TIPS RELATED FOR BREAD MAKING
A. Why cleaning is important especially in the kitchen?
- It is important to keep our kitchen clean because the food we produce is going into people’s
bodies. The possibility of getting someone sick is always and we are responsible to do whatever it
takes to maintain an environment that is safe for preparing food. Proper maintenance and regular
cleaning of our kitchen will reduce the possibility of pests, and also the cupboard space is neatly
organized as well.
B. What are the 4 essential ingredients in baking bread?
a. Flour – provides the structure in baked goods and it is used as a thickening agent
(pampalapot)
b. Yeast – is used to make bread and some other bakes products rise or leaven the dough and
give it a light, sponge-like texture. (pampaalsa)
c. Sugar – help many foods to be more palatable and help foods to last longer. (pampalasa)
d. Fats – can blend flavor, such as butter and contributes to the tenderness of a products as
it prevents flour from absorbing water. (pampalambot).
C. Why do we need to measure ingredients accurately?
- We need to measure ingredients accurately to give a baked product a good result and tastier.
Measuring ingredients precisely ensures that they are distributed evenly and that the product
tastes the same in every batch. Food scale assists processors in adhering to production
specifications and reducing the risk of producing out-of-spec products.
D. What are the methods of mixing dough?
a. Straight dough method - Straight dough is a single-mix process of making bread. The dough is
made from all fresh ingredients, and they are all placed together and combined in one
kneading or mixing session. After mixing, a bulk fermentation rest of about 1 hour or
longer occurs before division. It is also called the direct dough method.
b. modified straight dough method - The Modified Straight Dough Method is utilized for combining
enriched dough, meaning dough that contains fat, sugar, and sometimes eggs and milk.
The purpose of the modified straight dough method is to ensure an even distribution of the
fat and sugar present in the enriched dough.
c. sponge dough method - The sponge and dough method is a two-step bread-making process: in the
first step a sponge is made and allowed to ferment for some time, and in the second step
the sponge is added to the final dough's ingredients, creating the total formula.
E. Why do we need to pre-heat oven first?
- To reach the correct temperature and ensure the baked products will bake evenly.
F. What the techniques in mixing dough?
a) Sifting
b) Scaling/measuring
c) Mixing
d) Kneading
e) Punching
f) Resting
g) Proportioning
h) Rounding
i) Final Forming
j) Baking
k) Cooling
l) Storing
G. How do you handle hot pans?
- Always used potholders to avoid burns.
H. Why do you rest the dough after kneading?
- It allows the starches and the gluten to expand and fully absorb the water which makes the
dough easier to handle and can shorten the time needed to fully knead the dough.
I. How do you portion the dough?
- After kneading, form the dough into “BASTON”, used dough cutter to portion the dough and
measure 50 g.
J. Describe overmixed dough.
- When the dough is overmixed or over-kneaded it become very hard to work with and produce
a more flat and chewy bread. It’s vital to stop mixing at the first sight of over-kneading, as a
fully over-kneaded dough cannot be fixed.
K. Describe undermixed dough.
- When the dough is undermixed it become slack, wet and sticky. Difficult to process and
diminished tolerance.
L. How long should pre-heat be done?
- 10-15 minutes
M. How do you check the doneness of bread?
- The bread will pull away from the sides of the pan and will feel firm to touch. The bread with
sound hollow when you tap it lightly. The color of bread become lightly brown.
