Concept Development

Types, Kinds and Classifications of Baked Products

Preparing bakery products require no trick but adequate mastery of the


processes in baking. In this topic, you will learn about the different types, kinds and
classification of bakery products.

Bread

Bread is a food made from flour, water, yeast and salt baked in an oven. It is
one of the most popular and best sold baked products not only in our country but in
other countries as well. There are different kinds of bread that we, Filipinos are
fond of eating depending on the quality of breads they have.

14
Dough
It is a mixture of flour and liquid with other ingredients, such as leavening
agents, shortening, sugar, salt, eggs, and various flavouring materials, used to
make baked products.

Two Classifications of Dough

1. Lean Dough - The basic ingredients for bread which includes flour, yeast,
salts, little sugar, and shortening make up the lean dough. This dough is
made into pan de sal, pan Americano, French bread and other crusty bread
varieties.

Muffin

Simple cup breads leavened and are considered as member of a quick


bread family.

Outside Characteristics of Muffins and Quick Breads

Shape - Uniform; well-rounded top; free from peaks; no cracks


Size - Uniform; large in proportion to weight
Color - Uniform golden brown
Crust - Tender; pebbled or slightly rough; shiny

Inside Characteristics of Muffins and Quick Breads

Color - Creamy white or slightly yellow; free from streaks


Grain - Rounded, even cells; free from tunnels
Texture - Tender; moist; light
Flavor - Pleasing; well-blended with no bitterness

Biscuits

Biscuits are small flaky quick breads. They are leavened with fast-acting
leaveners which make preparation time shorter than any yeast leavened bread.

Two Ways to Make Biscuits

1. Using solid fats


2. Using liquid shortening or wet to dry method

20
Outside Characteristics of Biscuits
Shape - Uniform, straight sides and level tops on rolled biscuits
Size - Uniform; twice the size of unbaked biscuits
Color - Uniform golden-brown tops and bottoms-sides lighter from yellow to
brown.
Crust - Tender; moderately smooth; free form excess flour

Inside Characteristics of Biscuits:

Color - Creamy white; free from yellow or brown spots


Grain - Flaky, pulling of in thin sheets; medium fine, even cells
Texture - Tender; slightly moist; light
Flavor - Pleasing, well-blended with no bitterness

Cakes

Cake is a form of sweet food made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients,
that are usually baked. The following are the different types of cake:

1. Cheese Cake - is sometimes classified as flourless cake. A cheesecake is


basically an unstirred custard baked in the oven. However, it can also be
unbaked or typically molded in a dessert ring or spring form pan then simply
chilled before unmolding.

2. Chiffon Cake - The chiffon cake is a well-known member of the foam cake


family, although it is often considered to be a mixture between a shortened and un-
shortened cake. It is because the cake contains added fat from vegetable oil, plus
egg yolks, some sugar and water, mixed with flour (cake) and chemical leaveners
(baking powder) to form a cake batter. 

21

%20Cake_0.gif

3. Sponge Cake - A Sponge cake is wonderfully versatile, and can be found in


many recipes. The texture and flavour of sponge cakes is so delightful and
finely flavorful that they are usually eaten with or without icing.

4. Butter Cake - It is a cake recipe where the main ingredient is butter. Butter
cake is baked with basic ingredients: butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and
leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda. It is considered as
one of the essential cakes in American baking. Butter cake originated from
the English pound cake, which traditionally used equal amounts of butter,
flour, sugar, and eggs to bake a heavy, rich cake.

5. Chocolate Cake - Chocolate cake is a cake made with chocolate or cocoa.


The ingredients are put into a bowl and mixed together; then the mixed
ingredients are put into a cake tin and put in an oven until it is fully cooked.

Pies and Pastries

Pastry is a dough that is used to make pie crust, tarts, and turnovers. It is
used in desserts and main dishes as well. Many people think that making pastry is
difficult compared to other bakery products. However, among pastry varieties, the
short crust’s pastry is the most difficult to make compared to other similar varieties.
Pastry making is easy if basic rules are given due importance especially in the
handling of dough.

Four Types of Pies

1. Fruit Pie
- Two crust
- Solid top crust or lattice
- Fruit filling from canned, frozen, dried, or fresh

22
2. Cream Pie
- One crust
- Use corn starch-thickened pudding to make the filling.
- Coconut, fruit, nuts
- Often have meringue topping

3. Custard Pie
- One crust
- Filled with custard made from milk, eggs, and sugar
- Bake in pie crust or in separate pie plate. 
- Slip cooled filling into crust, Light and airy.
- One crust
- Filled with mixture containing gelatin and cooked beaten egg whites 
- Filling may contain whip cream

Ingredients for Pastry

Four Basic Ingredients

1. Flour - Flour gives structure. You can use pastry or all-purpose flour.
2. Fat - Fat makes the pastry tender and it inhibits the development of
gluten.
3. Salt - Salt contributes flavor and if it is removed or eliminated, it will not
affect the pastry except for flavor.
4. Water - Very cold water provides moisture needed for development of
gluten and production of steam.

Handling the Dough

  Handling causes gluten to develop. And the more gluten that develops, the
tougher the pastry will become. But do not over mix the dough when adding liquid
and do not use a lot of speed or force when using the rolling pin as well as
stretching the pastry when fitting it into a pie plate.

Common Baking Ingredients

Flour

It is the primary ingredient in baking. It is powder made by grinding raw


grains or roots and used to make many different foods. 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.
23
Types of Flour
1. Bread Flour - It is a glutenous type of flour and it is ideal for yeast
breads. Bread flours typically ranges from 11 to 13.5 % protein.

