Definition of Terms
Term Explanation
Acidity Sourness is the taste caused by the presence of acids in
solution. Different types of fermentation produce different acids.
When milk sours, lactic acid is formed, and when vinegar is
made from apples or grain, ascetic acid is formed. Sour rye
bread is made by the addition of sours or ferments containing
bacteria, which produce various acids, but mostly lactic and
ascetic.
Term Explanation
Alcohol The alcohol formed during the fermentation of sugar by yeast is
ethyl alcohol, the same alcohol found in beer and whisky
(chemically known as ethanol)
Ambient Temperature of the surrounding area, room temperature

Information sheet 1.1-1
1. Select required commodities according to recipe and

production requirements
Flour
Wheat is the prime grain that flour is obtained from for the baking industry. White flour is
the most popular flour. This is because other parts of the wheat grain are harsh and are
unpopular with the general public. This is not to say they are not good to eat.
The following information relates to dough’s for bread and yeast goods, not pastry.
Flour consists of the following elements on average:
Starch 64 – 71%
Protein 9 – 14%
Sugar 2 – 4%
Moisture 11 – 15%
Fat 1 – 2%
Enzymes naturally occurring in wheat
flour
STARCH 64% – 71%, provides main body structure through gelatinisation – bursts
(through heat) and swell.
 Starch is broken down by enzymes into simple sugars, which are to be used by
yeast as food.
PROTEINS Soluble: 9 – 14%

 Gluten is formed when insoluble proteins (Glutenin and Gliadin) are hydrated with
moisture, normally water.
 The combination of these two proteins allows the flour to ‘take up’ water and hold
the moisture within the gluten structure. When this gluten is developed it becomes
tough and elastic allowing bread dough to expand and hold gas produced during
fermentation
In unleavened dough like pastry this gluten structure allows for it to be stretched out over
a large area without breaking.
 It is grey, tasteless and is tough and slightly elastic.

 Glutenin - gives strength.
 Gliadin - provides elasticity.
SOLUBLE PROTEINS: 1% –2%, Albumin, Globulin and Protease.
SUGAR
Sucrose 2 – 4%: all plant material naturally contains sugar.
1.5 – 2% is sufficient for gas production up to 5 hours (Bulk
Ferment Time) plus glucose, plus dextrose (inversion of cane
sugar).
If flour is low in these sugars, malt can be added to formulae, to
allow longer Bulk Fermentation Times. (BFT)
MOISTURE 11 – 15%
The natural proportion of water depends on conditions of growth, storage and milling.
Wheat is a hard grain and needs to be soaked in water to aid the milling process.
There are laws pertaining to the amount of moisture allowed in flour. In Australia it
cannot be more than 15%.
FAT 1– 2%; this contains carotene, the colouring pigment of flour.
ENZYMES
Diastatic – Amylase change starch in sugars.
Proteolytic – Conditions the proteins
Responsible to soften the gluten, dough tolerance is reduced and could cause collapsing
of the bread, especially in wholemeal products.
Factors influencing flour behavior:

Quantity and quality of gluten
Diastatic capacity, the ability to change starch into sugars to provide food for the yeast to
ferment through enzymatic activity.
Salt
Salt is a natural mineral that consists of 6 parts chlorine and
4 parts sodium.
Functions of Salt are:
 Controls fermentation
 Toughens gluten (stabilising it)
 Increases volume
 Enhances flavours in bread and provides product with its characteristic flavour
 Controls dough – lack of salt results in dough’s which are sticky and are difficult to
handle
 Increases shelf life: acts as an antiseptic - suppresses activity of bacteria, is
hydroscopic – attracts moisture
 Improves crust colour.
Yeast
Baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is manufactured specially for
the production of Yeast Goods.
It is a unicellular organism yet each microscopic cell contains a
multitude of enzymes capable of carrying out the most intricate series
of chemical reactions.
Because it is a living organism, baker’s yeast is very perishable and must have optimum
storage conditions.
 Compressed yeast should be stored in dark and cool conditions; it is best used for
up to two weeks after manufacture, as it slowly loses its strength.
 Yeast produces carbon dioxide and Ethyl alcohol, by changing sugars.
 The activity of yeast is destroyed at temperatures above 55°C. and may be
severely impaired at temperatures over 45°C.
Production of Flavour
Imparts flavours during fermentation through flavour substances such as organic acids,
esters, alcohols and ketones.
Nutrition
Yeast is rich in protein and B Vitamins. It must not come
into direct contact with salt, sugar or fat.
Available Forms of Yeast

 Compressed
 Dried
 Creamed or liquid.
Rate of Fermentation and Yeast Activity
These are controlled by the following:

Sugar quantity:
Up to 5.0% speeds up fermentation
Over 5.0% slows down or retards fermentation
Water added to the dough:

More water makes softer doughs - faster rate
Less water makes tighter doughs - slower rate
Dough temperature:
The warmer the dough temperature, faster rate of fermentation
The cooler the dough temperature the slower the rate of
fermentation
Acidity:
4 – 6pH range. Outside these, activity is slower
Yeast Quantity:
Lower quantities of yeast will result in longer proof.
Amounts of salt and fat also inhibit the rate of fermentation or the activity of yeast.
Remember: yeast is a living thing. It needs to be cared for and used properly.
Water
 Hydrates gluten forming proteins (Gliadin and
Glutenin)
 Dissolves and disperses salt and sugars and carries
sugars to the yeast which it can only use in liquid
form
 Provides moisture for yeast to grow
 Hydrates dry yeast and disperses both dry and compressed
 Controls dough temperature
 Controls dough consistency
 Wets and swells starch during baking (gelatinisation) – makes it available to
analyse enzymes
 Controls enzyme activity (enzymes are active only in liquid or semi liquid
mediums)
 Increases shelf life
 Contributes to eating qualities.
Bread Improvers
 Ensures additional food supply for yeast
 Contains malt which is changed into maltose and changes starch into simple
sugar easily fermentable by yeast
 Contains chemical stimulants ensuring adequate source of nitrogen– essential for
building up protein in newly forming yeast cells
 Modifies gluten so that the dough is mature as it comes from the mixer. This is
required to hold increased CO2 Gas produced by the fermenting yeast.
Dough Improvers basically assist in 2 areas –

