Food to Food Contamination
 - When harmful organisms from one food contaminate
other foods. (raw meats, thawing meat on top of the
shelf where it can drip on the other foods)
Preventing food to food
contamination
 Store cooked foods that will not be cooked in the
refrigerator on a higher shelf than raw foods.
 Best to practice mix left over foods with fresh foods
 Wash fruits & veg, in a cold running water
 Do not let raw meat and raw vegetables be prepared on
the same surface at the same time
Equipment to Food Contamination

 Use separate cutting boards for different foods (meat-
veg)
 Prepare raw foods in separate area from fresh and
ready to eat foods
 Clean & sanitize equipment, work surfaces & utensils
after preparing each foods
 Use specific containers for various food products.
 Make sure cloth and paper towel use for wiping spills
are not used for any other purposes
Time Temperature Abuse
 TIME TEMPERATURE ABUSE – happens when the
food is exposed to Temperature Danger Zone (41⁰F -
140⁰F) for more than 4 hrs.
Time Temperature Abuse occur
when:
 Food is not stored, prepared or held at a required
temperature
 Food is not cooked or reheated to temperature high
enough to kill harmful microorganisms
 Food is not cooled low enough fast
 Food is prepared in advance and not set to a safe
required internal temperature while the food is on
hold
Preventing Time Temp. Abuse
 Never expose the food to Temperature danger zone:
41°F - 140°F
 Not to exceed 4 hours, except cool-down
 Document temperatures & time
 Includes receiving, storage, preparation, holding,
serving, cooling, and reheating
 Pass food through danger zone quickly

using precautionary methods in
the kitchen to prevent an
accident. Most accidents in the
kitchen are due to carelessness.
Basic Rules of Kitchen
Safety
1.Wear appropriate ,clean
clothing on the lab days
2. Never cook in loose clothes and keep
long hair tied back. You don’t want
anything accidentally catching fire.
3. Store knives in a wooden block
or in a drawer.
4. Keep potholders nearby and
use them!
5. Don’t let temperature-sensitive
foods sit out in the kitchen.
6. Separate raw meat and poultry from other
items whenever you use or store them.
7. When possible use a kitchen tool,
not your hands to complete tasks.
8. Wipe up spills
immediately. Keep the floor dry
so that no one slips and falls.
9. Get a fire extinguisher and
First Aid Kit for your kitchen
Sanitation in food
Preparation
SANITATION is the
process of handling food
in ways that are clean and
healthy.
1. Wash your hands before handling
food and after handling meat or
poultry.
2. Repeatedly
wash your hands
when necessary –
especially after
coughing,
sneezing or using
the restroom.
3. Wash dishes, pans and utensils as
you use them, allowing them to dry on
the drain board when possible.
4. When tasting foods, use a spoon
other than the one used for stirring .
Use a clean spoon for each person
tasting and for each time food tasted.
5. Proper garbage disposal
EIGHT
LEADING CAUSES
OF FOODBORNE
ILLNESS.
 1) Cross-
contamination
between raw and
cooked and/or
ready-to-eat foods.
It generally results
from poor personal
hygiene (worker’s
hands), or from
using unsanitized
equipment
2) Inadequate re-heating of
potentially hazardous foods.
All leftovers intended must be
re-heated to 165 oF within a
2-hour period
 3)Foods left in the
temperature danger
zone (TDZ) too long.
Time in the TDZ is
cumulative. After 4
hours the potentially
hazardous foods must
be discarded
4) Raw,
contaminated
ingredients
used without
further cooking.
5) Foods prepared
too far in advance.
This is generally
coupled with
holding food in the
TDZ too long
6)Infected food
handlers and poor
work habits.
7) Failure
to properly
heat or cook
food
8) Failure to properly
cool food, poor cooling
practices result in
potentially hazardous
foods being held in the
TDZ for long periods of
time
Time to learn
how to
FIGHT BAC !
CLEAN: Wash hands and surfaces often.
SEPARATE: Don’t cross contaminate

Sarah R. Labensky, Priscilla Martel and
Eddy Van Damme
Birth of the Bakeshop and Restaurant
• Bread making in rustic stone ovens dates back to the
Neolithic period (4000 B.C.E.).
• Egyptians discovered the effect of wild yeast to leaven
bread; by the first millennia B.C.E., more than 70 kinds
of bread were documented there.
• Bread making and confectionery were among the first
labor activities organized into specialized trades.
 Historians credit ancient Greeks with spreading the
professions throughout the Mediterranean region.
Refined Sugar and the
Art of Confectionery
 The appetite for sweet foods is the only universal taste
preference.
 Historians assume that for much of history, fruits and
honey were the primary sweeteners.
 The process of extracting sugar from sugar cane spread
throughout the Mediterranean region during the 13th
through 15th centuries.
 Columbus carried sugarcane to islands in the
Caribbean.
 Sugar beets are another source of refined sugar.
Bakery Guilds and the First Restaurant
 The European guild system organized the sale and
production of goods to ensure consistent products.
 Early guilds existed for the pâtissier (who cooked poultry, pies and
tarts) and the tamisiers (who baked breads).
 The first restaurant where food was prepared and on
premises and served opened by Monsieur Boulanger in
Paris in 1765.
 Following the first restaurants, pivotal figures in the industry from
its inception to the mid- 20th century are examined:
 Antonin Carême

Principles of Baking
Principles of Baking
 This chapter introduces the student to the
scientific basis for what takes place in the
bakeshop.
 Concepts and vocabulary presented here are used
and expanded upon throughout the text.
 Understanding the science of mixing fat, flour and
water to make a finished product makes for a well-
rounded professional.
Mixing
Once ingredients are measured, they must be MIXED
Mixing accomplishes:
 Even distribution of ingredients
 Breakdown of fats and liquids, causing them to
emulsify
 Activation of the proteins in wheat flour causing
formation of gluten
 Incorporation of air (aeration) into dough.
Mixing
Importance of Moisture
 Moisture dissolves ingredients, helps hydrate and
activates compounds in dough
 Doughs have low water content.
 Yeast bread dough, cookie dough, pie dough.
 Batters generally contain more liquids, fat and sugar
than doughs.
 cake batter, muffin batter and pancake batter.
Heat Transfer
 Conduction - movement of heat from one item to
another through direct contact.
 Pan placed over burner
 Convection - transfer of heat through a fluid, which
may be liquid or gas.
 Hot air circulating in oven
Heat Transfer (cont.)
 Radiation - transfer of heat through waves that move
from the heat source to the food.
 Infrared cooking
 Microwave ovens
Baking and Cooking Methods
 Dry-heat cooking uses air or fat and is the principal
method to cook:
 batter
 dough
 Moist heat uses water or steam for cooking:
 fruits
 tenderizing foods
 reducing liquids
Cooking Methods
The Baking Process
 Batters and dough pass through 9 stages during
the baking process:
 Gasses form
 Gasses are trapped
 Starches gelatinize
 Proteins coagulate
 Fats melt
 Water evaporates
 Sugars caramelize
 Carryover baking
 Staling
What is Flavor and Taste?
 Flavor - combination of the tastes, aromas and other
sensations in the mouth.
 The five primary Tastes are:
 Sweet
 Sour
 Salty
 Bitter
 Umami
Science of Taste
 Chewing releases flavor compounds in food
 Taste buds on the tongue detect taste and flavor
compounds
 Aromas and odor compounds reach olfactory bulb
through internal and external nostrils
Effects on Flavor Perception
 TEMPERATURE. Foods at warm temperatures offer
the strongest tastes.
 CONSISTENCY of the product
 PRESENCE OF CONTRASTING TASTES
 PRESENCE OF FATS
 COLOR
Compromises to Taste
Perception
 Sense of taste can be challenged by factor’s beyond
one’s control.
 Age
 Health
 Smoking
1. A disease carried or transmitted to people by food.

