These shelves are connected to a
central horizontal shaft. An external motor spins the
shaft, which, in turn, moves the shelves around, like
a Ferris wheel. The revolving motion of the shelves
creates uniform baking.
Rack ovens have very high outputs but do require
plenty of floor space in your kitchen. Since the first mechanical oven was
invented in the 19th century, rack ovens have evolved to incorporate modern
features that enhance the baking process, such as self-generating steam
systems and adjustable heating elements. Some models even have convection
systems that circulate pre-heated air into the cavity to further create even
baking.
Conveyor Oven
When you need to bake high volumes of the
same baked good in the least amount of time
and without the supervision of a trained chef,
you need conveyor ovens in your bakery.
Conveyor ovens cook baked goods that are
placed on conveyor belts, which move them

BAKERY PRODUCT
through the baking chamber. The oven then creates jets of hot air of similar
intensity and blows this air to the food. The force of the heated air allows it to
easily break the barrier of cold air around the uncooked food, thus leading to
faster cooking. And because the speed of the belt remains constant throughout
the baking process, all items come out of the chamber similarly cooked as
every other item.
Conveyor ovens are extremely easy to use. They have programmable controls
that take care of the time and speed settings for you. You only have to place
the items at the opening of the conveyor belt and wait for them to come out at
the other end.
Convection Oven
Convection ovens have fans that circulate pre-
heated air around the baking chamber. This
creates uniform heat distribution that
eliminates cold or hot spots. Food comes out
cooked evenly in a convection oven. The
inclusion of hot air circulating around the cavity
also speeds up the cooking time by as much as
30%.
The rapid cooking times, however, can be a
drawback if you’re baking items that need time
to rise. If the outside of a cake is cooked faster
than it is done rising, the cake could come up
with a bumpy, uneven texture on the inside.
Reach-In Refrigerator
Almost all commercial kitchens have at least
one reach-in refrigerator. This is a practical
and versatile piece of equipment that can
store a variety of items that need to be kept at
low temperatures. Bakeries need a
refrigerator for keeping things such as eggs,
fresh fruits, milk, butter, and other dairy
products cool and fresh.
Reach-in refrigerators are available in a range
of sizes to suit every kitchen’s specific storage
needs. The smallest units typically run 26”
wide with a single door opening up to a single
section while the largest models can span 87”
in width with up to three sections and three
Freezer
While refrigerators can hold temperatures around
33° F to 41° F, freezers can go a lot lower to
temperature ranges between -15° F to 0° F. This
makes them suitable for storing finished baked
goods that are prepared in advance and need to be
kept frozen.
Freezers are available in many configurations. The
most common type of freezer is the upright cabinet,
which is very similar to how the reach-in
refrigerator looks. Upright freezers have multiple
shelves that provide quick access to your frozen
items.
Worktop Refrigerator
Worktop refrigerators are another way to make the
most of the space you have if you have limited real
estate in your bakery’s kitchen. These are multi-
Blast Chiller
Blast chillers lower the temperature of baked
items at extremely quick rates. They work much
faster than freezers and can bring food
temperatures from 135° F down to 41° F in a
mere hour and a half. This allows you to cool
down baked goods quickly before storing them
in the refrigerator or freezer.
Blast chillers usually have three chill cycles. The
first is a soft chill designed for delicate products,
such as chiffon and sponge cakes. Hard chill is
used for bringing down the temperature of high-
volume food items using a cold blast of air
sweeping through the interior at high speeds.
This cycle is effective for freezing dense, heavy,
and fatty items, such as large chunks of meat
and vats of soups and stews.
The third cycle is shock freeze, which blows cold
air at temperatures of -40° F and below to freeze
food items in less than four hours. Shock freeze
is often used to stabilize the texture of ice
creams, sorbets, and gelatos while preventing
the formation of macro-crystals and air bubbles
to keep a smooth, creamy consistency.
Commercial Mixer
Commercial mixers are a must-have for bakeries.
You will need at least one heavy-duty planetary
mixer to prepare a multitude of food items, from
glossy icings and fluffy frostings to cake batters,
cookie doughs, and bread doughs.
