The key Ingredients to make any Kind of cakes are: FLOUR, SUGAR, SHORTENING and EGGS. You can also add many other ingredients as your unique flavor profile like: Milk, Brown sugar, Starches, Gums, Butter, Essences, Baking powder etc 1. Which Flour to use for Bread and which for Cake? A) Generally you would want a high protein content flour for bread for proper gluten development and a lower protein content for cake to which gluten development is not so critical. B) Ideally Bread flour should contain between 11 % - 13 % protein C) And Cake flour would contain between 8 % - 9 % 2. What is the Importance of Sugar in a cake batter?
Sugar contributes to various Baking , Mixing and Eating characteristics of the cake. A) Flavor Sweetness B) Moisture Retention Extends shelf-life C) Aids in Crust color Caramelization D) Enhances Tenderness 3. What does Shortening ideally contribute to? A) All kinds of Shortenings and Oils contribute to Tenderness primarily. B) The cell structure of the cake is initiated in the mixer in the shortening called Nucleation Sites. C) However Emulsifiers are used to accomplish proper aeration. D) Flavor carriers.

4. What are Eggs used for in a cake batter? A) Eggs primarily provide structure. B) Egg Yolks give Tenderness. C) While Egg whites Contribute to toughness in the formulation. D) Eggs contain a natural emulsifier called Lecithin. E) For flavor F) Nutritional Value G) Moistener 5. What is Milk used as in a cake formulation? A) It acts as a toughener primarily because of its protein content. B)It aids to crust color because of Lactose sugar present. C) Enhances Flavor. D) Moistener E) Nutritional Value

7. Baking powder is used to give Rise & Volume to the cake structure and to soften the cake. 8. Pre Gelatinized Starches are used to Increase Batter Viscosity. 6. Water generally adds to the structure of the product and moist eating qualities. 9. Preservatives like Sorbic Acid and Potassium Sorbate are added for Shelf Life. 10. Any kind of Flavors go with cake batters , as fats are good carriers of flavors and enhances the taste greatly.

A) All Ingredients Introduced into the mixing bowl together. B) Mixing time is critical to control the cake characteristics. C) Advantages are Labor and Time saved. 2) Creaming Method A) Shortening and Sugar are aerated to degrees of lightness and fluffiness. B) Egg products gradually added creaming until light. C) Water added alternately with flour & remaining ingredients and mixed until smooth. 3) Blending Method
A) Flour and Shortening and introduced to the mixer and blended together till flour is coated with shortening. B) Add dry ingredients and portion of Liquids. C) Mix to smoothen eliminating any lumps and add the rest of the Liquid ingredients. 4) Multi-Stage Method A) All dry Ingredients are placed into the mixing bowl with the sugar and shortening first. B) The liquid ingredients are added in stages, with mixing times applied between each addition. C) Scraping after each addition is needed. 5) Sugar / Water Method A) Better Emulsification is obtained mixing sugar and water first. B) Then the rest of the ingredients are added. C) Provides Increased aeration and Reduces scraping.
CAKE MIXING
03
1 ) Single Stage Mixing
A) Dark Crust color B) Thicker Crust C) Dried Crumb D) Shorter shelf life E) Greater Bake Loss F) Increased Shrinkage 2) Too short Bake time at correct Temperature: A) Lighter crust color B) Higher Moisture content C) Top centre may collapse D) Wet streaks beneath centre tops 3) Excess Baking temperature at correct time:
A) Low volume B) Peaked centre's and possible cracks C) Darker crust color D) Moist crumb 4) Too low baking temperature at correct time: A) Excess volume B) Flatter tops C) Lighter crust color D) Greater moisture 5) How does a baker judge proper bake on his cakes? A) By touching the top centre of the cake for firmness B) By using a probe or a thermometer and sticking it into the top centre of the cake and check if it comes out dry and clean C) Wet would indicate more bake time is needed

Soak brick in water overnight. Sprinkle yeast onto 1/4 cup warm water in bowl of electric meixer fitted with a dough hook; stir to dissolve. Let stand 5 minutes. Add remaining water, 4 cups flour and salt and beat until smooth. Beat in remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until slightly sticky dough forms. Mix until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and no longer sticky, adding more flour if necessary, about 3 minutes. (Dough can also be mixed and kneaded by hand.) Grease large bowl and add dough, turning to coat surface. Cover with damp towel. Let rise at room temperature 8 hours. Punch dough down and knead on lightly floured surface until smooth, about 2 minutes. Return to greased bowl, turning to coat entire surface. Cover with damp towel and let rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 2 hours. Grease baking sheets and sprinkle with cornmeal. Punch dough down and knead on lightly floured surface until smooth, about 2 minutes. Divide into 12 pieces. Roll up jelly roll fashion, starting at one long side. Pinch seams to seal. Arrange seam side down on prepared sheets, spacing 3 inches apart. Let rise until almost doubled in volume, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 225C. Remove brick from water and place in oven. Make 3 scores in loaves. Brush with egg glaze. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven to 175C and continue baking until loaves sound hollow when tapped on bottom, about 35 minutes. Cool on racks before serving.

RYE BREAD
*images used are for representational purpose only; the recipe might not give the exact same result
05
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup water 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 2/3 cups bread flour 2/3 cup medium rye flour 1/2 teaspoon whole caraway seeds 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
PROCEDURE
Recommended cycle: Whole wheat/whole grain or basic/white bread cycle; light or medium/normal crust color setting. (If basic/white bread setting is used, add 1 tablespoon gluten to either size recipe. See adding gluten tip below. The time-bake feature can be used. Remove bread from pan, cool on wire-rack. Adding Gluten: Some bread machines have a whole wheat or whole grain cycle, which comes in handy when making whole grain breads. If your machine lacks this cycle, try adding gluten to whole wheat, whole grain, and rye bread recipes to improve loaf height, texture, and structure. Gluten is available in the health food store or if lucky in your local supermarket. Use 1 tablespoon gluten for both the 1-pound and 1.5 pound recipes.
06
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup warm water 2 packages of dry yeast 1/3 cups of 100% whole wheat flour 2 tablespoons salt 5 cups hot water 2/3 cup oil Dissolve the honey in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast on top. Do NOT stir! Set aside. In a mixer bowl, combine 7 cups of the flour with the salt, water, and oil. Blend in mixer on low speed until thoroughly mixed. Add the yeast mixture. Add the remaining 5 to 6 cups of flour, 1 cup at a time, until the dough is the consistency of cookie dough. Knead for 10 minutes on low speed. Lightly oil hands and counter top and mold dough into 4 loaves. Put into 4 large breadpans that have been greased. Cover and let rise in a warm place until the dough has increased by one-third in bulk. If you're kneading the bread by hand the dough has to be double. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. When dough has increased by one-third (or double if kneaded by hand), bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until loaves test done.