GAS PRODUCTION
GAS RETENTION
This is what makes a yeast dough rise.
Optional ingredients and their functions
Milk powder Malt products

Soya flour Emulsified fats
Margarine Shortening
Currants Bran
Nuts Gluten (dry/wet )
Bacon Mould inhibitors
Jams Egg
Honey Seeds
Sultanas Coconut
Cheese Mixed peel
Spices Crumb softeners
Various grains Sugar
These extra ingredients may be added to a basic yeast formula to improve product
qualities in the following areas:
 Improve eating qualities
 Add nutritional value
 Add visual appeal
 Improve keeping qualities
 Add and improve flavour.
Fats
Fats are added in varying proportions to bread and yeast goods. The % below are just
an indicative amount.
Fat is a generic term; it can mean oil, butter, margarine, shortening. Each have their own
advantages and disadvantages, cost and flavour benefits. Storage requirements also are
important.
Level:
 Bread, normal 2%
 Buns 5 – 7%
 Fruit Loavel 9– 15%
 Croissants 45%
 Brioche up to 50%
The addition of fat to Yeast Goods will improve bread quality

and although fat is not an essential ingredient, it is important
in assisting the slicing of the product, especially when slicing bread, by lubricating the
slicer blades.
Fat contributes to the volume, softer texture, brighter crumb colour and better keeping
qualities. There are many fats available to baking industry and some are specially
manufactured to contain other compounds such as emulsifiers (TEM and SSL). Some
fats contain sugar and others may contain water.
It should always be remembered that butter provides better flavour to the product when
deciding upon what type of fat to use.
Effects of fat
 Improves slicing
 Softer crumb
 Shorter eating crumb
 softer crust
 Better keeping qualities
 Increases volume
 Shorter eating crust
 Emulsified fats retard crumb
 Enhances firmness.
Sugar
Level:
Up to 5% increases fermentation
Over 5% retards fermentation.
Effects of sugar
 Softens crumb
 Sweetens
 Increases crust and whiter crumb colour
 Increased levels slacken or weaken the dough
 Greater water retention (stays moist, therefore better shelf-life)
 Better eating qualities, but high quantities result in bread flavour loss.
Milk Powder
Level:
“Food Standards” stipulate that Milk Bread must contain 4% non-fat milk solids on the
dry crumb.
The purpose of this regulation is to increase the food value in protein and mineral
content, therefore Skim Milk Powder (reduced fat) is mostly used.
Effects of Milk Powder in the baked products:

 Brighter and softer crumb
 Reddish brown (foxy) crust colour, due to lactose (milk
sugar), which cannot be used by yeast as food
 Increased nutritional value and flavour
 Greater volume (due to strengthening of gluten strands by
the case in protein)
 Slight sweetness (due to lactose).
Eggs
 Eggs can be purchased as follows:
 Shell Egg
 Liquid Egg or Egg Pulp
 Frozen Egg
Effects of eggs
 Moistening
 Enriching due to fat in the yolk
 Increased nutritional value
 Emulsifying, due to lecithin in the yolk, therefore better keeping qualities
 aids structure, due to the proteins, which coagulate at 65 to 70 oC
 Better colour and appearance to baked product
 Better eating qualities
 Better keeping.
As egg is added to formulae, water has to decrease (in re-
formulations)
Bran
Bran is the by-product of the brake system after all the available endosperm has been
removed. Bran can vary in particle size and composition, depending on both wheat type
and the efficiency of the milling system. Some bran is sold for Human Consumption as it
is a good source of insoluble dietary fibre.
Effects of Bran
 Darker crumb colour
 Lower volume, due to the non-gluten forming
proteins
 Increased water levels
 Shorter mixing times
 Higher fibre intake, assisting in bowel function.
Dried Fruit
 Dried fruits evolved as a way of preserving excess fruits
when they were in abundance to be enjoyed when fruits
were not readily available because of the season.
 European seasons are extreme so little food is grown in
winter. Drying of fruits made them available for Christmas
and Easter celebrations.
 Almost any dried fruit or nut can be added to yeast goods.
 Most commonly dried fruits used are sultanas, currants, raisins, mixed peel and
dates.
 All fruit should be washed prior to use and then thoroughly dried, to avoid
discolouration of the dough.
Nuts
The most commonly used nuts are hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds and peanuts.
Nuts have a very high fat content. Large amounts used in bread making need the
addition of extra yeast and also extra gluten.
Effects of dried fruits and nuts