Planetary mixers have a shaft to which an
agitator is attached. The agitator rotates around
a fixed mixing bowl, similar to how the planets
rotate around the sun, giving this piece of
equipment its name.
The versatility of planetary mixers lies in the
various agitators that you can attach to the
shaft. Most models come with three basic
attachments:
Dough Mixer
A dough mixer is a specialized type of food mixer
that is designed primarily to prepare dense, heavy
mixtures, such as bread and pizza doughs. Unlike
planetary mixers, dough mixers have a stationary
shaft and a moving bowl that goes around the
Dough Sheeter
Manual dough rolling uses up a lot of muscle
power and is expensive in terms of labor. Not
only that, there’s also the risk of having dough
coming out rolled into uneven thicknesses
and textures. A dough sheeter takes care of all
these problems as it creates smooth,
uniformly rolled dough within minutes.
Dough sheeters have rollers that flatten the
dough to the desired thickness. Some dough
sheeters are one-stage models, where the
dough is passed over a single roller for
flattening. Other units have two rollers to
provide a more thorough rolling. There are
also reversible dough sheeters, where you can
put the dough on a conveyor and move it
through a set of rollers back and forth until
you have achieved the desired thickness and
consistency.
Some dough sheeters let you adjust the thickness of the rolled dough by
widening or narrowing the gap between rollers. Other high-end models have
features that allow for automatic flour dusting to prevent sticky, wet doughs,
such as those used for ciabatta, from sticking to the rollers. Some even have
the option of providing cutting attachments that quickly cut the dough to your
desired shape, such as donuts, croissants, and themed cookies.
Dough sheeters are useful for making dough for pie crusts, flatbreads, and
croissants. You can also make cake fondant using a dough sheeter as it
eliminates all the kinks and folds that will inevitably show up on your finished
product. These work much, much faster than manual labor and opens up your
Dough Divider/Rounder
A dough divider is used to cut large volumes
of dough at a time, effectively reducing the
time you need to cut dough from half an hour
to a few minutes. Dough dividers have a large
press equipped with blades at the head of the
machine. You simply place a piece of
flattened dough on a reel plate that is
inserted under the head and push down a
hydraulic or mechanical lever that presses
the blades to the dough. This creates equally
cut small pieces of dough almost ready for
baking.
Most dough dividers come with a built-in
rounder that automatically forms the small
pieces of dough into little round shapes.
Specialty units can also turn them into
squares, hexagons, or other shapes. Generally, divider/rounder units work by
creating an oscillating motion that rapidly shapes the divided dough into small
balls. You can control the amount of pressure and length of time of rounding to
control the size of the rounded dough.
Proofing Cabinet
Breads, donuts, and croissants need to rise before
they are put in the oven for baking. For this
process, you’ll need proofing cabinets, which
create the ideal environment for yeast to thrive and
allow the dough to rise properly after it has been
worked into its final shape.
Yeast cells start to die off at 140°F and grow less
below 68° F. Proofing cabinets are designed to

BAKERY PRODUCT
maintain temperatures between 75° F to 85° F, which is ideal for allowing
dough to rise properly. They also often have a water pan or a steam injection
system, which is used to maintain a humidity level of 85%. The presence of
water vapor in the air delays the cooking of the crust so that the dough can
rise fully.
Bread Slicer
Bread slicers provide a fast, easy, and practical
way to cut loaves of bread into several slices in
a single swoop. Commercial slicers typically
have sharp blades spaced out at standard
dimensions. A lever on the side lets you lower
the blades to the loaf, cutting it into equal sizes
that can then be packed into a bread bag.
Bakery bread slicers can cut anywhere from a
few to several hundred loaves an hour. Some
units are equipped with bread baggers so you
can easily pack the sliced loaves into bags to
maintain their freshness. Bread slicers also
come with crumb trays that collect crumbs for
easy cleaning.
Food Processor
Food processors are essential for preparing
large quantities of ingredients, such as ground
meat and chopped vegetables for bread
stuffing or pureed fruits for pie and tart
fillings. With the right attachment, food
processors can perform practically any
preparation task, from making julienne cuts to
crimping, pulping, and even preparing small
batches of pie and pastry dough.