ELECTRIC HAND MIXER
An electric hand mixer assists in mixing
together ingredients for cookie, cake
and bread dough. You can also use this
handheld appliance to whip egg whites
or mashed potatoes. Handheld electric
mixers come with attachments like wire
beaters or whisks that you insert into
the bottom of the mixer. After plugging
in your hand mixer, you choose a speed
setting, turn on the appliance and mix
together ingredients in a bowl.
ELECTRIC
STAND MIXER
BAKERS’ SCALES BALANCE
It is used for weighing
quantities of dry and wet
ingredients. Available in
household or commercial scale
and in different capacities.
Practical for portion control
and absolute portion-control
yield.
DOUGH CUTTER OR BENCH
SCRAPER
This is made of either metal or plastic. It is
rectangular piece used to either divide dough
into equal portions or to just simply scrape off
excess dough from the bench(kneading
Surface).
Whisks
used to whisk or stir wet or dry
ingredients together, beating
egg whites or cream, stirring
ingredients as they heat in a
saucepan and folding
ingredients together. Whisks
come in various sizes and
strength of wire.
Measuring Spoons
Measuring spoons are used
for measuring small
amounts of ingredients such
as spices, leaveners, and
extracts, and very small
amounts of liquids.
MEASURING CUPS
Basic dry measuring cups are purchased in a set
that includes 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1
cup. Larger measuring cup sets may also
include 1/8 cup, 2/3 cup, 3/4 cup and 1½ cup
measures. A dry measuring cup does not have a
pouring spout; instead they should have a
straight edge to allow for easy leveling. Dry
measuring cups are used to measure all dry
ingredients such as flour, sugar, and oats,
also for semisolid ingredients such as jam,
shortening, sour cream, and peanut butter.
Liquid Measuring
Cups/Measuring Glass
All liquid ingredients, such as water, milk, or juice are
measured in a liquid measuring cup. Liquid measuring
cups should be made of clear glass or plastic, have a pouring
spout, and have clear measurement markings on the side. It
is handy to have a 1 cup measure, along with a 2 cup and 4
cup measure for most baking projects. Liquid measuring
cups are also handy for warming milk or melting butter in
the microwave. To accurately measure, place the measuring
cup on a flat surface and pour the liquid in up to the marking
for the amount you need. Let the liquid stop swishing around
to determine the level it is at.
Pastry Blender
A pastry blender, also known as a dough
blender, is used to cut butter or other
fat into dry ingredients, such as when
making piecrust, scones, or biscuits. A
pastry blender has stainless steel wires
shaped into a half-moon, with a stainless
or wooden handle for gripping. In place of
a pastry blender, two kitchen knives also
work well for cutting the ingredients
together.
PASTRY BRUSH
used to brush liquid type ingredients onto
pastries or breads. For example use a pastry brush
to brush butter onto a hot loaf of bread, or an egg
wash onto bagels, or milk onto a pie crust, or to
wash down the sides of a saucepan when melting
and caramelizing sugar. A pastry brush is even
helpful for brushing excess flour from dough
during rolling, and brushing up spilled flour on the
kitchen counter.
ROLLING PIN
Helps flatten or spread dough to a
uniform thickness before cutting
and baking.it also help knead and
flatten lumps of dough.
RUBBER SPATULA
Spatulas have many uses including scraping
batters down from the sides and bottom of a
mixing bowl, spreading fillings, stirring
stovetop custards and chocolate while heating,
folding lighter ingredients into heavy batters,
scrambling eggs, and more.
Spatulas come in a variety of sizes and may be made
of a solid piece of silicone or have a silicone blade
attached to a wooden, plastic or stainless steel
handle. A small 1 inch spatula is handy for scraping
out the inside of measuring cups and containers. A 2
inch spatula is good for stirring, blending, and
scraping the sides and bottom of a mixing bowl. A
larger 3 inch spatula is best for folding ingredients
together.
Wooden Spoons
Wooden spoons are strong
and durable, withstand heat,
won’t scratch nonstick pans,
and perfect for stirring
almost anything,
including hot liquids on
the stovetop.
Sifter/SIEVE
This is bowl-shaped, made
of fine mesh, and has a long
handle. It is used for sifting
flour, dusting cakes with
powdered sugar or cocoa
powder, and in straining
liquids from solids.
DOUBLE BOILER
A Double Boiler consists of two
pans that nest together. The top
pan hold the food to be
melted (like chocolate), the
bottom pan holds and inch or
two of water, which is heated
to a simmer. The heat from the
boiling water gently melts the
chocolate in the upper pan.
SAUCEPANS
A cooking utensil that is round in
shape with high, straight sides
and a longer handle. Equipped
with a tight fitting cover, the
saucepan can range in sizes to
hold contents for one pint or in
sizes up to four quarts. They are
made of materials such as
stainless steel, copper, anodized
aluminum, glass, and enameled
steel or cast iron. A saucepan has
many uses, including preparation
processes such as boiling water,
for making sauces and soups, or
for braising foods.
SKILLET A frying pan, frypan, or skillet is
a flat-bottomed pan used for
frying, searing, and browning
foods. It is typically 200 to 300
mm (8 to 12 in) in diameter with
relatively low sides that flare
outwards, a long handle, and no
lid
COOKIE AND BAKING
SHEETS
Cookie sheets are rimless, flat metal
sheets, perfectly designed for placing
rows of cookies. They normally have a
small rim on the short sides for easy
gripping. The long flat edges allow you
to slide cookies off the sheet after
baking
JELLY ROLL PANS
Jelly Roll pans are the same as a baking sheet.
They have a raised edge all around, usually ½
to 1 inch high. The most all-purpose size to
have is a 12½ x 17½ by 1 inch Jelly Roll Pan. Jelly
roll pans are most often used to make bar
cookies, shortbread, sponge cakes, sheet
cakes, focaccia breads, and more. A jelly
roll pan is also good to place under a fruit
pie as it is baking to catch overflowing
juices, and to hold springform and tart
pans with removable bottoms while
baking.
LOAF PANS
Loaf pans are used for most quick bread
recipes, such as banana bread and
zucchini bread. Metal, stone, glass, and
ceramic loaf pans all work well for quick
breads. Loaf pans can also be used for yeast
breads. The most useful sizes are a 9¼ x 5¼ x
2½ inch loaf pans for larger loaves and 8½ x
4½ x 2½ inch loaf pans for smaller loaves.
Darker loaf pans are good for crusty yeast
breads; however light aluminum is best for
sweet and quick breads so they don’t over-
darken.
MUFFIN PANS AND
BAKING CUPS
Muffin pans are a rectangular metal
baking pan with six or twelve cup,
used to bake both muffins and
cupcakes. Muffin pan sizes are
typically mini, standard, and jumbo
sized. Each cup is normally lined
with paper baking cups, and then
filled with muffin or cake batter.
Muffin pans can also be used to
bake dinner rolls or individual
brownies.
Tube Pans
The tube is used to conduct heat
through the center of a cake,
ensuring that the cake bakes
evenly. Tube pans come in a
variety of shapes and sizes.
BAKEWARE PANS
ROUND
PAN
CAKE TESTER
This is a stainless steel wire which is
inserted in the batter/ dough while it is
being baked in the oven. This is inserted to
test if the cake/bread is already done. If the
tester, after it has been inserted, comes out
clean, then the product is baked enough
already.
KITCHEN TIMER
This will help you perform different
task at the same time; thus, it lets
you maximize your time. It usually
comes in one-hour range. Some are
manual form(winding) while the
others are in digital form(battery
operated)
OVEN
The most important equipment in
your kitchen or bakery is the oven,
available in gas fired, electric,
microwave or convection variety.
Commercial models come in deck
or stack-up design reel or with
rotating shelves.
An enclosed space where
food is cooked by being surrounded
by hot air.
BAKER’S PEEL or TRANSFER PEEL
is a flat wooden metal shovel
used to slide breads and pizza
onto the floor of the deck oven.
Offset Spatula
An offset spatula has a long, narrow,
flexible stainless steel blade that allows
easy frosting of cakes. You can easily
spread frosting or whipped cream
around the sides of the cake with this
spatula, and it is flexible enough to use
to create fanciful frosting swirls on top.
A small offset spatula is good for frosting
cupcakes or cookies.
Wire Cooling Rack
Wire cooling racks are a necessity for setting just-
out-of-the-oven hot baking pans to cool. Hot pans
placed on a flat surface can cause the baked item to
become soggy, due to condensation that forms under
the pan. Cooling racks are also helpful to use when
drizzling icing or chocolate on top of cookies, cakes,
or pastries as the icing drips thru the rack instead of
forming a puddle.
Pastry Bag and Decorating
Tips
Pastry bags and pastry
tips are used to pipe
decorative borders of
icing or chocolate onto
cakes and cookies, or
for pressing out small
cookies or chocolate
shapes.
Cake Turntable
A cake turntable, also
known as a cake stand,
makes frosting a cake, or
more elaborate cake
decorating easier. A cake
turntable is like a lazy
Susan; it should sit on a
small pedestal and turn
easily without wobbling.
FLOUR
Flour is the foundation of nearly every
kind of baked good. It provides the structure
for the sugar, fats, liquids and flavorings that
make the cake/ bread, literally.
Flour provides bulk and structure to
bake goods . Some flours are used to
thicken liquids in items such as pudding and
pie fillings, or to prevent food from sticking
during preparation and baking.
3 kinds of Flour used in baking process
1. BREAD FLOUR
It contains 11.8% protein and has more gluten
which, in effect, process a tougher product. It is used
in breads and sweet dough like donuts and pate
choux.
2. ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
It contains 10.5% protein. This is made from
whole or white flour. It also has less gluten and is
commonly used un pie doughs, cookies, and others.
3. CAKE FLOUR
It contains 7.5% protein.
This produces the lightest
product. It is used in cakes, light
muffins, and others.
SUGARS
- a sweetener which can also be
called sucrose. It is the by-product of
sugar cane.
- They provide flavor and color,
tenderize products by weakening gluten
strands, provide food for yeasts, serve as
preservative and act as a creaming or
foaming agent to assist with leavening.
1.Granulated Sugar
Also referred to as white sugar , granulated
sugar is the most commonly used in baking.
When a recipe calls for “sugar” this is the one
to use.
SUPERFINE OR CASTOR
SUGAR
is a granulated sugar with a smaller-
sized crystal. It can be produced by
processing regular granulated sugar
in a food processor for a few
moments. Superfine sugar dissolves
quickly in liquids and produces light
and tender cakes.
2. Brown Sugar
This is refined white sugar mixed with refined molasses.
This is normally packed when measured.
Brown sugar is available in both light and dark varieties;
dark brown sugar has more molasses and stronger flavor.
3.Turbinado Sugar
Sometimes called Demerara sugar, is
the closest consumable product to raw sugar.
It is partially refined, light brown in color,
with coarse crystals and a caramel flavor. It is
sometimes used in beverages and certained
baked goods.
POWDERED SUGAR
or Confectioner’s Sugar is made by grinding
granulated sugar crystals through varying
degrees of fine screens. Because of powdered
sugar’s tendency to lump, 3 percent cornstarch
is added to absorb moisture.
Powdered sugar is most often used in
icings and glazes and for decorating baked
products.
1. Maple Syrup
made from the sap of sugar maple trees.
Sap is collected during the spring, then boiled to
evaporate its water content, yielding a sweet
brown syrup.
2. Honey
This is a natural sweetener made by
bees with 40% fructose and 30% glucose.
This is 25% sweeter than sucrose and
contains 15% water. Sugar can be
substituted with honey.
Example: 1 c sugar = ¾ c + 2T honey
3. Corn Syrup
This is derived from corn. The cornstarch is
broken down by an acid and is transformed into
sugar. Then vanilla and salt are added.
This extremely thick or viscous and less sweet-
tasting than honey or refined sugar. Its viscosity gives
foods a thick , chewy texture. It stabilizes products
made with sugar, preventing them from
recrystallization.
Corn syrup is available in light and dark forms;
the dark syrup has caramel color and flavor added.
4. Glucose
This is also made from corn
and is used in candy-making
and sugar work. This prevents
crystallization(solidifying of
liquid sugar) and is the least
sweet of sugars.
Inverted Sugar
a dense sugar syrup produced
by refining sucrose with an acid.
Invert sugar is about 20 to 30
percent sweeter than regular
sucrose.
Invert sugar is used extensively in confectionary for
preparations such as ganache, jellies, fudge, and taffy
and in the preparation of sorbets and ice cream. Its
ability for controlling crystallization and creating a
smoother mouth feel in these products is the main
reason why it is used in the first place. Invert sugar is
hygroscopic which leads to a reduction of available
water in food preparations, resulting in a longer shelf
life of countless products. It lowers the spread of
bacteria and basically acts as a preservative. The
humectant properties of invert sugar are high and will
keep products such as fillings for chocolates and fudge
much longer moist and tender. Invert sugar also
contributes to the Maillard reaction (caramelizing) and
consequently will aid the browning process.
SUGAR SYRUP take two forms:
1. SIMPLE SYRUP
- which are mixtures of sugar and water.
- they are used to moisten cakes and to make
sauces, sorbets and beverages.
2. COOKED SYRUP
which are made of melted sugar cooked until it
reaches a specific temperature.
CONCENTRATED COOKED SUGAR SYRUPS
 Meringue, buttercream, candy, caramel sauce and
other confections often need liquid sugar that will be
firm when cool or have a cooked caramel flavor. For
these purposes, sugar needs to be cooked to
temperatures far higher than for simple syrups.
 A small amount of water is generally added at the
beginning to help the sugar dissolve evenly. As the
mixture boils, the water evaporates, the solution’s
temperature rises and its density increases.
STAGES OF COOKED SUGAR