 Eating qualities
 Texture
 flavour
 Colour
 Increased moisture
 Increased shelf life
 Better visual appeal.
2. Prepare a variety of yeast goods to desired product

characteristics
Variety of Yeast Goods

Yeast goods are defined as a sweet dough product. Bread is produced with yeast and is
the savoury version.
A sweet yeast product would be any dough with more than 5%
sugar and increased levels of fat.
Some plain dough’s that are served with savoury products like a
hamburger is actually a ‘bun’ and not a ‘roll’.
Many products are classed as yeast goods.
Activity 1
The student should research the following and find required information
Evolutions of the product Was it:
 Cultural?
 Religious?
 Commemoration of an event?
Very few products were just invented. They evolve over time.
In the modern world customers crave variety and producers are able to introduce new
varieties from other countries very easily.
Baba Bienenstich Brioche Buchty

Chelsea bun Cholla Colomba di pasqua Croissant
Doughnut Gugelhof Hot Cross buns Panettone
Pignoli Streauselkuchen Stollen Savarin
Panatone
This delicate and porous rich festive bread is studded with sultanas and flavoured with
candied citrus peel.
It is baked in tall cylindrical moulds and can be served with cream or fresh mascarpone.
To develop rich yeasty flavours, the dough is sometimes prepared in several stages with
prolonged maturing times in between.
Gingerbread dough’s
This dough is multipurpose dough and can be used for a variety of products. By adding
different spices and/or fruit, different shapes can be given or cut out and after baking
coated with icings or chocolate. The dough is also suited for
making gingerbread houses.
It is important not to overheat the honey at the initial stage, as it may crystallise,
rendering it useless for the dough. The honey is best heated to 65°C, then allowed to
cool to 35°–40°C, to avoid burning the flour.
The flavour of the gingerbread will improve if the dough is prepared well ahead of use,
adding the raising (lifting) agents only just prior to using the dough.
Always use quality spices in order to achieve optimum flavour.
Gingerbread dough is baked at 180°C.
Honey cake (Israel)

This cake is traditionally served on the Sabbath and at festivals,
particularly at the beginning of the New Year, in order to sweeten
the hope for a happy year ahead.
Tsoureki (Greece)
This traditional sweet bread can be found during any major religious festival.
Its flavouring components can be many, as each family or baking professional have their
own favourite.
Most popular are orange, lemon, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice,
aniseed, cloves and mace, either singly or in any combination.
The traditional shape is a round or braided loaf.
To simplify cutting and storing (it keeps for up to one week), the
dough can also be formed into long loaves. Cut into slices and
toasted is a popular way of serving this bread.
Stollen (Germany)
A product popular in many European countries around
Christmas time and originating from Germany, stollen is made
from a heavy (rich in fat) yeast dough.
Some varieties contain mainly sultanas (and some candied
peel) and almonds, others almonds only or a poppy seed or
nut filling.
The cleaned sultanas are usually steeped in rum for enhanced flavour. So as not to
break or damage the fruit, they are worked under the dough last.
A somewhat tighter ferment is worked with the other ingredients to a dough, which
should also on the firm side. This hinders the flattening out (losing the intended
traditional shape) of the stollen during baking.
For uniformity and better control of the shape, special stollen moulds (tins) can be used.
After resting the dough, it is scaled into intended portion sizes and moulded round, then
worked into a roll with flat ends. Your Trainer can demonstrate the shaping of a stollen.
Baba and Savarin

Babas and savarins are very light and soft sweet yeast products, oval shaped for babas
and flat round circle shaped for Savarins. As the sponge is very soft and runny it is
preferred to use a piping bag to fill it into the special moulds.
After baking it is soaked with stock syrup and/or rum, then glazed with apricot jam and
decorated.
Babas and Savarins are usually served as dessert or for afternoon tea.
Danish Pastries
These pastries are made with yeast dough laminated with butter (or other fats), then
turns given similar to puff paste, resulting in light and crisp pastries. They are produced
in many different shapes and sizes with a variety of fillings and toppings.
Fillings used may be custard, jam, cheese, fruit, poppy seed, marzipan and nuts with the
possible addition of dried fruit and candied peel.
Croissants:
Crescent shaped pastries of delicate, flaky structure prepared from laminated yeast
dough.
Croissants are consumed plain or filled (sweet or savoury) or cut open and filled with
meats, cheese and/or salads (snacks, light meals).
Brioche
Yeast dough rich in butter and eggs, traditionally in the shape of a large ball with a
smaller one on top. Its smooth, delicate crumb structure is directly related to the high
content of butter and eggs.
Brioche is very versatile and can be made in a variety of shapes, some versions with
added dried fruit.
Served at breakfast (individual or toasted slices), as an entree (with a savoury filling or
as an accompaniment), as a dessert (filled with cream, mousse and/or fruit), as a lining
for charlottes or for covering pies and meat and fish dishes.
Buchty
Buchty is a fine flavoured egg and butter enriched breakfast treat, very similar to brioche.
It can be either eaten with cured meat or jams, toasted or plain. Buchty is often used in
airline catering due to its long shelf life and due to the fact that it is suitable for any meal.
Common practice is:

 To batch buchty on trays, same way as for scones, this makes them very similar
to scones as there is mostly no side crust with the exception of the sides of the
tray.
3. Produce a variety of yeast goods according to standard recipes

and enterprise standards
Fruited yeast products and buns
Europe is the origin of most of the specialty products. Each of the products has a history
and also reasons, apart from the eating qualities, why it was created and why it is still
produced today.
The standard recipe for buns and fruit buns was usually the basis for many products, and
is still regarded by many as a suitable medium for a range of popular products such as
buns, fingers, scrolls, loaves and large items such as Boston buns.
Although the fermentation process is still the means of aeration, formulae and ingredient
specifications for the above products vary somewhat from bread.
Variations in ingredient quantities influence the fermentation process greatly, particularly
fat and sugar levels.
As these both can have a detrimental effect on fermentation, more yeast is usually
required.
Traditionally, religion has played an important part in development of ‘special’ products.
Yeast goods containing dried fruits would be produced in seasons such as Christmas
and Easter. These are Christian religious festivals and when something special is to be
produced extra special ingredients should be used.
Dried fruits were developed as a way of preserving in times
of plenty to be used when fresh fruits were not available;
Christmas and Easter are ideal times to use these
expensive dried fruits.
The range of product varieties available has been greatly
influenced by the demand for European products
Speciality Yeast Goods
Stollen, Easter Plaits, Pignoli, Three Kings Cake, Panatone, 1st of August Bread,
Pinca, Colomba
These speciality products are usually sold only on special occasions like Christmas,
Easter and New Year’s Day
All these products are very common in Europe and have religious tradition, mostly
Catholic or Jewish.
On Easter, for example after Lent (period of abstinence), a full flavoured rich bread was
given with ingredients which were not allowed during Lent (pignoli)
Usually specialty sweet yeast products are very rich because of large amounts of butter
and fruit used.
Due to the richness of the specialty products, a sponge or ferment is used rather than a
no time dough as fat and/or acids retard the yeast. In some recipes a sour dough is even
used to ensure fermentation (Panatone).
Special ingredient functions
Fats
The degree of richness of fruited yeast products and buns is
determined to a great extent by their ratio of fat, which affects their
flavour, crumb texture and storage life. A good quality cake
margarine or other emulsified fat is most suitable
When using the ‘instant’ dough process, an improver that is
specifically designed for this process will give the best results.
Sugar
The proportion of sugar added usually depends on the type of product, and in particular
depends on, the amount of dried fruit used, as this also greatly influences the sweetness
of the product. Caster sugar is the best choice for most dough’s because it dissolves far
more readily during the mixing process.
Perhaps the most important factor relating to the amount of sugar in
the dough formula is its effect on yeast activity and the final prove rate.
Sugar addition above 5% of flour weight may slow fermentation
appreciably, while more than 10% sugar will require the maximum
yeast quantity in the dough.
Because sugar is hygroscopic it tends to rapidly absorb dough water
therefore depriving the yeast of the moisture required to dissolve the sugars on which it
feeds.
Naturally, this affects the proving process as well.
Fruit
Dried fruits should be washed and well-drained before added to
dough’s.
This will reduce water absorption from the dough, increase yield,
improve eating quality, and increase volume by producing more
steam in the product during baking.
Gluten
The addition of heavy fruits to doughs can have a detrimental
effect on the shape of the finished product. Gluten can be added
to strengthen the dough structure to produce a more bolder
product.
Excess sugar can also affect the dough structure so extra gluten
will help this effect as well.
Production
Water temperature for required Finish Dough Temperature
(FDT)
The ideal FDT for no-time, rapid or instant dough’s is 27°–29°C.
The variation of water temperature is known as your experience
figure because the required water temperature to finish dough at a
pre-determined figure is based on bakery conditions and the baker’s
experience. These include:
1. Climatic conditions
2. Bake house environment
3. Dough size
4. Mixer speed
5. Flour temperature
6. Mixing time
7. Specialty ingredient additions–gluten, conditioners, etc.
8. Experience.
Note: In subsequent topics, students should refer back to these notes when calculating
dough quantity and required water temperature for FDT.
Calculating required water temperature for required dough temperature
Example:
Required FDT 31ºC

Dough yield calculations

When bakers talk about a ‘1 kilogram’ dough, this weight actually applies to the flour
content of the dough only.
When all the other ingredients are added, the total dough weight is referred to as the
expected yield (from 1 kilo of flour).
TOTAL DOUGH WEIGHT = EXPECTED YIELD

In calculating the ingredient weights for a given amount of
dough (the required yield) we use the expected dough yield
from1 kilo of flour using the following formula:
New base weight of flour = required yield/expected

yield
Example: Use the following dough formula to calculate the actual quantities of
ingredients for the required yield.
Ingredient % 1kg Factor Required
Flour 100 1.000 4.1 4.100
Salt 2 0.020 4.1 .082
Improver 1 0.010 4.1 .041
Yeast 4 0.040 4.1 .164
Water 60 0.600 4.1 2.460
Total 1.670 6.847
Expected Yield Total Dough Weight
F.D.T.27 degrees C. Finished Dough Temperature
Required yield is the number of units to be produced multiplied by the scaled

unbaked weight:
3 units @ a scaled weight of 0.520 kg (3 x 0.520 = 1.560 kg)
Gives the total Required yield (dough weight) = 6.760 kg
New base weight of flour = required yield / expected yield
= 6.760 ÷ 1.670 = 4.047904 factor Round up to = 4.1 factor
Apply factor 4.1 to all ingredients 4.1 x 1.000kg flour = 4.100
Add up the new recipe and the total weight should be sufficient to produce the required
dough weight.
Dough making process
Modern production of dough’s varies from country to country. Most are based on the
rapid dough system where additives like dough improvers are added to speed up the
process of fermentation.
Here we will discuss two dough making processes
 Rapid or ‘no time’ process (ADD Process)
 Ferment and dough process.
Both work well and should be considered when deciding what dough
is going to be used.
Activated Dough Development Process

Rapid Dough (ADD Process)
 Mix all ingredients including the addition of an A.D.D. bread improver until
the gluten protein is well developed.
 Rest for +/- 10-30 minutes (covered to prevent skinning or
chilling)
 Process as usual.
Effects of the ADD process