Baker’s Tables
You need strong and sturdy tables to
accomplish most of your baking tasks, from
hand-rolling, kneading, and cutting dough to
slicing, peeling, and chopping ingredients and
decorating your cakes, pastries, and other
baked goods.
Kitchen tables come with heavy-duty stainless
steel legs to hold up against daily use and
abuse. Most tables have stainless steel tops to
provide extra space for food prep work. Unlike
wood, which is prone to chips and scratches,
stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and
protects your food items from exposure to
rust. It has a smooth, polished surface that is
easy to clean and sanitize.
Tables may also double as storage space with
the addition of under-shelves, sliding drawers,
and nesting racks that allow you to save space when the tables are not in use.
You also have the option to use tables with lockable casters so you can easily
wheel them around the workspace. Some tables have back-splash guards that
protect the surrounding walls or equipment from food splatters.
Commercial Sinks
Bakeries need at least three sinks, one for
washing ingredients, a second for hand-
washing, and a third for cleaning pans,
bakeware, and small equipment.
Commercial sinks can have one or
multiple compartments. Small, one-
compartment or two-compartment sinks
are more suitable for food prep and hand-
washing. Three-compartment sinks
typically used for rinsing, washing, and
sanitizing bakeware.
Commercial sinks are normally made of
stainless steel, a strong and hygienic
material that is perfect for use inside the
kitchen. Look for 304 stainless steel,
which is corrosion-resistant and will not
rust as easily as other types of stainless
steel. Another thing to consider is the
thickness of the material.
Pan Liners
Pan liners are used to make it easier to release
items such as breads and cookies from the pan.
They also shorten cleaning time because they
eliminate the need for hard scrubbing to remove
grease from the pan.
Some pan liners are designed for the specific
pan size and shape, such as fluted loaf pan
liners for baking breads and coffee cakes.
However, the most commonly pan liner is
parchment paper, a heat-proof and grease-
resistant material that will not catch fire in the
oven.
Parchment paper is different from waxed paper.
The former is completely safe for oven use while
the latter has a thin layer of wax on both sides.
Wax is not oven-safe and will likely create smoke
that will wreck the flavor of your baked goods.
Bakery Boxes
Bakery boxes are used for to-go orders of cakes,
donuts, cupcakes, cookies, and all sorts of baked
products. These are available in all sizes, colors,
and themes and can be customized to include
your logo and brand colors. They can go as big as
to accommodate full sheet cakes of 18” x 26” and
as small as to contain only one cookie or
cupcake. If you’re offering full-size sheet cakes,
your boxes must come with cake boards for extra
stability to handle the bigger cakes.
IX. Bakeware
You will need baking pans, mixing bowls, measuring cups, and a varied
assortment of small kitchen tools to help you accomplish your baking tasks. A
commercial bakery kitchen is not complete without the following items:
Ice Machines
Serving drinks can help keep customers stay longer and spend more. If you’re
going to serve drinks, you will need ice makers for keeping your offerings cool
and refreshing. For quick-serve and self-serve operations, you need to invest in
an ice maker with a combined dispenser that allows staff or customers to get
ice simply by pulling a lever or pushing a button.
Also, consider the type of ice you want to serve. Full cube and half cube ice are
very common, but ice makers can also create other types of ice, such as nugget
ice, which has become a favorite among customers for its ability to retain the
flavor of whatever it is cooling.
Drink Dispensers
A drink dispenser is another useful piece of
equipment to enhance your front-of-house
service. This is used to dispense pre-made
drinks, such as lemonade or ice tea. A
refrigerated dispenser keeps your beverages
cool without diluting the flavor with ice.
Dispensers have a tank or several tanks to
contain drinks. The tank is often clear glass or
acrylic to let staff and customers know what’s
inside.