FATS
 Is the general term for butter, lard, margarine,
shortening and oil.
• Fats provide flavor and color, add moisture and
richness, assist with leavening, help extend a
product’s shelf life and shorten gluten strands,
producing tender baked goods.
• The flavor and texture of a baked good depends on
the type of fat used and the manner in which it is
incorporated with other ingredients.
FATS
 In pastry dough, solid fat shortens or tenderizes the
gluten strands, in bread doughs , fat increases loaf
volume and lightness, in cake batters, fat incorporates
air bubbles and helps leaven the mixture.
SHORTENINGS
 Any fat is a shortening in baking because it shorten the
gluten strands and tenderizes the product. What is
generally referred to as shortening, however, is a type
of solid, white, generally flavorless fat, specially
formulated for baking.
1.Shortening
- Are made form animal fats and/ or vegetable
oils that are solidified through hydrogenation.
- These products are 100% fat with relatively high
melting point.
- Solid shortening are ideal for greasing baking
pans because they are flavorless and odorless.
HYDROGENATION
 The process, used to harden oils, hydrogen atoms are
added to unsaturated fat molecules, making them
partially or completely saturated and thus solid at
room temperature.
EMULSIFIED SHORTENINGS
 Also known as high-ratio shortenings, are used in the
commercial production of cakes and frostings where
the formula contains a large amount of sugar.
- a fatty substance produced by agitating or
churning cream.
- Its flavor is unequaled in sauces, breads
and pastries.
- Butter contains at least 80% milkfat, not
more than 16% water and 2 to 4 % milk solids.
- it may or may not contain added salt.
2. Butter
– is preferred for baking because it tends to be
fresher, and additional salt might interfere with
product formulas.
UNSALTED BUTTER
SALTED BUTTER
Is butter with up to 2.5 % salt added. This not
only changes the butter’s flavor, it also
extends its keeping qualities. When salted
butter is used, the salt content must be
considered in the total recipe.
3. Margarine
- Manufactured from animal or vegetable fats or a
combination of such fats.
- Flavorings, colorings, emulsifiers, preservatives and
vitamins are added, and the mixture is firmed or
solidified by exposure to hydrogen gas at very high
temperatures, a process known as hydrogenation.
- Margarine melts at a slightly higher temperature than
butter, making it useful for some rolled-in doughs such
as puff pastry or Danish.
4. Lard
is rendered pork fat. It is a solid white product
of almost 100% pure fat; it contains only a small
amount of water. Lard yields flaky, flavorful
pastries, such as pie crusts, but is rarely used
commercially because it turns rancid quickly.
Milk provides texture,
flavor, volume, color
and nutritional value
for cooked or baked
items.
1. Evaporated Milk
 It is heated to 200F, thus most of the water is
evaporated from it. It has a cooked taste.
 The concentrated liquid is canned and heat-
sterilized.
2.Condensed Milk
 It contains large amount of sugar (40-45%).
 Is also canned; the canning process darkens the color
and adds a caramel flavor
3. DRY MILK POWDER
 Is made by removing virtually all the moisture from
pasteurized milk.
 Dry whole milk, non fat milk and buttermilk are
available.
- is a rich, liquid milk product containing at
least 18% fat.
- It must be pasteurized or ultra-
pasteurized and may be homogenized.
- Cream has a slight yellow or ivory color
and is more viscous than milk.
- It is used throughout the kitchen to give
flavor and body to sauces, soups and desserts.
- Cream is marketed in several forms with
different fat contents.
1. HALF-and HALF
a mixture of whole milk and cream containing
between 10% and 18% milk fat.
It is often served with cereal or coffee, but does
not contain enough fat to whip into a foam.
2. LIGHT CREAM, COFFEE CREAM
AND TABLE CREAM
are all products with more than
18% but less than 30 % milkfat. These
products are often used in baked goods
or soups as well with coffee, fruit and
cereal.
3.LIGHT WHIPPING CREAM
- or simply, whipping cream, contains
between 30% and 36 % milkfat.
- It is generally used for thickening and
enriching sauces and making ice cream.
- it can be whipped into a foam and used as a
dessert topping or folded into custards or
mousses to add flavor and lightness.
4. HEAVY CREAM
- or heavy whipping cream, contains
not less than 36 percent milk fat.
- It whips easily and holds its whipped
texture longer than other creams.
- It must be pasteurized, but is rarely
homogenized.
- heavy cream is used throughout the
kitchen in the same ways as light whipping
cream.
1. Sour Cream
- is produced by adding the same culture to
pasteurized, homogenized light cream.
- the resulting product is a white, tangy gel used
to give baked goods a distinctive flavor.
- must have a milkfat content o not less than 18%.
2. BUTTERMILK
- originally referred to the liquid
remaining after cream was churned into
butter.
- buttermilk is produced by adding a
culture to fresh, pasteurized skim or low-fat
milk. This results in a tart milk with a thick
texture.
2.YOHURT
a thick, tart product made from milk (either whole, low-fat or
non fat ) culture with Lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus
thermophilus.
FRESH OR UNRIPENED CHEESES
 CREAM CHEESE
 MASCARPONE (mas-cahr-pohn-ay)
 RICOTTA CHEESE
Eggs flavor, leaven and thicken items in the
bakeshop. They enrich and tenderize breads and
extend the shelf life of some baked goods.
Eggs are the by-product of a bird’s
reproductive system. They come in
different sizes and colors. Eggs are
made up of protein which has the
ability to aid in combining fat and
liquids(emulsification).
Percent Water Protein Fat Ash
Whole egg 74 13 11 1
White 88 11 .. ..
Yolk 48 17 33 1
Composition
An average-sized egg weighs approximately 57
grams (about 2 ounces). Of this weight, the shell
constitutes 11 percent; the white, 58 percent; and the
yolk, 31 percent. Normally, these proportions do not
vary appreciably for small or large eggs. The
percentage composition of the edible portions is:
One large egg is 1 2/3 oz (47.03 grams) or 9 ½ pieces per
pound.
One large egg yolk is 2/3 oz (18.70 grams) or 24 yolks per
pound.
One large egg white is 1 0z(28.33 grams) or 16 egg whites per
pound.
Here are some things you must remember
when dealing with eggs:
Blood spots seen in an egg is harmless. Eggs will
keep up to five weeks when refrigerated and only
four days when unrefrigerated.
Eggs kept in room temperature should be used the
same day.
Leavening agents can come in block or
powder form. They are usually added to
the dough to enable it to rise, because
leavening agents have the ability to
produce carbon dioxide when exposed to
heat.
These agents are the ones
responsible for making your
dough and cake rise. They are
of two Kinds:
Natural
Chemical
1. NATURAL
These are products of moisture,
temperature, and a food source. They
produce carbon dioxide and alcohol.
YEAST
is a natural leavening agent. This is
grown in molasses and is available in
three forms:
A.FRESH
This is slightly dehydrated and compressed.
It can be added directly to a recipe. This form is
preferred by chefs because of easy handling.
B. ACTIVE DRIED
This is 92% dehydrated. This can keep for
years, but it has to be rehydrated in 100F warm
water before using.
C. INSTANT
This can also be added directly
to the dry ingredients, but must not
come in contact with moisture before
mixing.
2.Chemical
This kind of leavening agent is
usually in powder form and is used
in the production of cakes, quick
breads, and others.
A.BAKING SODA
This contains alkali and sodium or
potassium bicarbonate. It produces
carbon dioxide when it comes in
contact with moisture and acid.
Products made with baking soda
should be baked immediately.
B. BAKING POWDER
This is baking soda plus acid and a little
amount of starch which is added to prevent
lumping. Baking powder has a more
controlled action compared to baking soda .
It reacts upon contact with moisture and then
it react again when in contact with heat.
EGG, AIR AND STEAM are also
considered leavening agents
because they create air or gas as
well which can cause a product to
rise. Some products which solely
depend on these leavening agents
are angel cakes and cake rolls or
sheet cakes.
CREAM OF TARTAR
Tartaric acid with the addition of starch.
Tartaric acid is derived from grapes and the
reason why starch is added to tartaric acid is to
prevent it from caking.
Cream of Tartar is usually used in
meringues. It invert sugar, whitens and
stabilize egg whites, and reacts with the
baking soda contained in baking powder.
SALT
 When used in chocolate and caramel candies, salt
heightens contrasting tastes of bitter and sweet.
 In yeast dough, salt slows yeast fermentation.
 Salt also strengthens the gluten structure in bread
dough.
 Omitting or reducing the amount of salt can cause the
dough to rise too quickly, adversely affecting the shape
and flavor of bread.
TYPE OF SALT
 Culinary or table salt
 Rock salt
 Sea salt
 Kosher salt
Extracts
Extracts are the substance taken from plants
or seeds, and used to flavor foods. For example
vanilla extract is produced from vanilla seedpods.
Flavorings
Flavorings are a natural or artificial
substance added to food to give the food an
identifiable or distinct taste, such as maple
flavoring

Before you begin any food
preparation, read each recipe
in your menu.
Then assemble all
ingredients, utensils and
cookware to make certain you
have everything on hand.
Prepare your baking pans.
To help ensure accurate
baking times, it is
necessary to heat the
oven for 10 to 15 minutes
before baking.
Most recipes for baked
goods call for the pan to be
greased, or greased and
floured.
Prepare the pan before
you begin the recipe.
 Use a solid vegetable shortening
because it won’t brown or add flavor
to your baked good.
With pastry brush, apply a thin ,
even layer of shortening to the pan.
Grease generously, if specified in
recipe, to ensure easy removal of
baked items from the pan.
Or