 Yeast level from 3% upwards, depending on size of
product
 Requires A.D.D. bread improver
 Warmer dough temperatures 28 – 30ºC. Gluten strengtheners are used to
enable the process to be effective.
 The gluten structure is modified by chemicals to produce a mature dough
as it is taken from the machine
 Ascorbic Acid strengthens (matures)
 L Cysteine or Metabisulphite softens (mellows)
 Space Saving - dough room/mixing area
 Increased bread yield – doughs do not slacken and
can include more water as well as no fermentation
weight loss.
 Divider accuracy improved – less gas evolution than in other types of
dough
 If processing equipment breaks down there is less loss due to only one
dough being in process at a time. In B.F.P. doughs there will be a number
of doughs in fermentation at the same time
 Labour Saving, due to production efficiency and no
Knock Back and BFT
 Loss of flavour, due to the production process
 Increased cost of products (improver).
Ferment and dough process

Normally used to raise enriched breads, with high quantities of sugar and fat. Ferment
provides ideal conditions for yeast to multiply before adding the sugar to the dough.
Using the F&D process overcomes the retarding effect of fat and sugar on yeast.
FERMENT DOUGH
Made in
two stages
Stage 1: Stage 2:
Contains: Process to a
dough with
20% of the flour Add Ferment remaining
All water ingredients:
All yeast
Up to 5% sugar
Ferment for 30
minutes,
(doubled in size)
After Bulk
fermentation
(doubled in size),
dough is ready to
be
scaled off
Effects of the Ferment and Dough process

 Fast fermentation, due to ideal conditions in the ferment
 No improver required
 No need for special equipment
 Improved flavour, colour, volume and texture
 Maturing is natural and takes place by the enzymic
activity in the ferment
 Loss of yield, due to moisture loss during fermentation
 More space is required for fermentation in the dough
room
 Increased production cost, due to two mixes.
Setting a Ferment
1. Disperse yeast in water, whisking vigorously to break down lumps. Add small
sugar to stimulate the yeast
2. Mix in flour, mixing to produce a smooth batter then whisk to aerate to stimulate
the action of the yeast.
3. Cover and allow to rest in warm environment 32°C
for approximately 25-35 mins
4. Allow the ferment to stand until it begins to fall
away (starts to sink in the middle). This will take
approximately 25 minutes depending on the
environment.
5. For many years the ferment and dough method
was traditional because it ensured a thorough
ripening of the dough, particularly when slower
types of yeast were used.
6. Yeast requires Dextrose sugar (Glucose) before it
can ferment, but because it contains enzymes
which are capable of changing both Cane sugar
(Sucrose) and Malt sugar (Maltose) into dextrose, almost any sweet material
(except milk sugar) can act as a food material.
Wheat flour contains 2.5% of these sugars, so any flour, water and yeast mixture will
ferment.
Important to note:
The optimum is approximately 12.5%;anything above this will have a retarding effect on
the dough.
When dough’s are made with high sugar levels additional yeast must be used.
This is the experience component.
Remember: Yeast is a living organism, nothing is constant.
Remember
The fermentation stage is when a lot of the dough flavour is developed so choice of
method is important.
For dough’s that have large amounts of ingredients that retard the growth of the yeast,
the ferment method is better for flavour development.
Dough mixing
This dough’s need to be well developed before the fruit is added.
Do not mix excessively after adding the fruit, as this may cause
the fruit to break up, particularly if it has been washed
Rest period
A recovery time of approximately 10 minutes following mixing will ensure that the dough
is suitable for processing
Moulding
The dough pieces should be adequately moulded and/or rolled. However excessive
handling will produce roughly finished products.
Baking pans and trays

There are two options for tray or pan preparation. Trays and pans
may be well-greased with animal or vegetable oil, or lined with
silicone paper.
However baked products should be removed from paper before
glazing.
Final prove
A temperature of 30° – 40°C with a relative humidity (RH) of 80 – 85% to prevent
skinning is recommended.
Excessive steam in the final proves will cause the formation of a tough, leathery crust
and should be avoided at all times.
Over-proving weakens the dough structure and could cause it to collapse in the oven
Baking
Due to the high sugar content, an oven temperature of approximately 190° – 210°C is
usually most suitable for buns and loaves.
To prevent the crust toughening and the possible collapse of the products, steam
injection should not be used.
Buns should only be baked enough to prevent collapse or shrinkage
after removal from the oven.
The shiny surface usually associated with this type of product is best
obtained by washing immediately after baking with a sugar syrup or
bun wash
Bun wash or glaze

Water and sugar syrup may be used with the addition of 25g per litre of powdered
gelatine.
This will prevent excessive stickiness, which causes most packaging problems.
As the dry, shiny surface is dependent on the evaporation of the moisture in the wash
and the subsequent increase in viscosity of the sugar solution, it is important to apply the
hot wash immediately after removing the product from the oven.
Decoration
Decoration will be similar but slightly different for each product. Moist yeast product is
produced to be consumed on the day or soon after being produced.
4. Use appropriate equipment to prepare and bake yeast goods
Ovens
Bakery goods are baked in special ovens with a large flat base. Sometimes they will be
brick for breads but for pastries you need an oven with more versatile heating elements.
There is much better and wider choice with modern ovens. There are deck ovens,
electric, gas and wood fired.
There are rack ovens that will take an entire rack full of trays. These
will pick a rack up off the floor and rotate the rack in the oven. They
are fan forced which distributes the heat better throughout the oven.
Brick floored electric ovens have been notorious with irregular heat
on base with ‘hot spots’ and ‘cold spots’ in the ovens.
Proofer and Retarders