Panini Press
A panini press, also called a panini grill or a
sandwich press, is essential if you’re going to
serve sandwiches at your bakery. A key
consideration when looking for a panini press is
the plate material. Some plates are made of
lightweight aluminum for light to medium-duty
use. These heat up quickly and are more
affordable. However, cast iron plates are more
trustworthy when it comes to durability and
heating consistency. Although cast iron plates
are harder to clean and need a lot of
Countertop Griddle
A griddle is a flat cooking surface for cooking
eggs, pancakes, burger patties, or other flat
items to go with your baked goods. Having a
countertop griddle in your bakery can help you
accomplish cooking tasks that are otherwise
difficult to do using ovens, such as cooking
bacon for a bacon loaf or making sunny-side-
up eggs for a breakfast tart.
Most griddles have a stainless steel plate where
the food is cooked. A cooking surface with a
chrome plating improves heat retention and
prevents food from sticking, making it a breeze
during cleanup. Also, consider the thickness of
the plate. A griddle with a thicker plate heats
up more slowly but retains heat more easily
and produce more heating power for cooking a
large number of items. If you’re cooking more
delicate items, such as eggs, a thinner plate will more than suffice.
Dishwasher
Dishwashers are essential for ensuring that you are using clean, sanitized
pans, pots, dishes, utensils, and bakeware. Unlike home dishwashers, which
usually takes hours to complete a cycle, commercial dishwashers can clean a
batch of items in a super-fast cycle that takes only a few minutes. Bakeries
need tall, high-capacity dishwashers, such as door type and conveyor type
units, which can accommodate several full-size sheet pans in a single cycle.
Making quality bakery product are something that many people want to learn
how to do. With the right equipment, you can try out new recipes and make
your own bakery products at home.

Introduction:
In the last information sheet, the learner find out and recognize the
different ingredients used in bakery and apprehend its characteristics.
Eggs
Eggs, like flour, are important in baking
because they add structure and texture to
baked goods. Eggs are often used as a
binding agent. They hold a mixture
together so that it doesn't crumble or fall
apart after it is cooked.
Leavening Agents
The final ingredient necessary for a professional
bakery is some type of leavening agent such as
yeast, baking powder or baking soda. Adding any
of these ingredients to dough, according to your
recipe, will instigate the release of gas during the
baking process, which will lend a fluffy, light
texture to breads, muffins, cakes and cookies and
help them rise.
Yeast
Belongs to the fungi family. It ferments
carbohydrates(sugar) to produce carbon dioxide
gases and alcohol, which aerate bread and other
yeasted products, giving it volume and texture.
These by-products of yeast also contribute to the
color and aroma of bread and other yeasted
products.
Salt
Salt is usually only added in very small
amounts to baked products, but it has a
noticeable effect on the flavor of baked
products. It not only provides its own flavor but
brings out the natural flavor of the other
ingredients. In bread doughs, salt strengthens
gluten and improves the consistency of the
dough. Carbon dioxide given off by the yeast is
more easily trapped by the strengthened gluten,
which makes a better loaf of bread. Salt is also a
good preservative as it absorbs water so there is
less free water for bacterial and fungal growth.

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to know the
Basic Math used in baking.
Introduction:
You might not think math has much to do with cooking, but the truth is that
the better your math skills are, the better you’ll be in the kitchen. Just
consider the importance of math while you're trying to follow a recipe.
Converting Temperature
If you want to make more than one batch, you need bigger quantities of every
ingredient. Multiple each ingredient by the number of batches. For example, if
a recipe provides an ingredient list for six cookies but you want to make 12
cookies, you need to multiply all ingredients by two to make your larger
batch. That may involve multiplying fractions, for example if the recipe calls
for 2/3 cup of milk, and you need to double it, the formula is 2 x 2/3 = 4/3 =
1 and 1/3.
You often have to work out how long to cook something based on its weight,
such as a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. First, you may need to thaw that
turkey. If a turkey has to thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours per 5 pounds,
how long do you need to thaw a 10-pound turkey?
To work this out, you take the weight of the turkey and multiply it by the
time value you already have, i.e. 10 x 24. Next, you divide this figure (240) by
5 pounds. The answer (48) is the number of hours you have to thaw a 10-
pound turkey. To work out how long you have to cook something, the
formula is cooking time in minutes = 15 + ((mass in grams ÷ 500) x 25). For
example, if you have a chicken that weighs 2.8 kg, the calculation is 15 +
((2800 ÷ 500) x 25). The answer is 155 minutes, meaning you have to cook
the chicken for 2 hours and 35 minutes.