HOW TO MEASURE INGREDIENTS
TYPE TOOL
DRY & STICKY Dry Measuring Cups
or Kitchen Scale
LIQUID Liquid Measuring
Cups
TEASPOON&
TABLESPOON
Measuring Spoons
BUTTER /MARGARINE
Special Instructions: You will
sometimes encounter
additional instructions that are
required to get the correct
amount of the ingredient. For
example, a recipe might
request "1 cup brown sugar,
firmly packed", or "2 heaping
cups flour." If you encounter
one of these special requests,
consult the table below. Use a
spatula or straight edge of a
knife blade to level the
ingredients even with the top
of the cup.
Brown Sugar: Spoon
brown sugar into a dry
measuring cup. Pack it
firmly into the cup
until it is level.
Shortening: Spoon
shortening into a dry
measuring cup. Pack it
firmly into the cup and
level off the top.
Liquids: Measure liquids into
glass measuring cups. Get at eye
level with the cup and fill it just to
the measuring line.
Butter: Butter sticks have tablespoon
markings on the wrapper -- 8 per
stick. Just cut off what you need. (Or,
this is good to know: 1 stick equals
1/2 cup butter.
Flour
Stir flour in the storage container or bag. Using a large
spoon, lightly spoon flour from the container into the
measuring cup. Do not shake the cup and do not pack the
flour. Using the back of a knife or flat blade spatula, level
off the flour even with the top edge of the measuring cup.
Don't use the measuring cup to scoop the flour out of the
container.
Powdered Sugar
Powdered sugar usually needs to be
sifted to remove small lumps. It is
measured by spooning the sugar into
the measuring cup from the container,
then leveling off with the back of a
knife.
Yeast
 Is a living organism, one-celled fungus
 Yeast feeds on carbohydrates converting them into
carbon dioxide and ethanol - fermentation
 During the baking process, yeast releases gas that is
trapped in the dough
FERMENTATION
 The process by which yeast converts sugar into alcohol
and carbon dioxide; it also refers to the time that yeast
dough is left to rise- that is, the time it takes carbon
dioxide gas cells to form and become trapped in the
gluten network.
Types of Yeast
 Compressed
 Also known as fresh yeast
 Must be rehydrated
 Active dry yeast
 All moisture has been removed so that this yeast does not need to
be refrigerated until it is opened
 Must be rehydrated
 Instant dry yeast
 Gained popularity because it can be added to the dry ingredients
without rehydration
Production Stages of Yeast Breads
1. Scaling the ingredients
2. Mixing and kneading the dough
3. Fermenting the dough
 The first rise
4. Punching down the dough
 Folded down to expel the gases
5. Portioning the dough
 Cutting into the correct portions
Production Stages of Yeast Breads
6. Rounding the portions
 Stretching and smoothing the outer layers
7. Makeup: shaping the portions
8. Proofing the products
 The second rise
9. Baking the products
 Washes
 Scoring and docking
 Steam in the oven
10.Cooling and storing the finished products
Mixing Methods
 Straight dough method
 Simplest and most common
 All ingredients are simply combined and mixed
 Once combined the dough is kneaded until smooth and
elastic
Mixing Methods
 Sponge method (two-stage method)
 First stage: yeast, liquid and half of the flour are mixed
to make a sponge
 The sponge is allowed to rise
 Second stage: the remaining ingredients are added
 The dough is kneaded and allowed to rise again
 This method gives the bread a slightly different flavor
and lighter texture
Controlling Fermentation
 Adding more yeast or more sugar, which feeds yeast,
speeds fermentation
 Using warmer water and letting the dough rise in a
warm room will speed fermentation
 Using cold water and letting the dough rise in a cool
pace will slow fermentation
Gauging Bread Doneness
 Uniform, rich, burnished gold to brown crust color
 Hollow sound when tapped on the bottom
 Internal temperature
 Lean dough - 190ºF to 210ºF
 Rich dough - 180ºF to 190ºF
Rolled-In Doughs
 Also known as laminated doughs
 Used to make:
 Croissants
 Danish pastries
 Puff pastry (a non yeast-leavened laminated dough)
Making Rolled-In Dough
1. Mix dough and allow to rise
2. Prepare the butter or shortening
3. Roll out dough and top with butter
4. Fold dough around the butter and enclose completely
5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle
6. Fold the dough in thirds
7. Roll out and fold, in the same manner a second and third time
Making Rolled-In Dough
1 Rolling out the butter
between two sheets of
plastic wrap.
2 Folding the dough
around the butter,
which has been
placed in the center.
3 Brushing the excess
flour from the rolled-
out dough.
4 Folding the dough in
thirds.
ROLE AND PROPORTION OF INGREDIENTS IN
BREADS
Proportion of
Ingredients
Role of Ingredient
100% Flour Flour contains the air produced by yeast because
the air is contained within the gluten of the protein
of the flour.
60% Liquid Water and milk are two of the many liquids which
can be used in bread making.
Eggs, flavorings and others are also included, thus
must be considered in a dough’s liquid %.
3% Yeast Yeast serves as the leavening agent of bread. In
using yeast, always remember that this agent dies
at 140F
2% Salt Salt is added for flavor and it also controls the
reaction of the yeast. Furthermore, salt
strengthens the gluten.
Sugar Sugar acts as food for the yeast. It adds flavor,
holds in moisture, and gives color to the crust
because it caramelizes when in contact with heat.
Fats (butter, shortening) Fats are added for flavor and texture. They are not
added until halfway through the kneading
process because they will coat the yeast; if that
happens, it will stop the dough from rising.
What part does each play in the
making of bread?
 GLUTEN – provides dough with elasticity and
strength.
 YEAST – makes dough rise and gives it it’s porous

growth of yeast?
 Sugar
 Provides food for the
yeast to grow.
 Salt
 Controls the growth of

Yeast Growth
 As yeast grows CARBON DIOXIDE develops
causing the dough to rise.
Once multiplying begins
How do you know the bread
has risen enough?
 Should double in size
 Push two fingers into the dough, if the holes
remain but the top stays smooth and satiny.
Why is the milk scalded then
cooled?
 To destroy enzymes that make dough sticky
 To allow yeast to grow at optimum temp.
 Too hot of temperature will kill the yeast!
What does kneading do?
 Develops the gluten so the dough will stretch and
expand.

