European traditions of pastry-making is often traced back to the short crust era
flaky doughs that were in use throughout the Mediterranean in ancient times.
In the ancient Mediterranean, the Romans, Greeks and Phoenicians all had
filo-style pastries in their culinary traditions. There is also strong evidence that
Egyptians produced pastry-like confections. They had professional bakers that
surely had the skills to do so, and they also had needed materials like flour, oil,
and honey.[citation needed] In the plays of Aristophanes, in 5th century BC, there are
mentions of sweetmeats including small pastries filled with fruit. The Roman
cuisine used flour, oil and water to make pastries that were used to cover meats
and fowls. They did this during baking to keep in the juices, but this was not
meant to be eaten by people. A pastry that was meant to be eaten was a richer
pastry that was made into small pastries and contained eggs or little birds. It was
often served at banquets. Greeks and Roman both struggled in making a good
pastry because they both used oil in the cooking process and oil causes the pastry
to lose its stiffness.[8]
In medieval cuisine of North Europe they were able to produce nice, stiff
pastries because they cooked with shortening and butter. There were some
incomplete lists of ingredients found in medieval cookbooks, but no full, detailed
versions. There were stiff, empty pastries called coffins or 'huff paste', that were
eaten by servants only and included an egg yolk glaze to help make them more
enjoyable to consume. Medieval pastries also included small tarts to add richness
to the snack.
It was not until about the Mid 16th century that actual pastry recipes
showed up.[7][9] These recipes were adopted and adapted over time in various
European countries, resulting in the myriad pastry traditions known to the region,
from Portuguese "pastéis de nata" in the west to Russian "pirozhky" in the east.
The use of chocolate in pastry-making in the West, so commonplace today, arose
only after Spanish and Portuguese traders brought chocolate to Europe from the
New World starting in the 16th century. Many culinary historians consider French
pastry chef Antonin Carême (1784–1833) to have been the first great master of
pastry making in modern times.
Pastry-making also has a strong tradition in many parts of Asia. Chinese
pastry is made from rice, or different types of flour, with fruit, sweet bean
paste or sesame-based fillings. Beginning in the 19th century, the British brought
western-style pastry to the far east, though it would be the French
influenced Maxim in the 1950s that made western pastry popular in Chinese-
speaking regions starting with Hong Kong. Still, the term "Western Cake" (西餅) is
used to differentiate between the automatically assumed Chinese pastry. Other
Asian countries such as Korea have traditionally prepared pastry-confections such
as tteok, hangwa, and yaksik with flour, rice, fruits, and regional specific
ingredients to make unique type desserts. And Japan also has specialized pastry-
confections better known as mochi and manjū. Pastry-confection that originate in
Asia are clearly distinct from those that originate in the West that are generally
much sweeter.

Occupational Health and Safety

SAFETY IN THE KITCHEN

Home baking is great fun, but it is also important to be safe in the kitchen.
There are many potential hazards to be aware of so here are some useful tips for
keeping safe:

Heat: baking usually requires you to use an oven and sometimes a stovetop. Be
aware of the stovetop and the oven door if they are in use. Use oven gloves or
cloths to remove hot pots from the stovetop or baking pans from the oven. Be
careful of steam or hot air when you open the oven door. Place hot food on a
stable, heat resistant surface.

Spills: if you spill ingredients on the floor, clean up immediately to avoid slipping.

Clothing: It’s a good idea to wear an apron and closed shoes when you are baking.
This will keep your clothes clean and your feet safe from falling objects or spills.
It’s also a good idea to keep your hair tied back away from your face to prevent it
from falling into the food you are making.
Sharp implements and equipment: Baking often requires the use of knives,
beaters, mixers and other implements and equipment which could be dangerous.
Be aware when using sharp knives. Never put your hand into a mixer or any other
equipment that is turned on or moving. Make sure your hands are dry before
touching electrical switches. If you do cut yourself, clean the wound and apply a
plaster before continuing to bake.

Storage: Store your baking ingredients and equipment in such a way that they are
easy to reach and will not fall on you or anyone else. Keep ingredients covered,
preferably in a sealed container, to keep them fresh and free from contamination.

Proper Handwashing
Here's How:

Rinse your hands under the hottest running water you can stand — at least 100°F.
Soap up your hands — preferably using soap from a soap dispenser but bar soap
is OK. The key is to generate a good lather. Use an anti-bacterial soap if possible.
Scrub for at least 30 seconds, making sure to soap up your wrist and lower arm
areas.
Since you might be digging your fingers into ground meat or kneading dough, you
should also clean under your fingernails. Keep a nail brush by your hand-washing
sink, and use it.

Pastry Products MARIA BELINA A. HUBAHIB Revision # 00
Rinse thoroughly, again, for at least 30 seconds but longer if that's what it takes to
fully rinse off the soap.
Use a clean paper towel to turn off the faucet. Throw that towel away and use a
new paper towel for the next step.
Dry your hands using a clean paper towel — not a dishtowel or other cloth. Why?
Dishtowels hang around the kitchen and get wiped on everything, making them
the ideal vehicle for spreading bacteria from one kitchen tool or surface to another
— or onto your freshly washed hands.

Tips:

Wash your hands after using the restroom, before and after touching raw food,
after sneezing or coughing, after taking out the trash or using any type of cleaning
product — or in a word, frequently.
Don't use another body part, such as your upper arm or elbow, to shut off the
faucet. You'll just contaminate your elbow that way. Use a clean paper towel, and
throw it away afterward.
Avoid, if possible, those hot-air hand dryers. They can sometimes harbor bacteria,
which are then blown onto your nice clean hands. Not good.
Don't go around with wet hands, either. Wet hands are more easily contaminated
than dry ones.
What You Need

Hot running water.


Soap, preferably from a soap dispenser, and the anti-bacterial type if possible.
Nail brush (or a toothbrush) for cleaning fingernails.
Clean paper towels.