2. Cake Flour - Cake flour is a weak or soft flour, 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 %.

3. All-Purpose Flour - It is a type of flour that can either substitute to cake


flour and bread flour in baking. This flour is formulated to be slightly
weaker than bread flour so, it can be used for cakes and pastries as
well. All-purpose flour has a protein content of about 10 to 11.5 %.

4. Ready Mixed Flour - These are pre-mixed flour readily available in


the market. Just add milk or other liquid to the mixture to bake any
kind of baked products you want.

Sugar

Sugar is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of


which are used in food. It adds sweetness to flavor. It also creates tenderness and
fineness of texture, partly by weakening the gluten structure and gives color to the
crust. It increases the keeping qualities by retaining moisture as well as act as
creaming agents with fats and as foaming agents with eggs. And lastly, it provides
food for yeast.

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

1. Granulated Sugar - It is the most familiar and the most commonly used.

2. Confectioners’ Sugar - It is a powdered sugar commonly used in icing and


frosting cakes.

3. Brown Sugar - It 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 a regular cane sugar that has not
24
been completely refined.
4. Syrups - These 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 a simple syrup with added
flavorings.

5. Molasses - These are 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.

Molasses contains large amounts of sucrose and other sugars, including


invert sugar. It also contains acids, moisture, and other constituents that give it its
flavour 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.

6. 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.

Fats

Saturated and Unsaturated Fats

Some fats are solid at room temperature, while others are liquid. The liquid
fats we usually refer to as oils. Whether the fats are solid or liquid depends on the
fatty acids that make up the fat molecules.

Fatty acids consist primarily of long chains of carbon atoms to which


hydrogen atoms are attached. If a fatty acid chain contains as many hydrogen
atoms as it can possibly hold, it is called saturated. If the chain has empty spaces
that can hold more hydrogen, it is called unsaturated. Saturated fats are solid at
room temperature, while unsaturated fats are liquid.

25
Major Functions of Fats in Baked Items
1. It adds moisture and richness.
2. It increases the keeping quality.
3. It adds flavor.
4. It assists in leavening when used as a creaming agent, or to give
flakiness to puff pastry, pie dough, and similar products.

Shortenings

Any fat acts as a shortening in baking because it shortens gluten strands


and tenderizes the product. However, we generally use the word shortening to
mean any of a group of solid fats, usually white and tasteless, that are especially
formulated for baking. Shortenings generally consist of nearly 100 % fat.

Shortenings may be made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or both. During
manufacturing, the fats are hydrogenated. This process turns liquid oils into solid
fats. Shortenings are used for many purposes.

1. Butter - Is a dairy product with high butterfat content which is solid when chilled
and at room temperature in some regions, and liquid when warmed. It consists
of about 80 % fat, about 15 % water, and about 5 % milk solids. Butter is
available salted and unsalted. Unsalted butter is more perishable, but it has a
fresher, sweeter taste and is thus, preferred in baking.

Two Major Advantages of Butter

1. Flavor - Shortenings are intentionally flavorless, but butter possesses


highly desirable flavor.
2. Melting Qualities - Butter melts in the mouth. Shortenings do not.
After eating pastries or icings made with shortening, one will feel the after
taste of a margarine.
3. Margarine - Margarine is manufactured from various hydrogenated
animal and vegetable fats, plus flavouring ingredients, emulsifiers,
coloring agents, and other ingredients. It contains 80 to 85 % fat, 10
to 15 % moisture, and about 5 % salt, milk solids, and other
components. Thus, it may be considered a sort of imitation butter
consisting of shortening, water, and flavoring.

4. Oils - Oils are liquid fats. They are not often used as shortenings in
cakes because they spread through a batter or dough
thoroughly and shorten too much. Some breads and a few cakes and

26

quick breads use oil as a shortening. Beyond this, the usefulness of oil in the
bakeshop is limited primarily to greasing pans, deep-frying
doughnuts, and serving as a wash for some kinds of rolls.

5. Lard - Lard is a semi-soft white fat derived from fatty parts of the pig,


with a high saturated fatty acid content and no transfat. Because of
its plastic quality, it was once highly valued for making flaky pie
crusts and biscuits.  

Milk

Milk is the most important liquid in the bakeshop. It is used


in baked products to improve texture and mouth feel. The protein in milk also gives
a soft crumb structure in cakes, and contributes to the moisture, color and flavor of
a baked product. 

Eggs

Egg is one of the important ingredients in baking. It is used in large quantity


and more expensive than many of the other high-volume ingredients, such as flour,
sugar.

Leavening Agent

It is a substance causing expansion of dough and batters by the release of


gases within such mixtures, producing baked products with porous
structure. Leavening agent should be measured exactly because minor changes
can produce major defects in baked products.

Types of Leavening Agent

1. Chemical - Baking powder, sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate (by


releasing carbon dioxide gas)
2. Biological - Yeast is the leavening agent in breads, dinner rolls, Danish
pastries, and similar products.

Types of Yeast

1. Fresh Yeast - It is also called compressed yeast, which is moist and


perishable.
2. Active Dry Yeast - It is a dry, granular form of yeast. It must be
rehydrated in four times its weight of warm water (105 °F / 41 °C) before use.
27
3. Instant Dry Yeast - Sometimes called rapid-rise or quick-rise yeast like
active dry yeast, it is also a dry granular form of yeast, but it does
not have to be dissolved in water before use.