Divide the number 40 by 16 or the number of ounces in one pound. So, in the
example, 40 divided by 16 equals two and one half. The answer is five cups
weighs 2.5 pounds. Another way to look at the problem is that for every one
pound you must have two cups.
To calculate the cost of any item per pound, divide the cost of the item by its
weight in pounds: cost ÷ pounds = cost per pound.
To calculate the cost per pound, you need two things: the cost of the item in
question and the weight of the item in question. The weight has to be in
pounds, but if the weight isn't given in pounds, you can convert it. Here are
two of the common units of measure you might need to convert into pounds,
along with how to convert them:
When you have the cost of an item and its weight in pounds, you're ready to
calculate its cost per pound. All you have to do is divide the total cost of the
item by the number of pounds it weighs. So if your big bag of candy weighs 5
pounds and costs $13, you'd divide the cost by the weight in pounds:
What about the small bag of candy? Let's say it weighs 8 ounces and costs $4.
First, convert 8 ounces to pounds. Using the formula given above for ounces,
8 ÷ 16 = 0.5. So the small bag weighs 0.5 pounds. Now that you have the
small bag's weight in pounds, you can divide the cost by the weight in
pounds:

INTRODUCTION:
In the last information sheet, the basic math in baking are being
introduce in order for the learner to learn how to compute, convert
temperature, time and measure ingredients.
In this information sheet the learner will cognize the variety and
characteristic of a bakery products.
Breads
Doughnuts
Doughnuts provide a tasty snack and can be eaten for breakfast. Usually sweet
and deep fried, doughnuts come with a hole in the middle or as a solid piece
filled with items such as jelly, creams or custards. Doughnuts can be baked in
an oven instead of deep fried. Common doughnut toppings include powdered
sugar, glaze and caramel. The two main types of doughnuts include yeast and
cake. Yeast doughnuts are lighter and fluffier. Cake doughnuts tend to be
heavier. The majority of doughnuts have a round shape.
Crisp-crusted breads
Steam is essential for a good bread crust because it keeps the outer dough
moist while the inside cooks. Without steam protecting the dough, the crust
and inner crumb will cook too quickly, creating a burnt, dense bread with
little flexibility.
Steam is also essential to both the crunch and color of the crust. The
crispness of the dough is created by starch gel on its surface, which is
created in the dough when it's moist at 180°F and above.

INTRODUCTION:
There are many different flours, fats, liquids, and sweeteners that all function
in a different manner. Bread flour and cake flour are not the same, nor are
shortening and butter. Substitute one ingredient for another, and the results
will be completed different.
If you have a good understanding of ingredients, how they function and what
they do your baking experiences will be much more successful and consistent.
Wheat flour is the most popular flour that is used in baking. It comes in a
variety of different types. Wheat flour is the only flour that is capable of
producing gluten.
Gluten is the tough, rubbery substance created when wheat flour is mixed
with water. Gluten forms strands and is both plastic (Changing shape under
pressure), and elastic (Returning to original shape when pressure is removed).
Gluten is what is responsible for the texture, appearance, and volume of your
finished baking goods. It helps provide structure and helps contain gasses
within the dough given off by leavening agents. If there was no gluten, you
would not have raised bread.
The higher the protein count inside a flour determines how much gluten will
form when mixed into the dough.
Flour is categorized by “hard” flour and “soft” flour depending on the flours
hardness. The higher the protein content, the harder the flour kernel used to
produce the flour. These different flours are combined to produce what you see
in the stores today, such as pastry flour, all-purpose flour, and bread flour.
All-purpose flour is approximately 2/3 hard and 1/3 soft flour and is widely
used in home applications. It can be substituted in some recipes, but
professional bakeries and shops rarely use all-purpose. Instead, they opt to use
flours more suited to their needs.