Ingredients and Their Uses

INGREDIENTS AND THEIR USES

Baking powder is probably the most common


aerating agent in baked products like cakes. It is
made up of bicarbonate of soda and cream of
tartar. Baking powder is a chemical aeration agent.

Eggs are another basic ingredient in many baked


products. They provide structure, aeration, flavour
and moisture. They also tenderise cakes and add
colour and nutritive value.

Fats and oils Generally, fats are solid while oils are liquid. Fats come from a
variety of animals and plants. Oils mostly come from plants. In baking, butter,
margarine, shortening and oils are commonly used. Their main functions are to
shorten or tenderise the product, to trap air during creaming and so aerate the
cake during baking to give good volume and texture, to assist with layering in puff
pastry, to help prevent curdling by forming an emulsion, and to add flavour. They
also provide some nutritive value. It is important to add the correct amount of fat
as too much far will make the baked product greasy and unpleasant to eat, while
too little fat will leave you with a product that lacks flavour and stales quickly.

Flour is the ingredient on which most baked products are based. Flour is made
up of starch, protein, sugar and minerals. The protein content decides what the
end use of the flour will be.

Milk is used in baked products to improve texture and mouthfeel. The protein in
milk also gives a soft crumb structure in cakes, and contributes to the moisture,
colour and flavour of a baked product. Cakes that contain milk also tend to have a
longer shelf life.

Salt is usually only added in very small amounts to baked products, but it has a
noticeable effect on the flavour of baked products. It not only provides its own
flavour but brings out the natural flavour of other ingredients. In bread doughs,
salt strengthens gluten and improves the consistency of the dough. Carbon dioxide
given off by the yeast is more easily trapped by the strengthened gluten, which
makes a better loaf of bread. Salt is also a good preservative as it absorbs water so
there is less free water for bacterial and fungal growth.

Sugar gives cakes and other baked products sweetness and is used in many
forms and many ways. In yeast raised products, sugar acts as food for the yeast. In
cakes, sugar assists with the aeration and stabilising of batters. Sugars improve
the crust colour of baked products, improve flavour and help to retain moisture,
keeping products softer for longer and so reducing staling. Examples of sugar

forms are granulated sugar, castor sugar and icing sugar. Sugar also comes in
liquid forms such as syrup, treacle, corn syrup, honey and caramel.
Yeast belongs to the fungi family. It ferments carbohydrates (sugars) to produce
carbon dioxide gases and alcohol, which aerate bread and other yeasted products,
giving it volume and texture. These by-products of yeast also contribute to the
colour and aroma of bread and other yeasted products.

Pastry Tools

Learning Objective:
1. Identify the tools used in pastry making and their uses

Cookie and Baking Sheets:


Cookie sheets are rimless, flat metal sheets, perfectly designed for
placing rows of cookies. They normally have a small rim on the
short sides for easy gripping. The long flat edges allow you to slide
cookies off the sheet after baking.

Baking sheets have raised edges all around, and are normally the
choice for professional bakers. They are a good, all-purpose pan
and can be used for everything from baking cookies to toasting
nuts.
You normally want to have a set of 2
cookie sheets or 2 baking sheets, or
both. When baking cookies, the second sheet can be waiting to go
into the oven while the first one is baking.

If you’re buying new, invest in good quality, heavy duty cookie and baking sheets.
Heavy duty baking sheets retain heat better, won’t warp or buckle when heated,
and should last a lifetime.

Choose cookie and baking sheets made of shiny, light colored metals, such as
heavy-duty aluminum. The light color encourages even baking and are less likely
to burn. Dark metals sheets and nonstick tend to brown baked goods faster; you
may need to lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees and reduce the baking time
slightly.

Insulated pans have a layer of air trapped between the layers of metal, which help
prevent cookies from burning. However, since these pans are poor heat
conductors, cookies may not tend to bake and brown as well, and you may over
bake the cookies waiting for them to brown.

Layer Cake Pans:


Many basic cake recipes use traditional round layer cake pans
that are either 8 or 9 inches in diameter. The pans should be at
least 2 or 2½ inches deep so that the batter doesn’t overflow.
You’ll want to have a set of at least two round layer cake pans; however a set of
three pans is best as many cake recipes are made with 3 layers. Choose pans with
no seams on the inside and a good, heavy feel to them.

Muffin Pans and Baking Cups:


Muffin pans are a rectangular metal baking pan with six or twelve cup, used to

Pastry Products MARIA BELINA A. HUBAHIB Revision # 00
bake both muffins and cupcakes. Muffin pan sizes are typically mini, standard,
and jumbo sized. Each cup is normally lined with paper baking cups, and then
filled with muffin or cake batter. Muffin pans can also be used to bake dinner rolls
or individual brownies.
A standard muffin pan has 12 cups, each
measuring about 2¾ inches at the top and 1-
3/8 inches deep. Mini muffin pans normally
have either 12 or 24 cups and measure
about 1¾ inch across the top and ¾ inch
deep. Jumbo muffin pans normally have 6
cups, and measure 3-3/8 inches across the top and 1¾
inches deep.

Muffin pans are traditionally made of metal; most common are aluminum pans;
however flexible silicone pans are now available.
Baking cups are paper or foil cups used to line muffin or cupcake pans. The
baking cups hold the batter making it easy to release the baked cakes from the
pan. Baking cups are also available in reusable silicone. Paper cups come in a
variety of fun and seasonal designs and colors.

Sheet Cake Pans:


A single layer sheet cake is most often baked in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch
RectangularPan,replacing a typical two-layer cake. The pan should
be at least 2 inches deep, and for ease in cleaning, look for pans
that have slightly rounded inside corners. Square corners can trap
crumbsin the crevices.

Square Baking Pans:


Many bar cookie and brownie recipes, and some small cakes,
use a square baking pan that is either 8 or 9 inches. The pans
should be at least 2 or 2½ inches deep so that the batter doesn’t
overflow. Choose pans with no seams on the inside and a good,
heavy feel to them. Aluminum pans are the best for cookies and brownies, and a
glass pan is best for fruit desserts, baked custards, and bread puddings.

