PREPARING INGREDIENTS, TOOLS, UTENSILS, AND EQUIPMENT

FOR BAKED PRODUCTS

WHAT IS THE LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with the preparation of baking ingredients, tools,

utensils and equipment for the production of baked products based on
standard recipes. In includes the proper use of equipment and utensils and
accurate measurement of ingredients.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

LET US STUDY

Baking – is the process of cooking by indirect heat or dry heat in a

confined space as in a heated oven with the use of gas, electricity, wood,
charcoal, or oil at temperature from 250°F-450°F.

Baking can be the most fascinating experience for any person,

especially if the finished product looks good, smells good and tastes good. A
major part of success in baking depends upon the kind and quality of
ingredients used. Good quality ingredients result in good-quality baked
products.
Bread is said to be the first food created by humans. People all over
the world have been baking bread for thousands of years. Early bread was
flat, heavy and dry unlike the bread that most of us are familiar with today.
Cakes and other kinds of sweet baked foods were also among the products

5
Downloaded from www.shsph.blogspot.com
of our forebears. Evidence of this was mentioned in the Bible. Some have
even been found in Ancient Egyptian tombs.
Nowadays, bakers offer such a variety of bread and cake that one
finds it hard to choose the kind to buy. Commercial bakeshops are found in
almost every neighborhood.
Baking is not only an enjoyable activity. it can also be an easy task,
provided one must have a basic knowledge of the baking tools to use, the
correct kind and amount of ingredients, and standard recipe.

BAKING TERMS

There are different terms that will help you understand the baking process
and appreciate it as an art and science too.

Bain Marie - (French) (bahn mah-REE) - (1) A hot water bath that is used to
keep food warm on the top of a stove. It is also used to cook custards and
baked eggs in the oven without curdling or cracking and also used to hold
sauces and to clarify butter. (2) The term is also used for a cooking utensil
which is a fairly large pan (or tray) which is partly filled with water. The food
to be cooked is placed in another container so that the food is not cooked
too quickly or harshly. chocolate or bake a custard such as cheesecake.

Bake – to cook by dry heat in the oven or enclosed space.

Baker's Percentage Method - Recipe formulas for food service or when

making large quantities are expressed in percentages for more accuracy.
Then the formula is converted to pounds and ounces.

Batter – any mixture of flour, liquid, and other ingredients that is thick
enough to hold its shape when dropped from spoon or rolled out.

Beat - To mix rapidly, smoothing the ingredients and adding air, using a
wire whisk, electric hand mixer or stand mixer.

Choux Pastry - (shoo) - derives from the French work "chou" which means
"cabbage." It was used to describe layered pastry, as the layers were thought
to resemble the leaves of cabbage. It is a kind of pastry made from smooth
dough consisting of flour, water, salt, butter, eggs, and sometimes sugar.
This pastry is used for cream puffs, éclairs, beignets, and other dishes
requiring a puff pastry.

Cream – to rub, mash, or work shortening against the side of the bowl with
back of the spoon until it is smooth and creamy.

Cream of Tartar - Common name for potassium bitartrate, a by-product of
wine-making. It is a major ingredient in baking powder and is used to
stabilize beaten egg whites.

Custard - is a combination of eggs and milk which may be sweetened or

unsweetened, cooked in a double boiler (as soft custard), or baked (which
gives it a jelly-like consistency). Custards require slow cooking and gentle
heat in order to prevent separation (curdling).

Cut and fold - a combination of two motions - to cut vertically through

mixture and to turn over by sliding tool across bottom of mixing bowl at
each turn. Proper folding prevents loss of air.

Cut In – to combine shortening and flour mixture until particles are

pea size enough to be used when making biscuits or pastry,
using a blender or two forks.

Whip – to beat rapidly with beater or mixer to incorporate air and

increase volume. Egg white, cream, and gelatin mixtures are
often whipped.

Fold – to combine delicate ingredients such as beaten egg white or

whipped cream with other mixture without losing air that has
been beaten in.

Sift – to pass dry ingredients through a sifter.

Grease – rub a pan or griddle with a thin layer of shortening or oil to

prevent sticking.

Dough – any mixture of flour, liquid, and other ingredients that is thick
enough to hold its shape and desired thickness

Knead – to work stiff dough by pushing with the heel of the hand,
folding it over until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Dredge – to sprinkle or coat with flour.

Puree – a thick mixture made from a pureed vegetable base.

Roux – a cooked mixture of flour and butter.

Stir – to mix food materials in a circular motion to blend thoroughly.

Confectioner’s sugar – also called icing or powdered sugar. It is
granulated that has been pulverized.

Fold – to combine by using two motions, cutting vertically through

the mixture turning over by sliding the spoon across the
bottom of a mixing bowl with each turn.

Milk bread – a white wheat bread in which either all of the liquid is
milk or it contains not less than 8.8 parts (by weight) of
milk solids for each 100 parts of flour (by weight)

BASIC INGREDIENTS USED IN BAKING

 Flour

Baking flour contributes body and structure, texture

and flavor to baked goods.

 Sugar

Sugar is used as sweetener, for tenderness, texture,

color and acts as a preservative.

 Egg

Eggs provide leavening; add color, texture, flavor,

and richness to the batter. They are very important
in helping to bind all the other ingredients together.
Beaten eggs are leavening agent as they incorporate
air into the batter, which will expand in the oven
and cause the cake to rise.

 Butter, margarine, or other shortening

Fats used in baking to tenderize the product by

shortening gluten strands.

13
Downloaded from www.shsph.blogspot.com

LEAVENING AGENTS

 Baking powder and baking soda

Both baking powder and baking soda are chemical

leavening agents that cause batter to rise when baked.
The leavener enlarges the bubbles which are already
present in the batter produced through creaming of
ingredients.

 Yeast
Baker`s yeasts, like baking powder and baking
soda, is used to leavened baked goods. The
difference between these two leaveners is that
baking powder/soda reacts chemically to
produce the carbon dioxide that makes the
baked goods rise. Yeast, on the other hand, is a
living organism and the carbon dioxide it
produces is the result of the yeasts feeding on
the dough.
The two forms of baker`s yeast are;
compressed/fresh yeast and dehydrated
granules/dry yeast.

 Liquid – necessary for hydrating flour proteins;

such as milk, juices and coconut milk.

 Salt improves the flavor of yeast breads and

retards yeast activity.

How to Measure Ingredients

The accurate measurement of ingredients is important to assure good

results. There is a particular measuring cup and spoon for dry and liquid
ingredients.

Measuring Dry Ingredients

Sift flour and other dry ingredients

before measuring them. Fill the cup or spoon
until full. Do not shake or tap the cup. Level
off the cup of flour with a spatula.
Since most recipes call for packed
brown sugar, press it firmly into the cup.

Measuring Shortening, Butter, and

Mayonnaise

Pack the shortening into the cup so

that all air spaces are pressed out. Level off
the cup with a spatula.

Measuring Liquids

Use measuring cups for liquids. Always check the measurement at eye
level. When measuring a thick liquid lightly grease the measuring cups.