Cake Flour (7-9.5%)
Pastry Flour (7.5-10%)
All-Purpose Flour (10-13%)
Bread Flour (12-15%)
Whole Wheat (13-14%)
High gluten (75-80%)
Pastry flour also has a low amount of protein content and is ideal for products
in which you do not want a high amount of gluten production. These include
biscuits and pie crusts
Bread flour is the hardest flour, having a high amount of protein and is ideal
for gluten creation for bread making, such as yeast bread. The high protein
content is also excellent and ideal for the creation of roux, as it provides better
thickening properties.
Whole wheat flour uses the entire kernel except the wheat germ. Whole wheat
products will be denser and have less volume then products made with white
flour.
Whole Wheat
Self-Rising
Nonwheat Flours
Nonwheat flour, also known as composite flours, are made from grains, beans
or seeds, corn, soybeans, rice, oats, buckwheat, potatoes, and other items.
These composite flours are ideal for those with a sensitivity to gluten or celiacs
who are unable to eat flour.
Knowing the appropriate type of flour, and those that are available to you will
help you produce baking goods you never thought you could. The secret to
proper baking is inconsistency in ingredients and amounts. Anyone can
produce excellent tasting bread and all they have to do is follow the directions
and apply the proper techniques.
Gluten
Leavening Agents
There are natural leaveners and chemical leaveners. Learn more in Quick
Bread.
Gases such as air or Co2 can be trapped by gluten and will expand during
cooking, producing leavening effect.
Starches will gelatinize once they reach a temperature of approx. 60C (140F)
and will absorb additional moisture up to 10 times their own weight and
expand. This contributes to the baked good’s structure/
Proteins coagulate once the dough or batter reaches 71C (160F) causing the
additional structure to be added to the baked good. Temperature control is
essential because if the temperature is too high the proteins will solidify before
the gasses have expanded, resulting in a product with poor volume and
Fats melting will release steam which will help leaven a product. Most pastry is
leavened this way. As the fats melt, the coat the protein tenderizing by keeping
the gluten strands short and providing flavor. The proper melting point of the
fat used is important.
Water evaporation causes steam which will leaven a product quickly and
efficiently. If too much steam is released, the product will become dry and form
a crust. Sometimes this is desirable, such as a baguette, and sometimes it
isn’t.
When learning how to bake you must choose the proper leavening type!
Chemical Leavening
There are certain mixing methods that are used to produce different batters
and doughs. Knowing these methods are important and many recipes will
assume you know the differences between them. After reviewing this article,
you will probably start to see some inconsistencies and fallacies in your search
for baking recipes. If you know that a certain method is required and the recipe
is erroneously calling for a different method, apply the method you know as
correct to ensure proper product. Many of these erroneous recipes are
fundamentally flawed and should be avoided as they usually make up for the
problems by overcompensating in other areas.
There are several mixing methods to know, and we will cover the basics while
expanding on others in further articles. These are:

Introduction:
Many people say that they cook, but they don't bake. Baking is a science and
can seem foreign or confusing and it definitely has a language all of its own. Use
this collection of short definitions as a quick reference to help you decode
recipes.
Baking Terms
Bake – Cook with dry, radiant heat in an oven.
Beat – Stir together very rapidly in order to incorporate air. This can be
achieved with a spoon, whisk, electric mixer, or food processor.
Cut In – Incorporating butter (or another solid fat) into flour just until the fat is
in small, granular pieces resembling coarse sand. This is achieved by using two
knives in a cross-cutting motion, forks, or a special pastry cutter.
Dust – Coat the surface of something with a light sprinkling of a dry substance
(flour, sugar, cocoa powder, etc.).
Grease – Coat the inside of a baking dish or pan with a fatty substance (oil,
butter, lard) to prevent sticking.
Knead – Combine dough by hand on a hard surface. This involves folding the
dough over, pressing down, turning 90 degrees and then repeating the process.
Kneading mixes the dough as well as developing gluten strands that give
strength to breads and other baked goods.
Rolling Boil – Water that boils with large, fast, and vigorous bubbles.
Softened – A solid, high-fat content substance that has been brought to room
temperature in order to make it more pliable.