Pie and Tart Pans


Pie pans are available is various sizes and depths. The amount of pie filling will
normally determine the type of pie pan to use.

Traditional Pie Pans:


Most pie recipes are written for a 9 inch pie, and the pie pastry and ingredients will
normally fit in a 9 x 1½ inch Pie Pan, such as a Pyrex pan with
ovenproof glass. Ovenproof glass pie pans are about the best for
baking pies as they are an excellent heat conductor, they allow the

bottom crust to brown well, the transparency of the glass allows you to see how
the crust is browning, the surface is not marred when cutting with a knife, and
they are easy to clean.

Ceramic and stoneware pie pans are beautiful to use and serve
from, and the many colors available make them fun to use for
holidays and attractive when serving guests.

If using a metal pan, aluminum with a dull satin finish is the best
for conducting heat. These pans are not as pretty; however they
will not break if dropped. Dark metals can cause the crusts to
over-brown and their coated surface can be marred with a knife.

Disposable aluminum pans are inexpensive and handy for freezing and gift-giving,
but the thin construction makes these pans a poor heat conductor.

Deep Dish Pie Pans:


Many ceramic and stoneware pans are available in deep dish, and
are used when you have a larger quantity of pie filling. The fluted
tops enable you to create a beautiful edge with minimal effort.

Flan Rings:
A flan ring is a metal ring with no fluting around the sides, and no bottom. The
ring is set on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or a non-stick
baking mat, and then filled. The baking sheet serves as the bottom of the pan. Flan
rings are used to shape open-faced tarts, pastry shells, and some candies.

Tart Pans:
Tart pans normally have a fluted edge and may come in round, square, or
rectangular shapes. They often have a removable bottom which makes is easy to
remove the tart without damaging the delicate crust. Since tart pans are normally
shallow, about 1 inch deep, the tart crust stars equally along with the filling.

Tartlette Pans:
Small tartlette pans are designed as a one-serving size, perfect for buffets or teas.
Six 4 or 4½ Tartlette pans will normally replace one large 9 inch tart recipe.
Tartlette pans can also be used to make individual cakes and muffins.

Tarte Tatin Pan:


A classic Tarte Tatin pan is 9½ inch diameter copper, lined with tin or stainless
steel, with handles on the sides to make unmolding easy. Tarte Tatin is a
caramelized upside-down apple tart, a classic French dessert. The pastry is placed
over the caramelized apples before baking, and then after baking, the tart is turned
out of the pan so the pastry is on the bottom.

Specialty Pans, Molds, and Dishes
Baba Molds:
Baba molds are tall straight-sided, cylindrical shaped molds about
1½ to 3 inches in diameter, and 1½ to 4 inches in height. They are
specifically designed for the classic yeast-raised sweet cakes called
Babas. These same molds can be used for individual parfaits,
mousses, and ice cream desserts.

Brioche Molds:
A brioche mold is a deep, beautifully fluted round mold, made of
tinned steel. They are specifically made for baking the traditional
French knot-shaped brioche loaf. A small brioche mold can also be
used for baking small cakes, muffins, and individual sweet breads.
A large brioche mold can be used for larger cakes and sweet breads.

Ceramic Baking Dishes:


Ceramic dishes come is round, oval, and rectangular shapes, and a variety of
colors. They are perfect for baking crustless fruit desserts such as fruit
crisps, cobblers, crumbles, and bread puddings, allowing your dessert to go from
the oven to your table.

Charlotte Molds:
A classic French Charlotte mold is a round, tinned steel mold shaped like a
straight-sided bucket, and a handle on each side. A charlotte is lined with
ladyfingers, madeleines, cake, or occasionally bread, and then filled with mousse,
custard, cream, or fruit.
Double Boiler:
A double boiler is a set of two pans nested together, with enough room in the
bottom pan for 1 or 2 inches of water. Double boilers are used to cook or heat
foods that need gentle heat, such as melting chocolate. The water in the bottom
pan is brought to a simmer, and the second pan is set on top.

Popover Pans:
Popover pans have deep, narrow cups, which force the popover batter to rise up
and out, producing the typical tall popover shape. Popover pans made of a dark
metal produce the best crust with a golden brown color. A muffin pan may be
substituted; however the finished popovers will not be as tall.

Madeleine Pans:
Madeleine’s are a small and tender French cake that is baked in a special pan
called a Madeleine pan with shell-shaped imprints. The Madeleine pan, also
known as a Madeleine plaque, must be generously greased and floured to prevent
the delicate cakes from sticking to the pan. Madeleine’s are sometimes thought of
as a cookie, but are actually little buttery spongy cakes, sometimes delicately
flavored with lemon, orange, or almond. Madeleine pans usually have 8 or 12
shallow shell-shaped imprints, and come in tinned steel, metal with

finish, and pliable silicone. A Madeleine pan can also be used to make other
formed cookies, such as shortbread, tiny muffins, and petits fours.
Mixing Bowls
A good set of mixing bowls will be your constant companion while baking, used for
mixing, whipping creams or egg whites, preparing ingredients, raising breads, or
just storing food in the refrigerator.
These are a set of clear glass nesting bowls, providing several sizes to choose from
depending on the task at hand, and with several bowls you don’t have to wash and
reuse the same bowl as often. Glass bowls are also microwave safe and can be
used on top of a double boiler. Have at least one small, one medium, and one large
mixing bowl, and having two of each is even better. Having one extra-small and
one extra-large bowls are also useful to have.

Stainless steel bowls are another good all-around choice; they are lightweight,
durable, and can be heated, but can tend to dent easily and are not microwave
safe.

Crockery bowls are very attractive, and normally oven-safe, however they are
heavier and can chip if you’re not careful with them.