Chapter Objectives
 After studying this chapter, you will be able to:
 prepare a variety of cookie doughs and batters
 understand the various make-up methods for cookies,
biscotti and brownies
 assemble a variety of decorated cookies and brownies
Mixing Methods
 Most cookies are made from rich dough made with the
creaming method.
 Egg foam and one-stage mixing method also used to
make cookie dough
 Cookies can be leavened with:
 baking soda
 baking powder
 air and steam
 They are usually high in fat, which contributes to
flavor and tenderness and extends shelf life.
Make-Up Methods
 Varieties are classified by the way they are prepared
once the dough has been made.
 The seven key preparation techniques are:
 Drop
 Icebox
 Bar
 Sheet
 Cut-out
 Piped
 Rolled or Molded
 Wafer
Panning, Baking and Storing
 Proper panning and baking ensures proper texture and
color.
 Uniform thickness and even space between cookies on
the baking sheet are important.
 Most cookies should be cooled on a rack.
 Store cookies at room temperature, airtight
 Do not crisp soft cookies with soft cookies. Moisture
from soft cookies will be absorbed by crisp cookies.
Cookie Formula Balance
 Crispiness, softness/chewiness and spread are affected by:
 Ratio of ingredients
 Oven temperature
 Pan coating
Cookie Textures
Brownies
 Are generally chewy and fudgy, sweeter and denser
than the richest butter cake.
 They are prepared using the same procedures as high-
fat cakes.
 Higher percentage of butter to flour and fewer eggs
produce dense, fudgy brownies.
Flavoring Brownies
 Brownie flavors and textures can be customized.
 Use flavoring extracts in the better
 Fold nuts, white chocolate, dried fruits and other
ingredients into the batter before baking
 Marbleized batter after panning with jam, marmalade,
peanut butter or cream cheese
 Layer panned batter with toffee, coconut or other fillings
 Ice the baked brownies; garnish the iced brownies; vary
the shapes into which the brownies are cut
Convenience Products
 Dry mix requires the addition of water and frequently oil
and eggs.
 Select products with quality ingredients:
 Pure butter
 Nuts and Natural flavorings
 High percentage of fruit and chocolate
 Few preservatives
 Refrigerate frozen dough properly and once thawed, it acts
much like scratch product.
Chapter11
On Baking 3rd edition
Chapter Objectives
 After studying this chapter, you will be able to:
 prepare a variety of pie crusts and fillings
 form and bake a variety of pies and tarts
 prepare a variety of dessert and pastry items,
incorporating components from other chapters
Pies vs. Tarts
 Pies are composed of sweet or savory fillings in baked
crusts.
 Pies are generally made in round, slope-sided pans.
 Tarts are similar except they are made in shallow,
straight- sided pans.
 Tarts can be almost any shape and often have glazed
fruits, piped cream or chocolate decorations.
Types of Pie and Tart Doughs
Dough for Crusts
 Three basic types of dough used for pie crust
 Flaky pie dough is made by cutting fat into large,
irregulars pieces
 Best for pie top crusts and lattice topping
 Mealy pie dough is made by cutting fat into, fine,
uniform pieces. Less liquid needed
 Best for fruit and custard pies
 Crumb crust is made from crushed cookie or other
crumbs and butter, used for cheesecakes or custard pies
 Type of fat used affects dough flavor and flakiness
Dough for Crusts
 Tarts are usually made with one of several rich doughs
 Sweet tart dough (Pâte sucrée) sturdier than flaky or
mealy pie dough because it contains egg yolks and is
mixed thoroughly. Cookie like
 Shortbread tart dough (Pâte sablée) sweet tart dough
with a high percentage of fat; can be used to make
buttery cookies; more fragile and difficult to handle than
sweet tart dough
Shaping Crusts
 Crusts are shaped by rolling out the dough to fit into a pie
pan or tart shell or to sit on top of fillings
 Work on a clean flat surface lightly dusted with flour
 Too much four makes the crust dry and crumbly.
 Roll out the well-chilled dough from the center
 Crusts can be filled and then baked or baked unfilled
(baked blind) and then filled
Fillings
 Fillings make pies and tarts distinctive and flavorful.
 Four types of pie fillings:
 Cream
 Fruit
 Cooked Fruit
 Cooked Juice
 Baked Fruit
 Custard
 Chiffon
Starches for Pies
 Select the type of starch for the desired results
 Flour can be used with fruits that are not excessively
juicy
 Cornstarch sets up into a clear firm gel but breaks down
when frozen
 Tapioca withstands freezing, sets up at a lower
temperature than cornstarch
 Waxy maize can be frozen
Troubleshooting for Pies
Assembling Tarts
 Assembling tarts consists of three steps:
 Line shell with prepared sweet dough. Bake blind and
cool completely
 Prepare pastry cream, curd or other filling. Pour filling
into prepared crust
 Refrigerate or freeze filled tart shells until filling is set.
 Tarts can be coated with a shiny topping called glaze; it
adds eye appeal and protects fresh fruit from browning
Assembling Pies
Storing Pies and Tarts
 Pies and tarts filled with cream or custard must be
refrigerated to retard bacterial growth
 Unbaked fruit pies and pie shells may be frozen 2
months
 Baked fruit pies and custard pies should not be frozen
Convenience Products
 Preformed pie and tart shells are available in a range of
sizes and styles, both raw and prebaked
 Prepared pie fillings are also available in a variety of
fruit and custard flavors, offering convenience,
consistency and the ability to serve fruits out of season
 Shelf life of these fillings tends to be extremely long,
often without the need for refrigeration
Pies are usually made up of
three parts:
- the crust
- the filling
- and the topping
CRUST
- the shell of a pie.
- it is what contains both the filling and the
topping.
- it should stay crisp and dry even if it
comes in contact with the juice of the fruit filling.
- it should also remain sturdy when taken
out of the pie tin to be able to contain the other
parts of the pie. At the same time, the crust should
not be too hard.
FLOUR
- dictates the flakiness of the crust.
- If pastry flour or APF is used, it would
have the proper amount of gluten to hold the
product together and yet it would be so
compact and hard to create the proper flake.
FAT
- Shortening is the most
appropriate fat to be used because it
has the right plastic consistency to
produce a flaky crust.
LIQUID
- necessary to produce gluten in the flour,
which is important in achieving flakiness.
- Too much water will make the dough tough
because more gluten will be produced.
- Too little water will cause the crust to fall
apart because not enough gluten will be produced to
hold the dough together.
- Liquid should always be added cold to
maintain proper dough temperature
SALT
-This has some tenderizing and
conditioning effects on the gluten.
-It also has effects on the flavor.
Dough, when classified according to
their desired texture, can be divided
into two categories:
1. Flaky pie dough
2. Mealy pie dough
FLAKY PIE DOUGH PROCEDURE
FLAKY PIE DOUGH
Use as top crust and pre-
baked shells
MEALY PIE DOUGH
Used as bottom crusts
 Fat id cut or rubbed into
the flour until the particles
are pea- sized. This is usually
done with 2 forks, 2 knives or
a pastry blender.
Then the liquid is added to
the flour. It is then absorbed.
When this dough is rolled
out, the flakes flatten out
and form the dough
separated by fat.
•The fat is incorporated with
the flour in the same manner
as the flaky pie dough but is
blended until the texture
becomes like coarse
cornmeal.
Cakes and Icings
Cakes
 Are created from liquid batters with high fat and sugar
contents.
 Ingredients are classified by function:
 Tougheners
 Tenderizers
 Moisteners
 Driers
 Leaveners
 Flavorings
Cake Mixing Methods
 The goal of mixing cake batter is:
 to combine ingredients uniformly
 incorporate air cells
 develop proper texture
 Cake Mixing Methods are divided into two categories:
 High fat, whose structure relies on creamed fat and
includes butter cakes and high-ratio cakes
 Egg foam, whose structure relies on whipped eggs and
includes genoise, spongecakes, angel food and chiffon
cakes
Types of Cakes
Specific Gravity
 The amount of air incorporated into a batter relates to the
quality, volume and appearance of the finished cake.
 Too little air make a cake with tight grain and low
volume. Too much air and the grain may be coarse.
 Specific gravity will indicate if a cake batter is properly
mixed.
 It is a measurement of the weight of a mixture in relation to
the weight of water.
 Weight of ingredient / weight of water = specific gravity
Panning Cake Batter
 Most pans must be greased or lined to prevent cakes from
sticking.
 Fill pans no more than one half to two thirds full.
Baking and Cooling
 Always preheat the oven before preparing the batter.
 Test for doneness:
 Appearance – light golden brown; edges pull away from sides of the
pan.
 Touch – Springs back when lightly pressed
 Cake tester – Comes out clean when inserted in center of cake.
 Generally allow a cake 10 to 15 minutes in its pan set on a
cooling rack after taking it out of the oven.
 All cakes should be left to cool away from drafts or air
currents that might cause them to collapse.
Icings
 Or frostings, are sweet decorative coatings used as
filling between layers or, as coating over the top
and sides of the cake.
 There are several types:
 Buttercream
 Foam
 Fudge
 Fondant
 Glaze
 Royal icing
 Ganache
Types of Icing
Troubleshooting Icing
Assembling and Decorating
Cakes
 Before a cake can be decorated it must be assembled and
coated with icing or frosting.
 The goal is to fill and stack the cake layers evenly and apply
an even coating of icing that is smooth and free of crumbs.
 Consider the flavor, texture and color of the components
used as well as the number of guests served when
designing a cake and selecting the filling and icing.
Cake Decorating Techniques
 Side masking with nuts, crumbs or crushed cookies
 Stencils – creating a design on top of a cake with
confectioner’s sugar or cocoa powder.
 Piping on icing in decorative patterns
 Learning how to make a disposable icing cone from
parchment-paper is a great time saver.
 Covering cake with rolled fondant
Storing Cakes
 Plain cake layers or sheets can be stored for 2 or 3 days at
room temperature when well wrapped.
 Iced or chilled cakes are usually refrigerated.
 Any cake containing custard filling, mousse or whipped
cream must be refrigerated.
 Although cakes can be frozen with great success, icings and
fillings do not freeze particularly well.
Convenience Products
 Packaged cake mixes are tremendous time savers.
 Results are consistent, although usually softer and more
cottony than scratch cakes.
 Flavor also tends to be more artificial than scratch cakes.
 Icings, glazing and toppings are available.
 Icings are often exceedingly sweet and overpowered by
artificial flavors and chemical preservatives.
 The products save time and have consistent results but are
more costly than scratch products.
Petits Fours
Petits Fours – Miniature
Pastries
 Are any type of pastry small enough to be consumed in
one to two mouthfuls.
 Attention to detail is paramount.
 Uniformity in size, shape and consistency of finishing
details count a great deal for the eye appeal of petits
fours.
Petits Fours – Miniature Pastries
 General guidelines are:
 No more than one or two small bites
 Represent a variety of textures and flavors
 Be visually attractive
 Complement whatever foods precede or accompany
them without duplicating their flavors
Petits Four Varieties
 Petit fours are divided into five broad categories based
on preparation method, texture or principal
ingredient:
 Dry such as fragile, crunchy dainty cookies
 Fresh such as tartlets filled with creams and fresh fruit
 Iced such as delicate layer cakes cut into small squares
 Almond such as French-style macaroons
 Glazed Fruit
Petits Four Components
Serving and Presenting Petits
Fours
 Individual petits fours are usually placed in fluted
paper cases, allowing for ease of pickup and neat
serving trays.
 When placing petits fours on a platter, parallel rows of
the same item allow for ease of selection and
replenishment.
 Footed and tiered trays offer visual excitement in a
limited amount of space.
Petits Fours
 “Small Oven”
 Also called friandises
 Fancy miniature cakes, cookies, tartlets
and other pastries
 Serve:
 afternoon tea or coffee
 after dessert
 Sweet version of the amuses bouche
Common Characteristics
 Fancy, light, delicate, crisp, “refreshing”
 No more than one or two bites; 1-1/2 to 2 inch
square
Petits Fours Sec
 Small fancy cookies.
 One or two bites.

    Birth of theBakeshop and Restaurant • Bread making in rustic stone ovens dates back to the Neolithic period (4000 B.C.E.). • Egyptians discovered the effect of wild yeast to leaven bread; by the first millennia B.C.E., more than 70 kinds of bread were documented there. • Bread making and confectionery were among the first labor activities organized into specialized trades.  Historians credit ancient Greeks with spreading the professions throughout the Mediterranean region.
  • 99.
    Refined Sugar andthe Art of Confectionery  The appetite for sweet foods is the only universal taste preference.  Historians assume that for much of history, fruits and honey were the primary sweeteners.  The process of extracting sugar from sugar cane spread throughout the Mediterranean region during the 13th through 15th centuries.  Columbus carried sugarcane to islands in the Caribbean.  Sugar beets are another source of refined sugar.
  • 100.
    Bakery Guilds andthe First Restaurant  The European guild system organized the sale and production of goods to ensure consistent products.  Early guilds existed for the pâtissier (who cooked poultry, pies and tarts) and the tamisiers (who baked breads).  The first restaurant where food was prepared and on premises and served opened by Monsieur Boulanger in Paris in 1765.  Following the first restaurants, pivotal figures in the industry from its inception to the mid- 20th century are examined:  Antonin Carême  Charles Ranhofer  Cesar Ritz  Auguste Escoffier

