Techniques in Measuring
FLOURS
1. Sifted Flour
Sift the flour once, then spoon lightly into the measuring cup
until flour overflows. Do not shake the cup while or after
measuring. Level the flour with a spatula or the straight edge of
a knife.
6. 2. Unsifted Flour
Spoon the flour into the measuring cup until it overflows. Do
not shake the cup. Level it with spatula or the straight edge of a
knife.
3. Cornmeal flour and similar products
Stir the flour lightly first with a fork. Then, measure using
the same procedure in measuring unsifted flour.
7. Fats and Oil
1. Shortening, Margarine, and Butter
a. For the standard cup or a fraction of a cup such as ½, ⅓, or ¼ ,
simply press the shortening, margarine, lor butter into the cup
using spoon. Press continuosly until all spaces of the cup had
been filled up. Then, level with a spatula or the straight edge of a
knife.
b. Use tablespoon for a fraction of a cup (4 tablespoons for ¼ cup; 2
tablespoons for ⅛ cup). Follow the same procedure for standard
cup.
8. C. For easy measurement of butter, one bar of butter (220 grams) is
approximately one cup. If you need a fraction of a cup, simply divide
the bar as required. For ½ cup, divide the bar into 2 equal parts (each
part is ½ cup); or ⅓ cup, divide the bar into equalsb (each part is ¼
cup), and so on.
2. Liquid Fat or Oil
Pour the oil or liquid fat into the glass measuring cup until it
reaches the measuring mark. See to it that the glass measuring cups
stands on a levelled surface.
9. Dry and Liquid Milk
1. Dry or Powdered Milk
Spoon the powdered mik into the measuring cup until it fills the cup
to overflowing. Level with a spatula or the straight edge of a knife.
Do not shake the cup while of after filling. Use the same procedure
using standard tablespoons, as required.
2. Liquid Milk
Pour the milk into the glass measuring cup until it reaches the
measuring mark. See it that the glass measuring cup stands on a
levelled surface.
10. Sugar
1. White sugar
Remove lumps, if any. Then, spoon the sugar into the
measuring cup until it overflows. Level with a spatula or the
straight edge of a knife.
2. Brown sugar
Remove or break up lumps, if any. Then, pack the sugar into
the cup using the back of a spoon to fill up all empty spaces.
Press the sugar firmly so it keeps the shape of the cup when
removed.
11. Powdered Ingredients Required in Small Quantities
This includes baking powder, baking soda, fine salt, yeast in
granules, powedered cinnamon, and similar products.
1. To measure tablespoon, fill up to overflow, then level with
spatula or the straight edge of a knife.
2. To measure the division of a tablespoon, or teaspoon, fill up
one teaspoon, fill up one tablespoon or one teaspoon with the
powder. Level with the straight edge of a knife.
12. a. For ½ tablespoon or ½ teaspoon, divide the powder
lengthwise in the spoon with a knife and push half of
the powder into the containers.
b. For ¾ tablespoon or ¾ teaspoon, divide the spoonful
into quarters, or 4 parts. Push one quarter or one part
into the container.
13. BAKING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
For Measuring
Set of measuring spoon
In the U.S., measuring spoons often come in sets, usually between four
and six. This usually includes ¼, ½, and 1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon.[1]
The volume of a traditional US teaspoon is 4.9 ml and that of a tablespoon
is 14.8 ml, only slightly less than standard metric measuring spoons.
29. TYPES OF OVEN
1. Portable Glass Front Oven
Portable Glass-front oven. this is the most widely used type for baking
small pizza. Gas or electric range.
30. 2. Gas or Electric Range
Electric stoves tend to heat up faster and have a narrow edge over gas when it
comes to baking. Electric stoves also tend to be better at broiling and
maintaining a consistent low simmer.
31. 3. Wonder Oven
Wonder Oven (also called a Wonder Box, Hot Box or back in
pioneer times a “Hay Box”) is a set of pillows, a larger pillow for the
bottom and a smaller pillow to fit on top, which are filled with
Styrofoam beads. These pillows are used to retain temperature for a
long period of time.
32.
33. 4. Turbo Broiler
Turbo broilers are gaining in popularity with many home cooks.
These portable convection ovens include a large glass pot and a fan
in the lid. The fan blows heated air throughout the oven, resulting
in even and efficient cooking. The turbo broiler is, thus, an easy way
to prepare meat.

