1. Select Required Ingredients in Baking Bakery Product.

2. INGREDIENTS IN BAKING BREADS Filipinos have strong taste of breads. Like rice, these baked products are important in the local dining table, and are typically consumed for breakfast or snacks. Filipinos have grown to like different kinds of bread, from sweet variants that satisfy their sweet tooth cravings to savory ones. So, it is very important to learn the different ingredients for the bread recipe.

3. FLOUR Flour is a powder made by grinding raw grains or roots and used to make many different foods. It is the most important ingredient in baking. It provides structure and texture of the baked goods, including bread, cakes, cookies and pastries. To select the proper flour for each product, and to handle each correctly, you need to understand the characteristics of each type of flour.

4. TYPES OF FLOUR

5. 1. Bread flour – Bread flour is made from hard wheat has enough good-quality gluten to make it ideal for yeast breads. Bread flours typically range from 11 to 13.5% protein. 2. Cake flour – Cake flour is a weak or low-gluten flour made from soft wheat. It has a soft, smooth texture and a pure white color. Cake flour is used for cakes and other delicate baked goods that require low gluten content. Protein content of cake flour is approximately 8%.

6. 3. All-purpose flour – All-purpose flour, commonly found in retail markets, is less often found in bakeshops, although it is often used as a general-purpose flour in restaurants, where it is purchased under the name restaurant and hotel flour. This flour is formulated to be slightly weaker than bread flour so it can be used for pastries as well. All-purpose flour has a protein content of about 10 to 11.5%.

7. 4. Pastry flour -Is also a weak or low-gluten flour, but it is slightly stronger than cake flour. It has the creamy white color of bread flour rather than the pure white of cake flour. Pastry flour is used for pie dough and for some cookies, biscuits, and muffins. Pastry flour has a protein content of about 9%.

8. HAND TEST FOR FLOUR STRENGTH A typical small bakery keeps three white wheat flours on hand: cake flour, pastry flour, and a bread flour. You should be able to identify these by sight and touch, because sooner or later someone will dump a bag of flour into the wrong bin or label it incorrectly, and you will need to be able to recognize the problem.

9. • Bread flour feels slightly coarse when rubbed between the fingers. If squeezed into a lump in the hand, it falls apart as soon as the hand is opened. Its color is creamy white. • Cake flour feels very smooth and fine. It stays in a lump when squeezed in the hand. Its color is pure white.

10. Pastry flour feels smooth and fine, like cake flour, and can also be squeezed into lump. However, it has the creamy color of bread flour, not the pure white color of cake flour.

11. SUGAR - Is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. SUGAR OR SWEETENING agents have the following purposes in baking. • They add sweetness to flavor. • They create tenderness and fineness of texture, partly by weakening the gluten structure. • They give crust color. They increase keeping qualities by retaining moisture. • They act as creaming agents with fats and as foaming agents with eggs. • They provide foods for yeast.

12. We use the term sugar to refer to regular refined sugars derived from sugar canes. The chemical name for this sugar is sucrose. However, other sugar of different chemical structure are also used in the bakeshop.   Sugar belongs to a group of substances called. Carbohydrates, a group that also includes starches TYPES OF SUGAR Granulated sugar – or table sugar, is the most familiar and the most commonly used.

13. Confectioners’ sugar – are ground to a fine powder and mixed with small amount of starch (about 3%) to prevent caking. Brown sugar – is mostly sucrose (about 85 to 92%), but it also contains varying amounts of caramel, molasses, and other impurities, which give its characteristics and flavor. Basically, it is regular cane sugar that has not been completely refined Non-nutritive Sweeteners - Also known as sugar substitutes.

14. Syrups - Consist of one or more types of sugar dissolved in water, often with small amounts of other compounds or impurities that give the syrup flavor. The most basic syrup in the bakeshop, called simple syrup, is made by dissolving sucrose in water. Dessert syrup is simple syrup with added flavorings.

15. Molasses - Is concentrated sugarcane juice. Sulfured molasses is a by-product of sugar refining. It is the product that remains after most of the sugar is extracted from cane juice. Unsulfured molasses is not a by-product but a specially manufactured sugar product. It has a less bitter taste than sulfured molasses.

16. Glucose Corn Syrup - Glucose is the most common of the simple sugars (monosaccharides). In syrup form, it is an important bakeshop ingredient. Glucose is usually manufactured from cornstarch.

17. TYPES OF SUGAR Granulated sugar – or table sugar, is the most familiar and the most commonly used. Confectioners’ sugar – are ground to a fine powder and mixed with small amount of starch (about 3%) to prevent caking

18. Molasses contains large amounts of sucrose and other sugars, including invert sugar. It also contains acids, moisture, and other constituents that give it its flavor and color. Darker grades are stronger in flavor and contain less sugar than lighter grades. Molasses retains moisture in baked goods and therefore prolongs freshness. Crisp cookies made with molasses can soften quickly because the invert sugars absorb moisture from the air.

19. Brown sugar – is mostly sucrose (about 85 to 92%), but it also contains varying amounts of caramel, molasses, and other impurities, which give its characteristics and flavor. Basically, it is regular cane sugar that has not been completely refined. Non-nutritive Sweeteners - Also known as sugar substitutes. Syrups - Consist of one or more types of sugar dissolved in water, often with small amounts of other compounds or impurities that give the syrup flavor. The most basic syrup in the bakeshop, called simple syrup, is made by dissolving sucrose in water. Dessert syrup is simple syrup with added flavorings.