Stiff Peaks – Egg whites or cream that has been whipped to the point at which
a peak will stand completely erect. To create a peak, pull the whisk or beater
straight up and out of the foam.
Whisk – A kitchen tool made of wire loops that tends to add air as it mixes
substances together.
1. Follow Recipe
Doughs and batters are made with flour, and flour contains gluten,
which becomes increasingly firm and elastic the more you stir it,
beat it, knead it, and so on. With a pizza dough you might want
that, but with pie dough, not so much.
The good news is that your recipe should offer you some sort of
guidance as to how much, how long, how intensely, to mix your
dough, so follow the recipe and understand how over-mixing can
effect gluten.
Be sure to use a light-colored pan. The reason for this is that dark-
colored pans absorb more heat than light-colored ones, which can
actually cause the bottoms of your cakes or cookies to burn. The
assumption is that recipes are written and tested for light-colored
pans. If dark-colored ones are all you have, you can lower the
temperature or play with the cooking time, but this violates rule #1,
so it might be better to invest in some new pans.
Again, the recipe will almost certainly specify this, so follow the
recipe. But if it doesn't specify, use unsalted butter. Not only does
the added salt affect the flavor, but salt also changes the way the
glutens in flour develop, which can affect the consistency of your
dough as well.
Recipes often remind you to do this, but when you're mixing batter
in a stand mixer, you're trying to mix the ingredients together as
thoroughly as possible, and this doesn't happen if significant parts
of the mixture, like butter, eggs, or sugar, are stuck to the sides of
the bowl. Fortunately, it's a simple matter to stop the mixer every 30
seconds or so and scrape the mixing bowl—as long as you
remember to do it.

Introduction:
Sanitation has always been important in bakeries and other food service
establishments. But now, the stakes are even higher.
When doors reopen, consumers and regulators will most likely demand
ever-higher sanitation standards.
Dirty kitchen utensils or surfaces that come into contact with food can
become major hazards. Cooking and baking professionals always have to be on
the lookout for cross-contamination, which can be dangerous to customers.
Carelessly using the same tools or cutting boards for different tasks without
cleaning them might lead to foodborne illness or an unexpected allergic
reaction.
In addition, any items that are left dirty might attract insects or rodents.
The last thing you want is pests making themselves at home in your bakery.
Thorough, regular cleaning is an essential line of defense against serious
health risks.
Refrigeration and freezing units are a top priority for sanitation efforts.
That starts with keeping cold storage at the right temperatures and covering
food before placing it inside. Strict first-in, first-out practices and labeling
procedures can head off many potential issues with improper handling or
spoilage.
For walk-in coolers and freezers, always switch off the lights when no one
is inside. You’ll save on your electricity bill and make it easier for the unit to
keep food at the necessary temperature. Employees should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for regularly cleaning out refrigerators and freezers
and dispose of any food that is no longer usable.
Developing skills in the baking and pastry arts is about more than
making fantastic breads, pastries and cakes. It’s also about learning how to
keep a business functioning at its best and meeting the demands of routine
maintenance and sanitation.

mash and producing the typical potato-bread flavour. It is now commonly
prepared from a white bread formula to which potato flour is added .
Sweet breads
Danish dough
Although various portion-size sweet goods are often called “Danish pastry,” the
name originally referred only to products made by a special roll-in procedure,
in which yeast-leavened dough sheets are interleaved with layers of butter and
the layers are reduced in thickness, then folded and resheeted to obtain many
thin layers of alternating shortening and dough. Danish doughs ordinarily
receive little fermentation. Before the fat is rolled in, there is a period of 20 to
30 minutes in the refrigerator, allowing gas and flavour to develop. Proof time,
fermentation of the piece in its final shape, is usually only 20 to 30 minutes, at
lower temperatures. When properly made, these doughs yield flaky baked
products, rich in shortening, with glossy crusts.
Dough preparation
The sponge-and-dough method
The mixed sponge is dumped into a trough, a shallow rectangular metal tank
on wheels, and placed in an area of controlled temperature and humidity (e.g.,
27 °C [80 °F] and 75 percent relative humidity), where it is fermented until it

begins to decline in volume. The time required for this process, called the drop
or break, depends on such variables as temperature, type of flour, amount of
yeast, absorption, and amount of malt, which are frequently adjusted to
produce a drop in about three to five hours.