Copper bowls are beautiful and expensive. However no bowl is better for beating
egg whites into meringue. A chemical reaction occurs between the egg protein and
the copper, giving the egg whites greater volume and stability than when they are
beaten in a stainless steel or other bowl. Copper is often used when making candy
and sugars since it is an excellent conductor of heat.

Acrylic bowls come in fun colors, and are lightweight, but may not be micro-wave
safe.

Plastic bowls and aluminum bowls are the least desirable. Plastic will absorb odors
and fat which can transfer into your ingredients. Aluminum bowls will react to
acidic foods to impart a metal taste.

Measuring Tools

Good quality measuring spoons and cups or a scale is a must for baking. Baking is
a precise science and all measuring should be precise to ensure successful baking.
Measuring Spoons:
Basic measuring spoon sets include measures for 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon,
1 teaspoon, and 1 tablespoon. Larger measuring spoon sets may also include 1/8
teaspoon, 3/4 teaspoon, and 1/2 tablespoon. My favorite measuring spoons are

MARIA BELINA A. HUBAHIB Revision # 00
Pastry Products
stainless steel as they have sharp precise edges and provide the most accurate
measuring.

Measuring spoons are used for measuring small amounts of ingredients such as
spices, leaveners, and extracts, and very small amounts of liquids. Pour liquids,
such as vanilla extract, to the rim of the spoon; level dry ingredients, such as salt
or baking soda with a straightedge. It’s helpful to have two sets of measuring
spoons so you don’t have to wash and dry the spoons to measure multiple
ingredients.

Dry Measuring Cups:


Basic dry measuring cups are purchased in a set that includes 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup,
1/2 cup, and 1 cup. Larger measuring cup sets may also include 1/8

cup, 2/3 cup, 3/4 cup and 1½ cup measures. A dry measuring cup does not have
a pouring spout; instead they should have a straight edge to allow for easy leveling.
Dry measuring cups are used to measure all dry ingredients such as flour, sugar,
and oats, also for semisolid ingredients such as jam, shortening, sour cream, and
peanut butter.

When measuring, add the ingredient into the measuring cup so that it is mounded
and overfull, and then level it off by sweeping a straight edge, such as a metal ruler
or knife, across the top of the measuring cup, leveling off the ingredient. My
favorite measuring cups are stainless steel as they are the most durable and have
the best edges; however you may also find acrylic cups you prefer. It’s helpful to
have two sets of measuring cups so you don’t have to wash and dry the cups to
measure multiple ingredients.

Liquid Measuring Cups:


All liquid ingredients, such as water, milk, or juice are measured in a liquid
measuring cup. Liquid measuring cups should be made of clear glass or plastic,
have a pouring spout, and have clear measurement markings on the side. It is
handy to have a 1 cup measure, along with a 2 cup and 4 cup measure for most
baking projects. Liquid measuring cups are also handy for warming milk or
melting butter in the microwave. To accurately measure, place the measuring cup
on a flat surface and pour the liquid in up to the marking for the amount you
need. Let the liquid stop swishing around to determine the level it is at.

Ruler:
An everyday 18 inch clear plastic, metal, or wood ruler is a helpful tool for
measuring pans, measuring rolled pastry dough, cutting bar cookies into uniform
sizes, as a guide when splitting cakes into equal layers, or measuring 1 inch cuts

for cinnamon rolls. The ruler also provides a neat, straight cutting edge and is easy
to wash.

Scales:
Professional bakers use scales to weigh ingredients instead
of using measuring cups to measure by volume, for the
simple reason that weight measurements are more
precise and accurate. Scales are used to measure dry
ingredients, along with nuts, dried and fresh fruits, and
chocolate, and to measure out portions of dough. The scale
is also helpful to determine if multiple cake pans have the
same amount of batter.

There are two types of scales, digital and mechanical, with digital scales
being the most accurate. A thin, battery powered digital scale with a flat platform
for weighing is affordable and is the easiest to use for most home bakers. Look for
a scale that measures up to about 10 pounds, has an automatic shut-off that will
remain on for at least 5 minutes, has a “tare” button to reset the scale to zero in
order to measure the next ingredient, and the ability to change from pounds and
ounces to metric. In addition, all the buttons and controls should be on the front
of the scale, not the bottom or the back of the scale.

Stirring and Whisking Tools


Rubber or Silicone Spatulas:
Rubber or Silicone spatulas are one of the most versatile and important tools in a
baking kitchen. Rubber spatulas have mostly been replaced with silicone spatulas
which are easier to clean and have a higher heat resistance.
Spatulas have many uses including scraping batters down from
the sides and bottom of a mixing bowl, spreading fillings, stirring
stovetop custards and chocolate while heating, folding lighter
ingredients into heavy batters, scrambling eggs, and more.

Spatulas come in a variety of sizes and may be made of a solid piece of silicone or
have a silicone blade attached to a wooden, plastic or stainless steel handle. A
small 1 inch spatula is handy for scraping out the inside of measuring cups and
containers. A 2 inch spatula is good for stirring, blending, and scraping the sides
and bottom of a mixing bowl. A larger 3 inch spatula is best for folding ingredients
together.

Whisks:
A wire whisk is another versatile baking tool, used to whisk or stir
wet or dry ingredients together, beating egg whites or cream,
stirring ingredients as they heat in a saucepan and folding
ingredients together. Whisks come in various sizes and strength
of wire. The stronger the wire, the heavier the task the whisk can
perform. A sauce whisk is long and narrow, designed to blend mixtures, reach into
the corners of a saucepan, and whisk out any lumps without incorporating a lot of

air into the mixture. A round, fat balloon whisk is designed to add air to mixtures
and is the best choice for whipping egg whites and heavy cream. A small mini
whisk is also helpful for small jobs such as beating eggs or egg yolks.