These are enclosed areas where the moulded dough is placed to prove.
Prove: The meaning is: if the dough rises then it has proved to be good.
Warm environment with high humidity is required as this will allow the yeast to reproduce
and make the dough rise and increase in size.
Modern proofers will also retard.
Retarders:
This is a chilled environment with high humidity that will hold the dough and not allow the
yeast to grow.
Modern proofer/retarders will work together, hold the raw
dough in a chilled environment and then will turn off the
chilling and turn on the heater and allow the yeast to grow,
expand the dough to its full capacity, ready to bake.
This oven can take trays with built in rack or will take an entire
rack as shown in photo.
Mixers
Spiral Dough mixer Planetary Mixer
Bun Dividers and roller Baking Deck oven

5. Use correct techniques to produce yeast goods to enterprise
standards
When a customer purchases a product from bakery it is based on two reasons:

 They like the look of the product; visual stimulation
 They purchased before and want the same thing again.
If the product is not consistent then the customer will not be satisfied and will then
complain.
Consistency in product manufacture is achieved by the following:

 Correct weighing of Ingredients
 Formula balance
 Bakery products are consistent when formula
balance is maintained
 Scaling weights accurately
 Mixing the dough/batter the same every time
 Cutting or weighing to correct size
 Moulding to correct shape
 Baking the same every time.
These are the skills and techniques that will return a consistent bakery product every
time.
After baking, the product might need to be cut again into portions.
Everything must look the same

Then, when all is ready for sale, everything must be
sold the same way:
Either:
 By portion, each individually
 By weight, kilogram or gram.
Recipe for good baking

 Weigh all ingredients. Do not measure them. What is the difference?
 Weight is measured by scaling ingredients on the same set of weighing
scales
 Measuring is done with cups and is by volume.
Weight is inconsistent each time.
Example
 1 kilo weighs 1 kilo
 200gm weighs 200gm
 1 cup of water measures 250ml, it weighs 250 gm.
But
1 cup of flour measures 250 ml but it weighs 120gm – 150gm depending on several
factors
Let’s deal with the weight difference.
Volume measuring by cup is good but the density of each ingredient is different so you
get a different weight from each ingredient.
Water weight is the same as volume; 1 kilo measures 1 litre; 1 litre weighs 1 kilo.
Dry Ingredients all have a different density so therefore the weight of the same volume is
different. For example: 1 cup weighs?
Sugar 225gm Flour 150gm Almonds 120gm

Whole
Rice, 220gm Honey 375gm Almonds, 125gm

uncooked ground
The standard for measuring one cup volume: level to

top of cup, not packed.
Consistency of results in baking comes with consistent
measurements: WEIGH!
6. Bake yeast goods to enterprise

requirements and standards
Product characteristics that customers look for come from the following:
1. Colour of the product when it is finally removed from the oven is important to the
visual appeal of the product. Colour stimulates the senses and encourages the
customer to purchase.
2. Appearance is about form and shape. It is important that all

pieces have the same appearance.
3. Consistency and texture is about how it feels in the mouth when the customer is
consuming the product
4. Moisture content adds to the shelf life and mouth feel of the product.
5. Mouth feel and eating properties.
This is achieved by maintaining consistency of production. Nobody is allowed to move

away from the given formula, shape or design.
Enterprise standards will vary from enterprise to enterprise. Consistency is the key to
retaining customers.
Buns plain and fruited buns and scrolls

When proving they need to is 75% to 90% proofed before being placed into the oven.
When baked they should have a dark golden brown colour and when glazed with sugar
syrup upon removal from the oven this will impart a pleasing
gloss to the product.
If the product has spread while baking and appears wider at the
base it means that the product was over proofed before being
placed into the oven.
Danish pastry
These pastries will have a golden colour when baked due to
lower sugar content in dough.
The shape should be ‘contained’ in the shape in which they
were moulded.
Croissant
Golden brown finish with a light flaky texture. When squeezed they should give a crunch.
When cut the texture should be open and irregular in shape
Baba and Savarin
These will have a closed texture that will open up as the pieces are soaked in flavoured
sugar syrup before serving.
Stollen
Stollen is a traditional rich East European/German Christmas
product, oval shaped with three segments. It can be filled with
almond paste, quark or cream cheese or left plain.
After baking it is dipped or brushed with butter, covered with icing sugar and left to
mature in an airtight container, to develop the flavour (similar to a fruitcake). The butter
will also slow down the staling process and help extend the shelf life.
Characteristics:
 Compact, dense texture with a short crumb. Due to high fat content, very
good eating qualities.
Panettone
Is a light Fruit bread, originated in Milan, Italy.
Panettone is available all year around, but traditionally consumed during Christmas and
characterised by its rich flavour and unique shape, which is a tall cylinder.
French Brioche is similar in texture and richness to the Panettone, but without fruit and
not as light.
Panettone can be raised with yeast, but is traditionally made with a sour dough.
Due to the richness of the product a ferment or sponge and
dough is required to achieve the texture and the volume
characteristics.
Panettone has a shelf life of up to several weeks, if protected
from drying out by wrapping it Celloform, when they are cold.
Storing will also mature the product and improve the flavour.
Characteristics:
 Tall cylindrical shape with a rough surface
 Light large porous texture due to b.f.p.
 Rubbery eating qualities.
6. Select correct oven conditions for baking yeast goods
Yeast goods will be baked in an oven temperature ranging from 180ºC – 220ºC.
This is because they contain sugar. Products baked with sugar will darken on the crust
quicker than bread.
To control the browning of the crust the product is baked at a lower temperature:
 Appearance
 Colour on the outside crust
 Colour adds to the appearance.
Too dark and it is burnt:
It will taste bitter.
Under baked it will look pale and uninviting:
A well-baked product will have a bold appearance.
Dextrinization: is produced by the action of heat and steam on the starch. The dextrin is
a carbohydrate smaller in size than starch.
This is also referred to as the Malliard Reaction after the French chemist, Louis Camille
Maillard (1876-1936).
The process is a reaction between reducing sugars such as maltose and glucose,
not sucrose, with amino acids present in the dough on the crust of the loaf.
This is responsible for the glaze and bloom on the crust.