    Principles of Baking This chapter introduces the student to the scientific basis for what takes place in the bakeshop.  Concepts and vocabulary presented here are used and expanded upon throughout the text.  Understanding the science of mixing fat, flour and water to make a finished product makes for a well- rounded professional.
  • 150.
    Mixing Once ingredients aremeasured, they must be MIXED Mixing accomplishes:  Even distribution of ingredients  Breakdown of fats and liquids, causing them to emulsify  Activation of the proteins in wheat flour causing formation of gluten  Incorporation of air (aeration) into dough.
  • 151.
  • 152.
    Importance of Moisture Moisture dissolves ingredients, helps hydrate and activates compounds in dough  Doughs have low water content.  Yeast bread dough, cookie dough, pie dough.  Batters generally contain more liquids, fat and sugar than doughs.  cake batter, muffin batter and pancake batter.
  • 153.
    Heat Transfer  Conduction- movement of heat from one item to another through direct contact.  Pan placed over burner  Convection - transfer of heat through a fluid, which may be liquid or gas.  Hot air circulating in oven
  • 154.
    Heat Transfer (cont.) Radiation - transfer of heat through waves that move from the heat source to the food.  Infrared cooking  Microwave ovens
  • 155.
    Baking and CookingMethods  Dry-heat cooking uses air or fat and is the principal method to cook:  batter  dough  Moist heat uses water or steam for cooking:  fruits  tenderizing foods  reducing liquids
  • 156.
  • 157.
    The Baking Process Batters and dough pass through 9 stages during the baking process:  Gasses form  Gasses are trapped  Starches gelatinize  Proteins coagulate  Fats melt  Water evaporates  Sugars caramelize  Carryover baking  Staling
  • 158.
    What is Flavorand Taste?  Flavor - combination of the tastes, aromas and other sensations in the mouth.  The five primary Tastes are:  Sweet  Sour  Salty  Bitter  Umami
  • 159.
    Science of Taste Chewing releases flavor compounds in food  Taste buds on the tongue detect taste and flavor compounds  Aromas and odor compounds reach olfactory bulb through internal and external nostrils
  • 160.
    Effects on FlavorPerception  TEMPERATURE. Foods at warm temperatures offer the strongest tastes.  CONSISTENCY of the product  PRESENCE OF CONTRASTING TASTES  PRESENCE OF FATS  COLOR

    Whisks used to whiskor stir wet or dry ingredients together, beating egg whites or cream, stirring ingredients as they heat in a saucepan and folding ingredients together. Whisks come in various sizes and strength of wire.
  • 171.
    Measuring Spoons Measuring spoonsare used for measuring small amounts of ingredients such as spices, leaveners, and extracts, and very small amounts of liquids.
  • 172.
    MEASURING CUPS Basic drymeasuring cups are purchased in a set that includes 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1 cup. Larger measuring cup sets may also include 1/8 cup, 2/3 cup, 3/4 cup and 1½ cup measures. A dry measuring cup does not have a pouring spout; instead they should have a straight edge to allow for easy leveling. Dry measuring cups are used to measure all dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, and oats, also for semisolid ingredients such as jam, shortening, sour cream, and peanut butter.
  • 173.
    Liquid Measuring Cups/Measuring Glass Allliquid ingredients, such as water, milk, or juice are measured in a liquid measuring cup. Liquid measuring cups should be made of clear glass or plastic, have a pouring spout, and have clear measurement markings on the side. It is handy to have a 1 cup measure, along with a 2 cup and 4 cup measure for most baking projects. Liquid measuring cups are also handy for warming milk or melting butter in the microwave. To accurately measure, place the measuring cup on a flat surface and pour the liquid in up to the marking for the amount you need. Let the liquid stop swishing around to determine the level it is at.
  • 174.
    Pastry Blender A pastryblender, also known as a dough blender, is used to cut butter or other fat into dry ingredients, such as when making piecrust, scones, or biscuits. A pastry blender has stainless steel wires shaped into a half-moon, with a stainless or wooden handle for gripping. In place of a pastry blender, two kitchen knives also work well for cutting the ingredients together.
  • 175.
    PASTRY BRUSH used tobrush liquid type ingredients onto pastries or breads. For example use a pastry brush to brush butter onto a hot loaf of bread, or an egg wash onto bagels, or milk onto a pie crust, or to wash down the sides of a saucepan when melting and caramelizing sugar. A pastry brush is even helpful for brushing excess flour from dough during rolling, and brushing up spilled flour on the kitchen counter.
  • 176.
    ROLLING PIN Helps flattenor spread dough to a uniform thickness before cutting and baking.it also help knead and flatten lumps of dough.
  • 177.
    RUBBER SPATULA Spatulas havemany uses including scraping batters down from the sides and bottom of a mixing bowl, spreading fillings, stirring stovetop custards and chocolate while heating, folding lighter ingredients into heavy batters, scrambling eggs, and more. Spatulas come in a variety of sizes and may be made of a solid piece of silicone or have a silicone blade attached to a wooden, plastic or stainless steel handle. A small 1 inch spatula is handy for scraping out the inside of measuring cups and containers. A 2 inch spatula is good for stirring, blending, and scraping the sides and bottom of a mixing bowl. A larger 3 inch spatula is best for folding ingredients together.

    SAUCEPANS A cooking utensilthat is round in shape with high, straight sides and a longer handle. Equipped with a tight fitting cover, the saucepan can range in sizes to hold contents for one pint or in sizes up to four quarts. They are made of materials such as stainless steel, copper, anodized aluminum, glass, and enameled steel or cast iron. A saucepan has many uses, including preparation processes such as boiling water, for making sauces and soups, or for braising foods.
  • 184.
    SKILLET A fryingpan, frypan, or skillet is a flat-bottomed pan used for frying, searing, and browning foods. It is typically 200 to 300 mm (8 to 12 in) in diameter with relatively low sides that flare outwards, a long handle, and no lid
  • 186.
    COOKIE AND BAKING SHEETS Cookiesheets are rimless, flat metal sheets, perfectly designed for placing rows of cookies. They normally have a small rim on the short sides for easy gripping. The long flat edges allow you to slide cookies off the sheet after baking
  • 187.
    JELLY ROLL PANS JellyRoll pans are the same as a baking sheet. They have a raised edge all around, usually ½ to 1 inch high. The most all-purpose size to have is a 12½ x 17½ by 1 inch Jelly Roll Pan. Jelly roll pans are most often used to make bar cookies, shortbread, sponge cakes, sheet cakes, focaccia breads, and more. A jelly roll pan is also good to place under a fruit pie as it is baking to catch overflowing juices, and to hold springform and tart pans with removable bottoms while baking.
  • 188.
    LOAF PANS Loaf pansare used for most quick bread recipes, such as banana bread and zucchini bread. Metal, stone, glass, and ceramic loaf pans all work well for quick breads. Loaf pans can also be used for yeast breads. The most useful sizes are a 9¼ x 5¼ x 2½ inch loaf pans for larger loaves and 8½ x 4½ x 2½ inch loaf pans for smaller loaves. Darker loaf pans are good for crusty yeast breads; however light aluminum is best for sweet and quick breads so they don’t over- darken.
  • 189.
    MUFFIN PANS AND BAKINGCUPS Muffin pans are a rectangular metal baking pan with six or twelve cup, used to bake both muffins and cupcakes. Muffin pan sizes are typically mini, standard, and jumbo sized. Each cup is normally lined with paper baking cups, and then filled with muffin or cake batter. Muffin pans can also be used to bake dinner rolls or individual brownies.

    Offset Spatula An offsetspatula has a long, narrow, flexible stainless steel blade that allows easy frosting of cakes. You can easily spread frosting or whipped cream around the sides of the cake with this spatula, and it is flexible enough to use to create fanciful frosting swirls on top. A small offset spatula is good for frosting cupcakes or cookies.
  • 199.
    Wire Cooling Rack Wirecooling racks are a necessity for setting just- out-of-the-oven hot baking pans to cool. Hot pans placed on a flat surface can cause the baked item to become soggy, due to condensation that forms under the pan. Cooling racks are also helpful to use when drizzling icing or chocolate on top of cookies, cakes, or pastries as the icing drips thru the rack instead of forming a puddle.
  • 200.
    Pastry Bag andDecorating Tips Pastry bags and pastry tips are used to pipe decorative borders of icing or chocolate onto cakes and cookies, or for pressing out small cookies or chocolate shapes.
  • 201.
    Cake Turntable A caketurntable, also known as a cake stand, makes frosting a cake, or more elaborate cake decorating easier. A cake turntable is like a lazy Susan; it should sit on a small pedestal and turn easily without wobbling.

    FLOUR Flour is thefoundation of nearly every kind of baked good. It provides the structure for the sugar, fats, liquids and flavorings that make the cake/ bread, literally. Flour provides bulk and structure to bake goods . Some flours are used to thicken liquids in items such as pudding and pie fillings, or to prevent food from sticking during preparation and baking.
  • 204.
    3 kinds ofFlour used in baking process 1. BREAD FLOUR It contains 11.8% protein and has more gluten which, in effect, process a tougher product. It is used in breads and sweet dough like donuts and pate choux. 2. ALL PURPOSE FLOUR It contains 10.5% protein. This is made from whole or white flour. It also has less gluten and is commonly used un pie doughs, cookies, and others.
  • 205.
    3. CAKE FLOUR Itcontains 7.5% protein. This produces the lightest product. It is used in cakes, light muffins, and others.
  • 206.
    SUGARS - a sweetenerwhich can also be called sucrose. It is the by-product of sugar cane. - They provide flavor and color, tenderize products by weakening gluten strands, provide food for yeasts, serve as preservative and act as a creaming or foaming agent to assist with leavening.
  • 208.
    1.Granulated Sugar Also referredto as white sugar , granulated sugar is the most commonly used in baking. When a recipe calls for “sugar” this is the one to use.
  • 209.
    SUPERFINE OR CASTOR SUGAR isa granulated sugar with a smaller- sized crystal. It can be produced by processing regular granulated sugar in a food processor for a few moments. Superfine sugar dissolves quickly in liquids and produces light and tender cakes.
  • 210.
    2. Brown Sugar Thisis refined white sugar mixed with refined molasses. This is normally packed when measured. Brown sugar is available in both light and dark varieties; dark brown sugar has more molasses and stronger flavor.
  • 211.
    3.Turbinado Sugar Sometimes calledDemerara sugar, is the closest consumable product to raw sugar. It is partially refined, light brown in color, with coarse crystals and a caramel flavor. It is sometimes used in beverages and certained baked goods.
  • 212.
    POWDERED SUGAR or Confectioner’sSugar is made by grinding granulated sugar crystals through varying degrees of fine screens. Because of powdered sugar’s tendency to lump, 3 percent cornstarch is added to absorb moisture. Powdered sugar is most often used in icings and glazes and for decorating baked products.
  • 214.
    1. Maple Syrup madefrom the sap of sugar maple trees. Sap is collected during the spring, then boiled to evaporate its water content, yielding a sweet brown syrup.
  • 215.
    2. Honey This isa natural sweetener made by bees with 40% fructose and 30% glucose. This is 25% sweeter than sucrose and contains 15% water. Sugar can be substituted with honey. Example: 1 c sugar = ¾ c + 2T honey
  • 216.
    3. Corn Syrup Thisis derived from corn. The cornstarch is broken down by an acid and is transformed into sugar. Then vanilla and salt are added. This extremely thick or viscous and less sweet- tasting than honey or refined sugar. Its viscosity gives foods a thick , chewy texture. It stabilizes products made with sugar, preventing them from recrystallization. Corn syrup is available in light and dark forms; the dark syrup has caramel color and flavor added.
  • 217.
    4. Glucose This isalso made from corn and is used in candy-making and sugar work. This prevents crystallization(solidifying of liquid sugar) and is the least sweet of sugars.
  • 218.
    Inverted Sugar a densesugar syrup produced by refining sucrose with an acid. Invert sugar is about 20 to 30 percent sweeter than regular sucrose.
  • 219.
    Invert sugar isused extensively in confectionary for preparations such as ganache, jellies, fudge, and taffy and in the preparation of sorbets and ice cream. Its ability for controlling crystallization and creating a smoother mouth feel in these products is the main reason why it is used in the first place. Invert sugar is hygroscopic which leads to a reduction of available water in food preparations, resulting in a longer shelf life of countless products. It lowers the spread of bacteria and basically acts as a preservative. The humectant properties of invert sugar are high and will keep products such as fillings for chocolates and fudge much longer moist and tender. Invert sugar also contributes to the Maillard reaction (caramelizing) and consequently will aid the browning process.
  • 220.
    SUGAR SYRUP taketwo forms: 1. SIMPLE SYRUP - which are mixtures of sugar and water. - they are used to moisten cakes and to make sauces, sorbets and beverages. 2. COOKED SYRUP which are made of melted sugar cooked until it reaches a specific temperature.
  • 221.
    CONCENTRATED COOKED SUGARSYRUPS  Meringue, buttercream, candy, caramel sauce and other confections often need liquid sugar that will be firm when cool or have a cooked caramel flavor. For these purposes, sugar needs to be cooked to temperatures far higher than for simple syrups.  A small amount of water is generally added at the beginning to help the sugar dissolve evenly. As the mixture boils, the water evaporates, the solution’s temperature rises and its density increases.