Wooden Spoons:
Nothing beats a good set of wooden spoons in the kitchen. Wooden spoons are
strong and durable, withstand heat, won’t scratch nonstick pans, and perfect for
stirring almost anything, including hot liquids on the stovetop. Purchase spoons
that are well made, strong, and made from a hard wood.
Pie and Pastry Tools
Bench Scraper:
Also called a board scraper, or dough scraper; this is one of my favorite tools in the
kitchen. Bench scrapers measure about 6 by 3 inches, have a straight edge, are
normally marked with measurement markings, and have a plastic
or wooden handle or curved edge for gripping.

Bench scrapers can be used for everything from cutting dough, to


scraping flour or crumbs off a pastry board or counter, loosening
dough from a work surface as you knead, scoring certain cookies
such as shortbread, leveling a cup when measuring dry ingredients, transferring
pastry or bread dough from one place to another, and transferring chopped nuts or
chocolate from a cutting board into a bowl. My favorite tool to cut bar cookies is a
stainless steel bench scraper; simply push the bench scraper straight down into
the cookie for straight cuts.

Dough Scraper:
Also known as a pastry scraper, a dough scraper is a small,
flexible plastic scraper that is rounded on one edge and flat on the
other. The rounded edge is used to get every last bit of batter,
dough, or frosting out of a mixing bowl, or flour and dough bits off
your rolling pin. The flat edge can be used to clean your work surface or spread
and level batters in pans. A dough scraper is also good for cleaning stuck-on food
from pans.

Flour Duster:
Also known as a flour wand or flour shaker, this old-fashioned
tool is used to dust a work surface with flour, allowing you to
have just a light dusting instead of scattered handfuls of flour.
The Flour duster has a ball of coiled metal that is filled with
flour; when the handle is squeezed it lets out just a small
amount of flour. The flour duster can also be used to lightly
sprinkle confectioner’s sugar or cocoa on top of cakes.

Flour Sifter:
Flour sifters are used when a recipe calls for sifted flour. The most common sifter
is a canister type with either a single mesh screen, or triple mesh screen and a
rotating blade that is controlled by a rotary or squeeze handle. Choose a sifter
with at least a three-cup capacity. A sifter can sift any dry ingredient, including
flour, cocoa powder, and confectioner’s sugar.

Metal Spatulas:
Nothing works better for removing baked cookies from a cookie
sheet than a thin metal spatula. Choose one that is wide enough
to slip under the cookies, a 2½ or 3 inch width is a good size for
most baking needs.

Non-Stick Baking Mat:


Non-stick baking mats, normally made of silicon, are truly
remarkable. The most widely known name brand is Silpat. No
longer do you need to grease a cookie sheet, instead line the pan
with a non-stick baking mat and your cookies will just slide
off the mat and not stick. These mats are easy to clean in warm
soapy water, and will last for years.

Parchment Paper:
Parchment paper, also known as baking paper, is a baker’s secret
weapon. Parchment paper is used to line baking sheets before
baking cookies, ensuring cookies that won’t stick to the pan, lining
cake pans to allow cakes to slide right out of the pan, and
for folding into cones for piping icing or chocolate. Use a sheet of
parchment paper to cover your work surface to make cleanup
easier. After using a piece of parchment paper, simply throw it
away.

Parchment paper is coated with silicone, making it greaseproof, moisture resistant,


and nonstick. It is reusable for some baking projects, especially when lining a
baking pan and baking batches of cookies. Parchment paper is sold in sheets sized
for half sheets 13 x 18 inch, and full sheets 18 x 26 inch, precut triangle to make
pastry cones or rolls so you can determine the size you want to tear off and use.

Pastry Bag and Decorating Tips:


Pastry bags and pastry tips are used to pipe decorative borders of
icing or chocolate onto cakes and cookies, or for pressing out small
cookies or chocolate shapes.

Pastry bags are available in plastic lined canvas that is reusable, or disposable
bags made of parchment or plastic. Icing is spooned into the bag,
and then squeezed out through a decorative metal tip attached to
the end of the bag. Reusable pastry bags should be washed in
warm, soapy water and dried completely before storing. For very
small amounts of frosting or chocolate, you can also use a small
resealable plastic bag with a very small piece of the corner snipped
off.
Pastry tips, also known as decorating tips, are available in a huge array of designs
and sizes. They are made of stainless steel or chrome-plated, and placed in the
small end of the pastry bag. When the icing is pushed through it forms
the design of the tip. Use a coupler (a plastic ring) when you want to
change to different tips using the same icing without first having to
empty and clean the pastry bag. Pastry tips should be washed in warm,
soapy water and dried completely before storing.

Pastry Blender:
A pastry blender, also known as a dough blender, is used to cut
butter or other fat into dry ingredients, such as when making
piecrust, scones, or biscuits. A pastry blender has stainless steel
wires shaped into a half-moon, with a stainless or wooden handle for
gripping. In place of a pastry blender, two kitchen knives also work
well for cutting the ingredients together.

Pastry Brushes:
Pastry brushes are used to brush liquid type ingredients onto
pastries or breads. For example use a pastry brush to brush
butter onto a hot loaf of bread, or an egg wash onto bagels, or
milk onto a pie crust, or to wash down the sides of a
saucepan when melting and caramelizing sugar. A pastry
brush is even helpful for brushing excess flour from dough
during rolling, and brushing up spilled flour on the kitchen
counter. Choose a high quality brush with either natural
bristles or silicone bristles that are securely attached to the handle. High quality
pastry brushes are easy to clean with soap and water and should last for years.

Pastry Boards and Mats:


Use a wooden pastry board to roll out perfectly shaped pie crusts,
pizza crust, sugar cookies, or bread dough. Some boards are
marked with measurements guides so you can roll out the exact
dimension you need.

Marble is the best surface for rolling dough and pastry, as the marble keeps the
dough cool. On hot days, you can quickly cool the marble down by placing a bag of
ice on the surface for 15 minutes before working with your dough. Marble boards
or slabs normally have small feet on the underside to protect your countertop from

Pastry maps are a non-stick surface that easily releases the
dough. Pastry mats are thin, lightweight, and easy to clean and
store.

