Bread and Pastry Production
OVERVIEW
Students like you will find bread and pastry making a delightful and challenging activity. Bread and
pastries come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, flavors, and fillings. With all these variations bread and pastry
making offer creative opportunities for experimentation. You can experiment on new forms and looks, on new
flavors or combination of flavors that would be acceptable to the market. Nowadays, bread and pastries with
their wide selection of fillings – meat, chicken, vegetable, jam, cheese, nuts, and legumes – have become one-
dish meals. More people from all ages are replacing rice with rolls or bread, whether for breakfast, lunch, or
supper. There is a lot to be discovered in bread and pastry making.
This unit includes the basic study of bread and pastries. It starts with familiarity on the use and care of
baking tools and equipment; on measurements and calculation, which you will use in working with ingredients;
and on health and safety practices in the occupation, which is top priority in any job, that is, to protect you, as
well as protect the product in terms of sanitation.

Note:
Measuring the right amount of ingredients depends largely on the use of standard measuring
tools and in the correct technique in measuring so that accuracy in measurement is obtained. There are three
methods commonly used in measurements, namely: by volume, by weight, and by units. The standard
measuring cups and spoons are examples of tools for volumetric measure; the dietetic scale and weighing scale
are tools for weighing.
All abbreviations are in singular form regardless whether the ingredient is singular or plural.

This is an approximate guide only. Various kinds of stoves and even the same kind
can give slightly different results at the same temperature. If in doubt with your stove’s
temperature guide, refer to the manufacturer’s temperature chart. At present, most ovens in the
Philippines havr thermostats set in degrees Fahrenheit, but as metric measures become more
widely used, there are ovens that are now in degrees Celsius.

1. If the recipe requires unsifted flour, do not sift. If the recipe requires sifted flour, the
sift before measuring.
2. Scoop flour with a scooper. Use a big plastic spoon or metal spoon in the absence of a
scooper.
3. Fill up the measuring cup until it overflows. Do not tap nor shake measuring cup, nor press
the
flour inside the measuring cup.
4. Level off with a spatula.
Follow the same procedure with granulated white sugar, confectioner’s sugar, baking powder,
baking soda, powdered milk, powdered cocoa, and designated coconut.
Brown Sugar
1. Remove the lumps in the brown sugar.
2. Fill up the measuring cup with brown sugar.
3. Press down the brown sugar to the bottom of measuring cup until it is packed.
4. Continue doing this until you have reached the top. Level it using the back part of the
spoon.
5. A well- packed brown sugar follows the shape of measuring cup when inverted.
Shortening
Solid Fats or Margarine
Butter
Butter follows the same procedure as in margarine. However, a half-pound of butter (about 22
grams) is approximately on cup. If you need a fraction of a cup, just divide the butter into required portion and
cut.

Work hazards and risks come from different sources in the workplace. It can come from the
physical environment, the workers themselves, the machines and equipment, facilities, materials in the work
process, or work practices that can cause harm or injury to the individual, to the organization, to property, and
equipment.
1. Physical Hazards – These are brought about unhealthy working conditions, poor lighting, poor
ventilation, insufficient facilities, inefficient or faulty equipment or machine, and improper work
practices such as wrong use of knives.
2. Biological Hazards – These are brought about by workers infected with disease or illness, unhygienic
personal practices that can transmit bacteria, parasites, fungi to other workers and to the food and
equipment being handled.
3. Ergonomic Hazards – These are brought about by poor posture when working long periods of
standing, bending, pushing, lifting, carrying that can cause body stress, muscle pains, and soreness,
back injury, numbness of hands, feet, and other parts of the body.
22
5. Chemical Hazards – These are brought about by the use of chemicals such as disinfectants for
cleaning equipment and floorings, fumes, and smokes from cooking.
From the data gathered, make an evaluation on the extent of hazards and risks present in the
workplace.
Follow the correct procedure in washing, drying, and storing kitchen tools and equipment.

Disaster Management Cycle
1. Mitigation – is reducing impacts of disaster to people and properties.
2. Preparedness – is planning how to respond when disaster strikes.
3. Response – is the effort exerted to reduce the impact/effect of the disaster to affected people and
property.
4. Recovery – is the return to normally life.