35. BAKING INGREDIENTS
Flour
Flour is a powder made by grinding raw grains, roots, beans,
nuts, or seeds. Flours are used to make many different foods.
Cereal flour, particularly wheat flour, is the main ingredient of
bread, which is a staple food for many cultures.
36. There are four kinds of flour:
1. Whole-wheat flour- also called or entire-wheat flour. It contains
the compact of wheat kernel in its original proportion.
2. Bread flour- also known as strong or hard flour; it has 12-14%
gluten content. This type of flour is ideal for making breads,rolls, and
other sweet yeast-raised products.
3. All purpose of flour- widely known as general flour or a pastry; It
contains 10-11% gluten content. It is a combination of bread and cake
flour.
It is requires more kneading to develop gluten.
37. 4. Cake flour- Also refers to soft flour; it has 7-9% gluten content. It is deal for
cakes, cookies, and pastries. This flour has a velvety and smooth texture, is
whiter than bread flour and all purpose flour, and tends to hold shape when
lumped together.
Other forms of flour:
1. Enriched Flour- Is composed of white flour and specified amounts of
nutrients that are required by law.
2. Self-rising flour- This type of flour is convenient for those who wish to
prepare products that use baking powder.
3. Quick-mixing flour- It is a white flour that has been moistened then
re-dried. When used, it does not lump or pack,and blends smoothly with
liquid ingredients.
38. 4. Non-wheat flour- refers to the group that causes root crops and
legumes instead of wheat.
SUGAR
This is a sweet, crystalline, soluble compound that comes from the
processing of sugarcane and sugar beets. It is available in the market
in different forms:
39. 1. Brown sugar
Comes in different shades of brown depending on how well it has been
processed.
2. White, granulated sugar- is commonly used by bakers in
practically all baked products and in preparing varieties of icing,
fillings, etc
3. Confectioner’s sugar- is the finest in texture compared with brown
or white sugar. It contains 3% cornstarch. This prevents lumping or
crystallization of the sugar granules. This type of sugar is used mostly
for icing and in cake mixes where a blending of flour and sugar is used
mostly for icing and in cake mixes where a blending of flour and sugar
is done and then added in the final stages of mixing.
40. Other Types of sugar:
1. Panutsa- A solid mass of crude sugar usually in half coco shell
shape.
2. Lump sugar- Cube-shaped when sold in markets. It is white
and porous
3. Molasses- unrefined sugar that is liquid in form, black in color,
and very thick in consistency.
43. LEAVENING AGENTS
These are the substances that produce gas while mixing or heating
the dough or the batter. When gas is produced, the product
increases its volume and becomes light and porous.
Liquid Ingredients
Liquid ingredients include water, milk or cream, and fruits juices.
In baking, it is added to flour to develop the gluten. Too much
water weakens and tends to spread the gluten. The correct amount
of water to be used depends partly on the type of flour.
44. FATS AND OILS
1. Butter- It is ripened cream of milk. It contains 80% butterfat.
Butterfat is separated from buttermilk by churning.
2. Butter Compounds- It is made by mixing 40% melted fat,
and the rest coming from vegetable oil such as coconut oil,
peanut oil, cottonseed oil.
3. Margarine- Is fat emulsified with culture milk. It contains
about 80% fat and about 16% water.
4. Hydrogenated Fat- This made from deodorized vegetable oil
such as coconut,corn, soybeans, cottonseed oil. These fats are
processed by passing hydrogen in a tank under pressure with a
nickel catalyst.
45. 5. Hog Fat or Lard- it comes from the back or the sides of hogs
and it is solid at room temperature.
6. Vegetable Oils- are liquid fats used in cakes and breads. They
are not popular to use as a shortening since they do not have good,
creamy characteristics and do not contribute much to the volume
and texture of the product.
46. EGGS
Eggs contribute a lot to baked product. It acts as a leavener, gives
color, richness, flavor, and nutritive value to breads and pastries.
Using good quality eggs provides a better flavored product.
47. Other Ingredients
1. Salt- also known as sodium chloride. It is used to bring
out the flavor of an otherwise bland, too sweet, or too sour
taste.
2. Spices or seeds- are used in baking mainly due to aroma
and flavor they impart to the baked products.
3. Flavoring- Flavor extracts, whether synthetic or natural,
are widely used in cakes, pastries, breads and pies.