Pastry Crimper:
A pastry crimper is a small, stainless steel tweezer with serrated
tips. It is used to seal the top and bottom crust of a pie together,
or to decoratively finish the edge of a single-crust pie or tart pastry
shell.

Pastry Cutters:
Similar to cookie cutters, pastry cutter are normally very small,
less than 2 inches in size, and are used to cut shapes such as
leaves or fruits from pie crust to decorate the top of a pie. The cut-
out shapes can be laid directly on the filling, or placed on the top
crust, or around the edge of the pie.

Pastry Docker:
A pastry docker is a cylinder, about 5 inches long, with sharp spikes at ½ inch
intervals around the surface. It is used to poke holes in pastry doughs, such as pie
dough or puff pastry. In place of a pastry docker a fork can also be used.

Pastry Wheel:
A pastry wheel is used to cut strips of pastry, such as for making a lattice top pie
crust, or pieces of dough for turnovers or ravioli. Pastry wheels may have a smooth
blade or have a jagged or fluted edged blade.

Pie Birds:
Pie birds are an old-fashioned way of venting a pie to allow the steam and bubbling
juices to escape from the pie while baking. Pie birds are ceramic figurines placed in
a cutout portion of the top pie pastry. Not really very practical, it is easier to just
slash or cut vents in the pie pastry before baking to accomplish the same task.

Pie Weights:
When making a blind baked pie crust, pie weights, which are small reusable
ceramic balls about the size of marbles, are poured into the pastry lined pie pan
before baking to prevent the pastry from puffing up and shrinking. In place of
ceramic pie weights, you can also line the pastry with parchment paper and then
fill with dried beans or uncooked rice.

A pie chain is a beaded chain that you coil onto the unbaked pastry. After baking,
use tongs or a fork to list the hot chain out. A pie chain should be 6 or 10 feet long
to completely cover the pastry.

Piecrust Shield:
The edges of a pie are the most susceptible to burning as a pie
bakes. A piecrust shield is a lightweight aluminum ring that is
placed around the edge of the pie to prevent the edges from over
baking. In place of a piecrust shield, strips of aluminum foil work
just as well.

Rolling Pin:
A good rolling pin is essential for rolling pie pastry, sugar cookie dough, and bread
dough. There are two basic styles of rolling pins, dowel and ball
bearing. When deciding which to buy try it out on a flat surface
and choose the one that is most comfortable for you to use. A
rolling pin, if properly taken care of, should last a lifetime. Never
submerge it in water or place in the dishwasher. To clean simply
wipe it down with a warm damp cloth and allow to air dry.
A dowel rolling pin is a single piece of
rounded wood, some have tapered ends,
and some are long and straight. To roll, place your
hands in the center of the pin and roll from the
fingertips to the palm of your hand and back again. My
favorite is a French tapered pin, perfect for rolling a
circular pastry.
Ball bearing pins have a long barrel in the center, made of wood, marble, metal, or
plastic, that moves separately from the handles. The handles are what bear your
weight as you are rolling dough.

Rolling Pin Rings:


Also called rolling pin spacers, these are rubber rings that slip
onto opposite ends of your rolling pan, and are ideal for getting
your dough to an even, uniform thickness. The rings raise the pin
from the counter a precise distance according to the thickness of
the rings being used. The thickness of the dough is determined by the space
between the pin and the counter.

Rolling Pin Covers and Pastry Board Cloths:


These cotton gauze cloths are designed to keep pastry
dough from sticking to the rolling pin and pastry board. The
rolling pin sleeve is a cylinder of gauze that fits over the
pin; the cloth is a large square, normally canvas that

Pastry Products MARIA BELINA A. HUBAHIB Revision # 00
covers the pastry board or work area on which you are rolling. By rubbing flour
into the weave of the cloth and rolling pin cover, you create a nonstick coating,
enabling you to roll dough more easily, and allowing less flour to be absorbed into
the dough. The pastry cloth also allows you to easily rotate the pastry as you are
rolling.

Wire Cooling Racks:


Wire cooling racks are a necessity for setting just-out-of-the-oven hot baking pans
to cool. Hot pans placed on a flat surface can cause the baked item to become
soggy, due to condensation that forms under the pan. Cooling racks are also
helpful to use when drizzling icing or chocolate on top of cookies, cakes, or pastries
as the icing drips thru the rack instead of forming a puddle.

Cooling racks are sold in various sizes, including round, square,


and rectangular shapes. They should have feet of at least ½ inch
that raise them above the counter for good air circulation. Have
at least one rack that is large enough to hold several batches of
cookies.

Commercial ovens

Stand Mixer:
A good stand mixer is the heart and soul of a baker’s kitchen and
worth the price if you love to bake. I love my Kitchen Aid mixer,
and except for pies and tarts, is used for most of my baking
projects. Stand mixers range in size from 4 quart to 7 quart. The
smaller models will serve most home baking needs. But if you like
to bake double batches of cookies or bread dough’s, then you’ll
want the larger size mixers. Most mixers come with a whip, and dough hook, and
paddle attachments, which are used to knead doughs, beat meringues, and fold
batters smoothly together.

Hand Mixer:
Not every mixing job in the kitchen requires a large stand
mixer, and this is where the hand mixer comes into play. A
hand mixer can perform nearly any beating and whipping task
that a stand mixer can, except for very heavy cookie and bread
dough. I usually use a hand mixer for quick or small jobs,
such as beating cream cheese, whipping cream or egg whites,
beating egg yolks, and making cake frostings. I also use a
hand mixer to make fluffy mashed potatoes.

Blender:
A blender is a great tool for pureeing fruits and vegetables, mixing bar
drinks and smoothies, chopping ice, making dips, and chopping small
amounts of nuts. Blenders will chop, mix, whip, and blend almost
anything.

Food Processor:
A food processor is an expensive investment; however it is a versatile
machine for chopping, dicing, mixing pastry dough, mixing some cookie
dough’s, and pureeing fruit. Food processors come in various sizes. A
good all-around size is a 1½ to 2 quart capacity. I like to use a mini food
processor for small jobs such as chopping nuts quickly.