    FATS  Is thegeneral term for butter, lard, margarine, shortening and oil. • Fats provide flavor and color, add moisture and richness, assist with leavening, help extend a product’s shelf life and shorten gluten strands, producing tender baked goods. • The flavor and texture of a baked good depends on the type of fat used and the manner in which it is incorporated with other ingredients.
  • 225.
    FATS  In pastrydough, solid fat shortens or tenderizes the gluten strands, in bread doughs , fat increases loaf volume and lightness, in cake batters, fat incorporates air bubbles and helps leaven the mixture.
  • 226.
    SHORTENINGS  Any fatis a shortening in baking because it shorten the gluten strands and tenderizes the product. What is generally referred to as shortening, however, is a type of solid, white, generally flavorless fat, specially formulated for baking.
  • 227.
    1.Shortening - Are madeform animal fats and/ or vegetable oils that are solidified through hydrogenation. - These products are 100% fat with relatively high melting point. - Solid shortening are ideal for greasing baking pans because they are flavorless and odorless.
  • 228.
    HYDROGENATION  The process,used to harden oils, hydrogen atoms are added to unsaturated fat molecules, making them partially or completely saturated and thus solid at room temperature.
  • 229.
    EMULSIFIED SHORTENINGS  Alsoknown as high-ratio shortenings, are used in the commercial production of cakes and frostings where the formula contains a large amount of sugar.

    - a fattysubstance produced by agitating or churning cream. - Its flavor is unequaled in sauces, breads and pastries. - Butter contains at least 80% milkfat, not more than 16% water and 2 to 4 % milk solids. - it may or may not contain added salt. 2. Butter
  • 231.
    – is preferredfor baking because it tends to be fresher, and additional salt might interfere with product formulas. UNSALTED BUTTER SALTED BUTTER Is butter with up to 2.5 % salt added. This not only changes the butter’s flavor, it also extends its keeping qualities. When salted butter is used, the salt content must be considered in the total recipe.
  • 232.
    3. Margarine - Manufacturedfrom animal or vegetable fats or a combination of such fats. - Flavorings, colorings, emulsifiers, preservatives and vitamins are added, and the mixture is firmed or solidified by exposure to hydrogen gas at very high temperatures, a process known as hydrogenation. - Margarine melts at a slightly higher temperature than butter, making it useful for some rolled-in doughs such as puff pastry or Danish.
  • 233.
    4. Lard is renderedpork fat. It is a solid white product of almost 100% pure fat; it contains only a small amount of water. Lard yields flaky, flavorful pastries, such as pie crusts, but is rarely used commercially because it turns rancid quickly.
  • 235.
    Milk provides texture, flavor,volume, color and nutritional value for cooked or baked items.
  • 237.
    1. Evaporated Milk It is heated to 200F, thus most of the water is evaporated from it. It has a cooked taste.  The concentrated liquid is canned and heat- sterilized.
  • 238.
    2.Condensed Milk  Itcontains large amount of sugar (40-45%).  Is also canned; the canning process darkens the color and adds a caramel flavor
  • 239.
    3. DRY MILKPOWDER  Is made by removing virtually all the moisture from pasteurized milk.  Dry whole milk, non fat milk and buttermilk are available.
  • 240.
    - is arich, liquid milk product containing at least 18% fat. - It must be pasteurized or ultra- pasteurized and may be homogenized. - Cream has a slight yellow or ivory color and is more viscous than milk. - It is used throughout the kitchen to give flavor and body to sauces, soups and desserts. - Cream is marketed in several forms with different fat contents.
  • 241.
    1. HALF-and HALF amixture of whole milk and cream containing between 10% and 18% milk fat. It is often served with cereal or coffee, but does not contain enough fat to whip into a foam.
  • 242.
    2. LIGHT CREAM,COFFEE CREAM AND TABLE CREAM are all products with more than 18% but less than 30 % milkfat. These products are often used in baked goods or soups as well with coffee, fruit and cereal.
  • 243.
    3.LIGHT WHIPPING CREAM -or simply, whipping cream, contains between 30% and 36 % milkfat. - It is generally used for thickening and enriching sauces and making ice cream. - it can be whipped into a foam and used as a dessert topping or folded into custards or mousses to add flavor and lightness.
  • 244.
    4. HEAVY CREAM -or heavy whipping cream, contains not less than 36 percent milk fat. - It whips easily and holds its whipped texture longer than other creams. - It must be pasteurized, but is rarely homogenized. - heavy cream is used throughout the kitchen in the same ways as light whipping cream.
  • 246.
    1. Sour Cream -is produced by adding the same culture to pasteurized, homogenized light cream. - the resulting product is a white, tangy gel used to give baked goods a distinctive flavor. - must have a milkfat content o not less than 18%.
  • 247.
    2. BUTTERMILK - originallyreferred to the liquid remaining after cream was churned into butter. - buttermilk is produced by adding a culture to fresh, pasteurized skim or low-fat milk. This results in a tart milk with a thick texture.

Of this weight, the shell constitutes 11 percent; the white, 58 percent; and the yolk, 31 percent. Normally, these proportions do not vary appreciably for small or large eggs. The percentage composition of the edible portions is:
  • 255.
    One large eggis 1 2/3 oz (47.03 grams) or 9 ½ pieces per pound. One large egg yolk is 2/3 oz (18.70 grams) or 24 yolks per pound. One large egg white is 1 0z(28.33 grams) or 16 egg whites per pound.
  • 256.
    Here are somethings you must remember when dealing with eggs: Blood spots seen in an egg is harmless. Eggs will keep up to five weeks when refrigerated and only four days when unrefrigerated. Eggs kept in room temperature should be used the same day.
  • 258.
    Leavening agents cancome in block or powder form. They are usually added to the dough to enable it to rise, because leavening agents have the ability to produce carbon dioxide when exposed to heat.
  • 259.
    These agents arethe ones responsible for making your dough and cake rise. They are of two Kinds: Natural Chemical
  • 260.
    1. NATURAL These areproducts of moisture, temperature, and a food source. They produce carbon dioxide and alcohol. YEAST is a natural leavening agent. This is grown in molasses and is available in three forms:
  • 261.
    A.FRESH This is slightlydehydrated and compressed. It can be added directly to a recipe. This form is preferred by chefs because of easy handling. B. ACTIVE DRIED This is 92% dehydrated. This can keep for years, but it has to be rehydrated in 100F warm water before using.
  • 262.
    C. INSTANT This canalso be added directly to the dry ingredients, but must not come in contact with moisture before mixing.
  • 263.
    2.Chemical This kind ofleavening agent is usually in powder form and is used in the production of cakes, quick breads, and others.
  • 264.
    A.BAKING SODA This containsalkali and sodium or potassium bicarbonate. It produces carbon dioxide when it comes in contact with moisture and acid. Products made with baking soda should be baked immediately.
  • 265.
    B. BAKING POWDER Thisis baking soda plus acid and a little amount of starch which is added to prevent lumping. Baking powder has a more controlled action compared to baking soda . It reacts upon contact with moisture and then it react again when in contact with heat.
  • 266.
    EGG, AIR ANDSTEAM are also considered leavening agents because they create air or gas as well which can cause a product to rise. Some products which solely depend on these leavening agents are angel cakes and cake rolls or sheet cakes.
  • 267.
    CREAM OF TARTAR Tartaricacid with the addition of starch. Tartaric acid is derived from grapes and the reason why starch is added to tartaric acid is to prevent it from caking. Cream of Tartar is usually used in meringues. It invert sugar, whitens and stabilize egg whites, and reacts with the baking soda contained in baking powder.
  • 269.
    SALT  When usedin chocolate and caramel candies, salt heightens contrasting tastes of bitter and sweet.  In yeast dough, salt slows yeast fermentation.  Salt also strengthens the gluten structure in bread dough.  Omitting or reducing the amount of salt can cause the dough to rise too quickly, adversely affecting the shape and flavor of bread.
  • 270.
    TYPE OF SALT Culinary or table salt  Rock salt  Sea salt  Kosher salt
  • 272.