At the second, or dough, stage, the sponge is returned to the mixer, and the
remaining ingredients are added. The dough is developed to an optimum
consistency, then either returned to the fermentation room or allowed “floor
time” for further maturation.
(1) a saving in the amount of yeast (about 20 percent less is required than for a
straight dough),
The sponge method, however, involves extra handling of the dough, additional
weighing and measuring, and a second mixing and thus has the disadvantage
of increasing labour, equipment, and power costs.
The straight-dough method
Makeup
After the mass of dough has completed fermentation (and has been remixed if
the sponge-and-dough process is employed), it is processed by a series of
devices loosely classified as makeup equipment. In the manufacture of pan
bread, makeup equipment includes the divider, the rounder, the intermediate
proofer, the molder, and the panner.
Dividing
The filled trough containing remixed dough is moved to the divider area or to
the floor above the divider. The dough is dropped into the divider hopper,
which cuts it into loaf-size pieces. Two methods are employed. In
the volumetric method, the dough is forced into pockets of a known volume.
The pocket contents are cut off from the main dough mass and then ejected
onto a conveyor leading to the rounder. When density is kept constant, weight
and volume of the dough pieces are roughly the same. In the weight-based
method, a cylindrical rope of dough is continuously extruded through an orifice
at a fixed rate and is cut off by a knife-edged rotor at fixed intervals. Since the
dough is of consistent density, the cut pieces are of uniform weight. Like the
pocket-cut pieces, the cylindrical pieces are conveyed to the rounder.
Rounding
Dough pieces leaving the divider are irregular in shape, with sticky cut
surfaces from which the gas can readily diffuse. Their gluten structure is
somewhat disoriented and unsuitable for molding. The rounder closes these
cut surfaces, giving each dough piece a smooth and dry exterior; forms a
relatively thick and continuous skin around the dough piece, reorienting the
gluten structure; and shapes the dough into a ball for easier handling in
subsequent steps. It performs these functions by rolling the well-floured dough
piece around the surface of a drum or cone, moving it upward or downward
along this surface by means of a spiral track. As a result of this action, the
surface is dried both by the even distribution of dusting flour and by
dehydration resulting from exposure to air; the gas cells near the surface of the
ball are collapsed, forming a thick layer inhibiting the diffusion of gases from
the dough; and the dough piece assumes an approximately spherical shape.
Intermediate proofing
Many steps in conventional dough preparation and makeup have been fully
automated, but none of the processes is truly continuous. In continuous
systems, the dough is handled without interruption from the time the
ingredients are mixed until it is deposited in the pan. The initial fermentation
process is still essentially a batch procedure, but in the continuous bread-
making line the traditional sponge is replaced by a liquid pre-ferment, called
the broth or brew. The brew consists of a mixture of water, yeast, sugar, and
portions of the flour and other ingredients, fermented for a few hours before
being mixed into the dough.
After the brew has finished fermenting, it is fed along with the dry ingredients
into a mixing device, which mixes all ingredients into a homogeneous mass.
The batterlike material passes through a dough pump regulating the flow and
delivering the mixture to a developing apparatus, where kneading work is
applied. The developer is the key equipment in the continuous line. Processing
about 50 kilograms (100 pounds) each 90 seconds, it changes the batter from a
fluid mass having no organized structure, little extensibility, and inadequate
gas retention to a smooth, elastic, film-forming dough. The dough then moves
out of the developer into a metering device that constantly extrudes the dough
and intermittently severs a loaf-size piece, which falls into a pan passing
beneath.
Although ingredients are generally the same as those used in batch processes,
closer control and more rigid specifications are necessary in continuous
processing in order to assure the satisfactory operation of each unit. Changes
in conditions cannot readily be made to compensate for changes occurring in
ingredient properties. Oxidizers, such as bromate and iodate, are added
routinely to compensate for the smaller amount of oxygen brought into the
dough during mixing.