Feel free to share your tips on achieving fluffier heights, softer textures, and even
rising.
Here are a few simple ones to start:

1. Ensure your ingredients are at the right temperature!


2. Egg whites for whisking should always be cold. Also- use a cold bowl for
speedy whipping.
3. Eggs for creaming should always be room temperature.
4. Butter for creaming should always be room temperature.
5. Butter for whisking into choux pastries and sauces for enrichment, should
always be cold, and cut into small even sizes.

6. Always sieve your dry ingredients.


7. Only fold your ingredients using a metal spoon, and a figure of eight over
and under pattern.
8. Always use exact measurements for baking.
9. Don't mix up baking powder and baking soda.
10. Shake off excess flour from pan when you have greased and floured it.
11. USE REAL BUTTER! For the love of God!
12. Pre-heat your oven, it makes a huge difference.
13. Once you have incorporated the dry ingredients into a cake, bake it
straight away. The air will escape if you let it sit.
14. Try lining the bottom of the tin with baking parchment for easy cake
removal.

Processes

There are eleven events that occur concurrently during baking, and some of them,
such as starch glutenization, would not occur at room temperature.
1. Fats melt;
2. Gases form and expand
3. Microorganisms die
4. Sugar dissolves
5. Egg and gluten proteins coagulate
6. Starches gelatinise
7. Gases evaporate
8. Caramelization and Maillard browning occur on crust
9. Enzymes are inactivated
10. Changes occur to nutrients
11. Pectin breaks down.

Pastry may also refer to the dough from which such baked products are made.
Pastry dough is rolled out thinly and used as a base for baked products. Common
pastry dishes include pies, tarts, quiches and pasties.

Pastry is differentiated from bread by having a higher fat content, which


contributes to a flaky or crumbly texture. A good pastry is light and airy and fatty,
but firm enough to support the weight of the filling. When making a short crust
pastry, care must be taken to blend the fat and flour thoroughly before adding any
liquid. This ensures that the flour granules are adequately coated with fat and less
likely to develop gluten. On the other hand, over mixing results in long gluten
strands that toughen the pastry. In other types of pastry, such as Danish
pastry and croissants, the characteristic flaky texture is achieved by repeatedly
rolling out a dough similar to that for yeast bread, spreading it with butter, and
folding it to produce many thin layers of folds.
Main types of pastry

Pecan and maple Danish pastry,


a puff pastry type

Profiterole or cream puff, a choux pastry

Strudel, a phyllo pastry

Shortcrust pastry
Shortcrust, or short, pastry is the simplest and most common pastry. It is
made with flour, fat, butter, salt, and water. This is used mainly in tarts. It
is also the pastry that is used most often in making a quiche. The process of
making pastry includes mixing of the fat and flour, adding water, and rolling
out the paste. The fat is mixed with the flour first, generally by rubbing with
fingers or a pastry blender, which inhibits gluten formation and results in a
soft, tender pastry. A related type is the sweetened sweetcrust pastry.

Flaky pastry is a simple pastry that expands when cooked due to the
number of layers. It bakes into a crisp, buttery pastry. The "puff" is obtained
by beginning the baking process with a high temperature and lowering the
temperature to finish.
Puff pastry
Puff pastry has many layers that cause it to expand or “puff” when baked.
Pastries are made using flour, butter, salt, and water. Pastry rises up due to
the combination and reaction of the four ingredients and also from the air
that gets between the layers. Puff pastries come out of the oven light, flaky,
and tender.
Choux pastry
Choux pastry is a very light pastry that is often filled with cream. The pastry
is filled with various flavors of cream and is often topped with chocolate.
Choux pastries can also be filled with ingredients such as cheese, tuna, or
chicken to be used as appetizers.
Phyllo (Filo)
Phyllo is a paper-thin pastry dough, used in many layers. The phyllo is
generally wrapped around a filling and brushed with butter before baking.
These pastries are very delicate and flaky.

Background

Pastries go back to the ancient Mediterranean with almost paper-thin, multi-


layered baklava and filo. Northern Europe took on pastry-making after
the Crusaders brought it back from the Mediterranean. French and
Italian Renaissance chefs eventually perfected the Puff and Choux pastries, while
17th and 18th century chefs brought new recipes to the table. [4] These new pastries
included brioche, Napoleons, cream puffs, and éclairs. French chef Antonin
Carême reportedly was the first to incorporate art in pastry making.
Shortcrust pastry - is a basic pastry of half fat to flour made by using the rubbing
in method.
It is used to savoury flans - such as quiche

Sweet shortcrust pastry - has added sugar and is perfect for making sweet pies
such as apple pie.
Choux pastry - makes light, crsip, hollow buns such as in profiteroles and eclairs
Filo pastry - thin sheets of pastry. Used with both sweet and savoury fillings.
Puff pastry - a layered pastry used to top pies such as a chicken pie

CHARACTERISTICS OF PASTRY PRODUCTS

GOOD CHARACTERISTICS OF A PASTRY

| By Falice Chin

Pastry is different from other baked goods in


that it's generally sweeter, more flaky and
buttery. Not surprisingly, then, pastry also has a
higher caloric count. Some of the most
common pastry dishes include tarts, cookies,
baklava, waffles and pies. A good pastry
should be light, flaky and tender, which
requires careful measurement and handling of
ingredients during the making process.
LIGHTNESS
The lightness of a pastry depends on the amount of air fused into the dough after
adding baking powder. If the ingredients and tools, including hands, used are cold,
or if the pastry is placed in a refrigerator before being worked, the pastry will rise
and expand more.

Flakiness
When making the dough, make sure the shortening is not completely mixed in
with the dry ingredients, but is left in lumps approximately one inch wide each.
When the dough is rolled, the shortening will keep the particles of the pastry
separate, creating a flaky texture.