    Special Instructions: Youwill sometimes encounter additional instructions that are required to get the correct amount of the ingredient. For example, a recipe might request "1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed", or "2 heaping cups flour." If you encounter one of these special requests, consult the table below. Use a spatula or straight edge of a knife blade to level the ingredients even with the top of the cup.
  • 297.
    Brown Sugar: Spoon brownsugar into a dry measuring cup. Pack it firmly into the cup until it is level. Shortening: Spoon shortening into a dry measuring cup. Pack it firmly into the cup and level off the top.
  • 298.
    Liquids: Measure liquidsinto glass measuring cups. Get at eye level with the cup and fill it just to the measuring line. Butter: Butter sticks have tablespoon markings on the wrapper -- 8 per stick. Just cut off what you need. (Or, this is good to know: 1 stick equals 1/2 cup butter.
  • 299.
    Flour Stir flour inthe storage container or bag. Using a large spoon, lightly spoon flour from the container into the measuring cup. Do not shake the cup and do not pack the flour. Using the back of a knife or flat blade spatula, level off the flour even with the top edge of the measuring cup. Don't use the measuring cup to scoop the flour out of the container.
  • 300.
    Powdered Sugar Powdered sugarusually needs to be sifted to remove small lumps. It is measured by spooning the sugar into the measuring cup from the container, then leveling off with the back of a knife.

    Yeast  Is aliving organism, one-celled fungus  Yeast feeds on carbohydrates converting them into carbon dioxide and ethanol - fermentation  During the baking process, yeast releases gas that is trapped in the dough
  • 303.
    FERMENTATION  The processby which yeast converts sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide; it also refers to the time that yeast dough is left to rise- that is, the time it takes carbon dioxide gas cells to form and become trapped in the gluten network.

    ROLE AND PROPORTIONOF INGREDIENTS IN BREADS Proportion of Ingredients Role of Ingredient 100% Flour Flour contains the air produced by yeast because the air is contained within the gluten of the protein of the flour. 60% Liquid Water and milk are two of the many liquids which can be used in bread making. Eggs, flavorings and others are also included, thus must be considered in a dough’s liquid %. 3% Yeast Yeast serves as the leavening agent of bread. In using yeast, always remember that this agent dies at 140F
  • 316.
    2% Salt Saltis added for flavor and it also controls the reaction of the yeast. Furthermore, salt strengthens the gluten. Sugar Sugar acts as food for the yeast. It adds flavor, holds in moisture, and gives color to the crust because it caramelizes when in contact with heat. Fats (butter, shortening) Fats are added for flavor and texture. They are not added until halfway through the kneading process because they will coat the yeast; if that happens, it will stop the dough from rising.

  • 359.
    Pies vs. Tarts Pies are composed of sweet or savory fillings in baked crusts.  Pies are generally made in round, slope-sided pans.  Tarts are similar except they are made in shallow, straight- sided pans.  Tarts can be almost any shape and often have glazed fruits, piped cream or chocolate decorations.
  • 360.
    Types of Pieand Tart Doughs
  • 361.
    Dough for Crusts Three basic types of dough used for pie crust  Flaky pie dough is made by cutting fat into large, irregulars pieces  Best for pie top crusts and lattice topping  Mealy pie dough is made by cutting fat into, fine, uniform pieces. Less liquid needed  Best for fruit and custard pies  Crumb crust is made from crushed cookie or other crumbs and butter, used for cheesecakes or custard pies  Type of fat used affects dough flavor and flakiness
  • 362.
    Dough for Crusts Tarts are usually made with one of several rich doughs  Sweet tart dough (Pâte sucrée) sturdier than flaky or mealy pie dough because it contains egg yolks and is mixed thoroughly. Cookie like  Shortbread tart dough (Pâte sablée) sweet tart dough with a high percentage of fat; can be used to make buttery cookies; more fragile and difficult to handle than sweet tart dough
  • 363.
    Shaping Crusts  Crustsare shaped by rolling out the dough to fit into a pie pan or tart shell or to sit on top of fillings  Work on a clean flat surface lightly dusted with flour  Too much four makes the crust dry and crumbly.  Roll out the well-chilled dough from the center  Crusts can be filled and then baked or baked unfilled (baked blind) and then filled
  • 364.
    Fillings  Fillings makepies and tarts distinctive and flavorful.  Four types of pie fillings:  Cream  Fruit  Cooked Fruit  Cooked Juice  Baked Fruit  Custard  Chiffon
  • 365.
    Starches for Pies Select the type of starch for the desired results  Flour can be used with fruits that are not excessively juicy  Cornstarch sets up into a clear firm gel but breaks down when frozen  Tapioca withstands freezing, sets up at a lower temperature than cornstarch  Waxy maize can be frozen
  • 366.
  • 367.
    Assembling Tarts  Assemblingtarts consists of three steps:  Line shell with prepared sweet dough. Bake blind and cool completely  Prepare pastry cream, curd or other filling. Pour filling into prepared crust  Refrigerate or freeze filled tart shells until filling is set.  Tarts can be coated with a shiny topping called glaze; it adds eye appeal and protects fresh fruit from browning
  • 368.
  • 369.
    Storing Pies andTarts  Pies and tarts filled with cream or custard must be refrigerated to retard bacterial growth  Unbaked fruit pies and pie shells may be frozen 2 months  Baked fruit pies and custard pies should not be frozen
  • 370.
    Convenience Products  Preformedpie and tart shells are available in a range of sizes and styles, both raw and prebaked  Prepared pie fillings are also available in a variety of fruit and custard flavors, offering convenience, consistency and the ability to serve fruits out of season  Shelf life of these fillings tends to be extremely long, often without the need for refrigeration
  • 371.
    Pies are usuallymade up of three parts: - the crust - the filling - and the topping
  • 372.
    CRUST - the shellof a pie. - it is what contains both the filling and the topping. - it should stay crisp and dry even if it comes in contact with the juice of the fruit filling. - it should also remain sturdy when taken out of the pie tin to be able to contain the other parts of the pie. At the same time, the crust should not be too hard.
  • 374.
    FLOUR - dictates theflakiness of the crust. - If pastry flour or APF is used, it would have the proper amount of gluten to hold the product together and yet it would be so compact and hard to create the proper flake.
  • 375.
    FAT - Shortening isthe most appropriate fat to be used because it has the right plastic consistency to produce a flaky crust.
  • 376.
    LIQUID - necessary toproduce gluten in the flour, which is important in achieving flakiness. - Too much water will make the dough tough because more gluten will be produced. - Too little water will cause the crust to fall apart because not enough gluten will be produced to hold the dough together. - Liquid should always be added cold to maintain proper dough temperature

    SALT -This has sometenderizing and conditioning effects on the gluten. -It also has effects on the flavor.

    FLAKY PIE DOUGHPROCEDURE
  • 382.
    FLAKY PIE DOUGH Useas top crust and pre- baked shells MEALY PIE DOUGH Used as bottom crusts  Fat id cut or rubbed into the flour until the particles are pea- sized. This is usually done with 2 forks, 2 knives or a pastry blender. Then the liquid is added to the flour. It is then absorbed. When this dough is rolled out, the flakes flatten out and form the dough separated by fat. •The fat is incorporated with the flour in the same manner as the flaky pie dough but is blended until the texture becomes like coarse cornmeal.

    Cake Mixing Methods The goal of mixing cake batter is:  to combine ingredients uniformly  incorporate air cells  develop proper texture  Cake Mixing Methods are divided into two categories:  High fat, whose structure relies on creamed fat and includes butter cakes and high-ratio cakes  Egg foam, whose structure relies on whipped eggs and includes genoise, spongecakes, angel food and chiffon cakes

    Specific Gravity  Theamount of air incorporated into a batter relates to the quality, volume and appearance of the finished cake.  Too little air make a cake with tight grain and low volume. Too much air and the grain may be coarse.  Specific gravity will indicate if a cake batter is properly mixed.  It is a measurement of the weight of a mixture in relation to the weight of water.  Weight of ingredient / weight of water = specific gravity
  • 388.
    Panning Cake Batter Most pans must be greased or lined to prevent cakes from sticking.  Fill pans no more than one half to two thirds full.
  • 389.
    Baking and Cooling Always preheat the oven before preparing the batter.  Test for doneness:  Appearance – light golden brown; edges pull away from sides of the pan.  Touch – Springs back when lightly pressed  Cake tester – Comes out clean when inserted in center of cake.  Generally allow a cake 10 to 15 minutes in its pan set on a cooling rack after taking it out of the oven.  All cakes should be left to cool away from drafts or air currents that might cause them to collapse.

    Icings  Or frostings,are sweet decorative coatings used as filling between layers or, as coating over the top and sides of the cake.  There are several types:  Buttercream  Foam  Fudge  Fondant  Glaze  Royal icing  Ganache

    Assembling and Decorating Cakes Before a cake can be decorated it must be assembled and coated with icing or frosting.  The goal is to fill and stack the cake layers evenly and apply an even coating of icing that is smooth and free of crumbs.  Consider the flavor, texture and color of the components used as well as the number of guests served when designing a cake and selecting the filling and icing.
  • 395.
    Cake Decorating Techniques Side masking with nuts, crumbs or crushed cookies  Stencils – creating a design on top of a cake with confectioner’s sugar or cocoa powder.  Piping on icing in decorative patterns  Learning how to make a disposable icing cone from parchment-paper is a great time saver.  Covering cake with rolled fondant
  • 396.
    Storing Cakes  Plaincake layers or sheets can be stored for 2 or 3 days at room temperature when well wrapped.  Iced or chilled cakes are usually refrigerated.  Any cake containing custard filling, mousse or whipped cream must be refrigerated.  Although cakes can be frozen with great success, icings and fillings do not freeze particularly well.

    Convenience Products  Packagedcake mixes are tremendous time savers.  Results are consistent, although usually softer and more cottony than scratch cakes.  Flavor also tends to be more artificial than scratch cakes.  Icings, glazing and toppings are available.  Icings are often exceedingly sweet and overpowered by artificial flavors and chemical preservatives.  The products save time and have consistent results but are more costly than scratch products.

    Petits Fours –Miniature Pastries  Are any type of pastry small enough to be consumed in one to two mouthfuls.  Attention to detail is paramount.  Uniformity in size, shape and consistency of finishing details count a great deal for the eye appeal of petits fours.
  • 400.
    Petits Fours –Miniature Pastries  General guidelines are:  No more than one or two small bites  Represent a variety of textures and flavors  Be visually attractive  Complement whatever foods precede or accompany them without duplicating their flavors
  • 401.
    Petits Four Varieties Petit fours are divided into five broad categories based on preparation method, texture or principal ingredient:  Dry such as fragile, crunchy dainty cookies  Fresh such as tartlets filled with creams and fresh fruit  Iced such as delicate layer cakes cut into small squares  Almond such as French-style macaroons  Glazed Fruit