Information Sheet 1.2-1
DECORATE AND PRESENT/DISPLAY YEAST GOODS
1. Prepare a variety of fillings and coating/icing and

decorations for yeast goods
Glazing of yeast goods

 Decoration is very basic with yeast goods.
Sugar syrup
 Glaze, normally 1 part sugar, 1 part water boiled
and let cool.
 This is referred to as stock syrup. The formula
may vary but they are all called the same.
Boiled apricot jam
 Applied to product when it has just been removed from the oven and while the jam
is boiling. This causes the jam to dry and impart a shine and flavour to the
product.
Icing sugar
 Can be sifted over the final baked product with no glaze applied.
Fondant
 Fondant can be applied after removing from oven. Fondant needs to be tempered
if a shine is required on the finished product. Fondant can be thinned to required
consistency.
 Fondant should be touching dry when it has been applied and cooled.
 After glazing with fondant roasted, shaved or chopped nuts can be used to
decorate the end product.
Frostings
 Frosting is sugar and fat blended together with some
water added to soften.
 It is composed of 80% icing Sugar with 20% fat ratio
and 5% water. Special emulsified shortening works
well here as they will hold more water.
Bienenstich
 This is a sweet dough of varying sizes that have
been coated with a mixture of almonds, sugar, butter, honey and cream and which
has been heated and cooled before being placed on to the unbaked dough.
 It is warmed to body temperature and spread thinly over unbaked product. When
baked it should have a golden crust of nut topping. When cool the product can be
sliced and filled with a crème pâtissière filling or served plain.
 It can be produced in large pieces or in thin sheets for slicing and cutting into
individual pieces.
Fillings
Crème pâtissière
 Starch thickened milk that can be flavoured and coloured to enterprise
requirements. It is stable at high temperatures and will sit at room temperatures
for extended periods.
 Many commercial mixes contain preservatives that extend shelf life at room
temperatures.
Fruit fillings
 Most fruits used as filling need to be stabilised in a
starch gel.
 This is because when sugar is added to fruit it will
dissolve and the free liquid boils inside the dough and
is detrimental to the finished product.
 Fruits will need to be cooked before being used in
fillings. Some fruits may not cook inside the dough before the dough has baked.
 Canned fruits are economical when used in fillings for anish and steussel
doughs.
 Solid pack ‘Pie’ fillings can be purchased to fit this need. This is fruit in a can that
has no added water or syrup. However, when sugar is added to this is does
dissolve so that liquid needs to be stabilised.
 There are proprietary powders that can be added to fruit mixes. These are pre-
gelatinised gels. They rehydrate when added to the pie mixes and hold the
moisture in suspension.
 These powders have been cooked to a thick viscous
state and then dried on steam heated rollers and
ground to powder so they can be added to fruits or
other liquids at a later stage.
 These pre-gelatinised powders are best added to the
sugar before mixing into the fruit.
Cream
Whipped fresh cream flavoured with sugar and vanilla has always been popular as a
filling but needs to be kept in a controlled environment. It is not suited to hot climates.
Nut fillings
Nuts can be ground and mixed with sugar and liquids to form pastes.
Cheese fillings
Quark, cottage and cream cheeses can be sweetened and flavoured before being used
as fillings. Some cheeses with high moisture contents can be stabilised with the addition
of starch that will thicken during the baking process.
All fillings used in yeast goods:
 Add flavour
 Add interest
 Add food value.
2. Decorate yeast goods using fillings and coating/icing and

decorations according to standard recipes and/or enterprise
standards and/or customer requests
Glazing of yeast goods

Yeast goods are glazed to add eye appeal and enhance the flavour of the finished
product.
Glazing can be simple; using sugar syrup; or elaborate using icings roasted nuts and
brightly coloured fruits.
Yeast good will carry a premium in pricing so the customer will need they are getting
value for money.
Sugar syrup is the simplest and this must be added while the product is still hot; brush
lightly and quickly over the surface.
If too much is added it will soak into product and make soggy.
When added to hot product the water evaporates away leaving stick sugar paste than
reflects the light and SHINES.
Boiled apricot jam

Apply to Danish pastries when they are removed from oven.
When this is done the jam must be hot and the product just out
of the oven.
Do not add water to jam; this will dilute the glaze and flavour..
same as sugar syrup, when brushed on hot excess water will
be evaporated away leaving shine and extra flavour.
Icing sugar; Sift over Danish pastry that is not coated in apricot jam.
Fondant
Apply after tempering and when product has cooled. When cool the fondant should have
an appealing shine.
Bienenstich
Bienstich glaze is applied before product is baked.
A mixture of flaked almonds hone, cream and sugar is cooked on stove to amalgamate.
Can be stored in refrigerator until required.
To use: warm slightly until it flows off the spoon. Apply evenly and thinly over the top of
unbaked dough piece.
When baked in the oven the sugars caramelise and when cooled the topping has an
appealing flavour and colour. The top will also have a crunch from the sugar and nuts.
The topping must be brown before removing from the oven or it will not be crisp and
crunchy. Care must be taken not to burn the sugar. It will then be bitter and be black in
colour.
Fillings
Fresh Dairy Cream
Flavoured with sugar and vanilla essence.
Slice cooled product like buns and donuts and pipe whipped cream
into centre; these product will need to be stored in controlled
environment as the cream melts in warm environment and can have
unacceptable bacterial growth if not controlled.
Crème pâtissière
Flavour and pipe into finished product in place of fresh dairy cream. It can be used in
anish pastry with fruit to act as binding agent for fruit and add moist mouth feel:
 It can be placed in or onto the yeast good before or after baking.
If it is placed on the outside of the product it will need to be glazed before being
presented for consumption. Starch thickened products will dry on the surface when
exposed to the air diminishing the eating quality.
Nut fillings
Make into paste with sugar and spices then use in anish pastries.
Toppings
Gels
Apply to top of fruits added to Danish pastries after baking.
Fruit Decors
Fresh or canned fruits can be added to baked pastries. A
pocket can be baked then crème patisserie is added with
strawberries as the fruit. Strawberries are delicate and do
not bake well like apricots.
These will be glazed with gel to add shine and eye appeal.
Product decorated with fresh fruits will have a limited life but,
as most yeast goods are consumed on the day of
production, this is not a big issue.
Crumbles
Apply thinly to top of unbaked product and it will bake and leave a nice crust on finished
product.
Crumbles add textural diversity and interest to the finished product.
Frosting
Apply to baked product after cooling. These will have a lighter sweetness than fondant
due to the fat content.
They add pleasant mouth feel and interest to the finished product.
3. Present / display yeast goods to enterprise standards using

appropriate service equipment
Presentation of product is dependent on where and how it is to be sold.
From the bakery

Presented on tray laying flat showing filling if any. The filling will have eye appeal:
 Apple Danish should have lots of apple pieces
 Apricots need to be visible
 Nut Danish: need to see the nuts.
At times they may be stacked to show abundance but this can cause product on the
bottom to be squashed.
Display in bakery
Most are displayed on trays that contain up to 12 portions. Service is taken from the back
of the tray. Larger pieces might be presented individually on doyley and cardboard
bases.
Doyleys are used extensively in presentation as it is a barrier between the product and
service ware.
From the restaurant show case or buffet trolley
When purchasing your morning coffee a selection of bakery goods will be displayed for
customer selection. At the café they will be behind a safety barrier.
In fine dining hotels it can be displayed on a trolley that is wheeled up to the table for the
customer to choose. This is an old practice and is not used in many places these days.
Service ware
These are the platter trays and plates that are
used to display and serve product in cafes and
dining rooms. They can also be used in
conjunction with doyleys between product and
service ware.
A good display should highlight the product at its
best.

Information Sheet 1.3-1
1. Store at correct temperature and conditions of storage
Bakery products tend to be stable at room temperature. No special storage requirements

need to be applied for daily use.
For any product that is to be served after the day of manufacture the product will
need to be covered and protected from outside contamination:
 Products with cream filling will need to be kept chilled
 Crème patissiers can stand at room temperature for the day but must then be
discarded and not used.
Most bakery products are sold or used the same day that they are produced.
If they are to be stored at room temperature then:
 Store at Room Temperature
 Festive product may be stored for a couple of days. For longer
storage it is best to freeze.
 If the baked product does not contain dairy products then it
can be stored at room temperature. It should be protected
from the environment by being covered.
 When food is chilled it can lose essential parts of the flavour.
When storing it is always important to make sure product is labelled and it is stored away
from strong odours like onion or cleaning chemicals.
Freezing
If freezing baked bakery products care must be taken not to squash them when
wrapping.
This will cause them to be deformed when thawed out.When freezing be sure to label
with the date of freezing and use the FIFO (‘First In, First Out’) rule.
Storing in Cool room

Product with dairy ingredients like cream and crème pâtissière need to be kept chilled to
stop bacterial activity rising above acceptable limits.
Never store for too long in cool room: fresh cream, same day only.
Product degradation will be too great and eating quality diminishes.
2. Maintain maximum eating quality, appearance and

freshness
All yeast good products will stale quickly. Staling is the process where the optimum
eating fades.
Staling can be in several forms:
 Air passes through the product and dries the product out
 Moisture from the air enters the product so it loses some of the eating quality. Crisp
product goes soft.
To maintain the eating quality of bakery items:
 Use as soon as possible
 Cover to protect from environment
 Keep chilled if needed
 Keep dry.
Croissants will be considered stale the next day when they lose crispness. After baking
it is best to freeze them if you wish to store them for any period of time:
 Thawing is quick as the product is light
 Thawing is best at room temperature.
Danish pastry is best consumed on the day that it was produced. It can be stored and
reheated at a later time, but eating quality is reduced.
Any Yeast Goods product is best consumed on the day that it was produced.
Optimise freshness
 Bake daily
 Bake only what you can sell
 Bake in small batches.

To calculate the amount of Instant Pre–gelatinised starch that is required to thicken your sour
cherry liquor, use 10%.
USE 10% approximately of Instant Starch to thicken your Sour Cherry liquid.
10% of Instant pre-gelatinised starch is required to thicken your liquid.
Also use an equal amount of sugar and blend Instant Starch and sugar together for better
dispersion into the Cherry Liquor.
Slowly add Sugar/Starch blend into liquid and whisk well until a thick jelly is obtained.
Fold cherries into jelly and blend through.