Tenderness
The more fat and water used, the more tender the pastry will be. Avoid over-mixing
or over-kneading the dough, which can result in a tougher, drier pastry.

Final Touches
Even the most perfect pastry can be ruined if there is too much filling, glaze or
topping. The final touches are just as important as the mixing and handling of the
dough. A good pastry should be light and tender, but also strong enough to hold
toppings like fruits, chocolates and nuts.

Properties and requirements of yeast and control of yeast action

Yeast, the most common one being S. cerevisiae, is used in baking as a leavening
agent, where it converts the food/fermentable sugars present in dough into the
gas carbon dioxide. This causes the dough to expand or rise as gas forms pockets
or bubbles. When the dough is baked, the yeast dies and the air pockets "set",
giving the baked product a soft and spongy texture. The use of potatoes, water
from potato boiling, eggs, or sugar in a bread dough accelerates the growth of
yeasts. Most yeasts used in baking are of the same species common in alcoholic
fermentation. In addition, Saccharomyces exiguus (also known as S. minor), a wild
yeast found on plants, fruits, and grains, is occasionally used for baking. In bread
making, the yeast initially respires aerobically, producing carbon dioxide and
water. When the oxygen is depleted, fermentation begins, producing ethanol as a
waste product; however, this evaporates during baking.

A block of compressed fresh yeast


It is not known when yeast was first used to bake bread. The first records that
show this use came from Ancient Egypt.
Researchers speculate a mixture of flour meal and water was left longer than
usual on a warm day and the yeasts that occur in natural contaminants of the
flour caused it to ferment before baking. The resulting bread would have been
lighter and tastier than the normal flat, hard cake.
Active dried yeast, a granulated form in which yeast is commercially sold

Today, there are several retailers of baker's yeast;

Pastry Products
one of the best-known in North America is Fleischmann's Yeast, which was
developed in 1868. During World War II, Fleischmann's developed
a granulated active dry yeast, which did not require refrigeration, had a
longer shelf life than fresh yeast and that rose twice as fast. Baker's yeast is also
sold as a fresh yeast compressed into a square "cake". This form perishes quickly,
and must, therefore, be used soon after production. A weak solution of water and
sugar can be used to determine whether yeast is expired. In the solution, active
yeast will foam and bubble as it ferments the sugar into ethanol and carbon
dioxide. Some recipes refer to this as proofing the yeast as it "proves" (tests) the
viability of the yeast before the other ingredients are added. When using
a sourdough starter, flour and water are added instead of sugar; this is referred to
as proofing the sponge.
When yeast is used for making bread, it is mixed with flour, salt, and warm water or
milk. The dough is kneaded until it is smooth, and then left to rise, sometimes until it
has doubled in size. Some bread doughs are knocked back after one rising and left
to rise again. A longer rising time gives a better flavour, but the yeast can fail to raise
the bread in the final stages if it is left for too long initially. The dough is then shaped
into loaves, left to rise until it is the correct size, and then baked. Bread
machine recipes usually call for dried yeast; however, a (wet) sourdough starter can
also work.

Types of baker's yeast


 Active dried yeast, a granulated form in which yeast is commercially sold
Baker's yeast is available in a number of different forms, the main
differences being the moisture contents. [13] Though each version has certain
advantages over the others, the choice of which form to use is largely a
question of the requirements of the recipe at hand and the training of the
cook preparing it. Dry yeast forms are good choices for longer-term storage,
often lasting several months at room temperatures without significant loss of
viability.[14] With occasional allowances for liquid content and temperature,
the different forms of commercial yeast are generally considered
interchangeable.
 Cream yeast is the closest form to the yeast slurries of the 19th century,
being essentially a suspension of yeast cells in liquid, siphoned off from the
growth medium. Its primary use is in industrial bakeries with special high-
volume dispensing and mixing equipment, and it is not readily available to
small bakeries or home cooks.[15]

 Compressed yeast is essentially cream yeast with most of the liquid


removed. It is a soft solid, beige in color, and arguably best known in the
consumer form as small, foil-wrapped cubes of cake yeast. It is also
available in larger-block form for bulk usage. [16] It is highly perishable;
though formerly widely available for the consumer market, it has become
less common in supermarkets in some countries due to its poor keeping
properties, having been superseded in some such markets by active dry and
instant yeast. It is still widely available for commercial use, and is somewhat
more tolerant of low temperatures than other forms of commercial yeast;
however, even there, instant yeast has made significant market inroads.

 Active dry yeast is the form of yeast most
commonly available to noncommercial
bakers in the United States. It consists of
coarse oblong granules of yeast, with live
yeast cells encapsulated in a thick jacket of dry,
dead cells with some growth medium.
Under most conditions, active dry yeast
must first be proofed or rehydrated. It can be stored at room temperature for
a year, or frozen for more than a decade, which means that it has better
keeping qualities than other forms, but it is generally considered more
sensitive than other forms to thermal shock when actually used in recipes.

A single grain of active dry yeast. The numbered ticks on the scale are 230 µm
apart
 Instant yeast appears similar to active dry yeast, but has smaller granules
with substantially higher percentages of live cells per comparable unit
volumes.[15] It is more perishable than active dry yeast, but also does not
require rehydration, and can usually be added directly to all but the driest
dough. Instant yeast generally has a small amount of ascorbic acid added as
a preservative. Some producers provide two or more forms of instant yeast in
their product portfolio; for example, Le Saffre's "SAF Instant Gold" is
designed specifically for dough with high sugar contents. These are more
generally known as osmotolerant yeasts.[17]

 Rapid-rise yeast is a variety of dried yeast (usually a form of instant yeast)


that is of a smaller granular size, thus it dissolves faster in dough, and it
provides greater carbon dioxide output to allow faster rising. [18] There is
considerable debate as to the value of such a product; while most baking
experts believe it reduces the flavor potential of the finished product, Cook's
Illustrated magazine, among others, feels that at least for direct-rise recipes,
it makes little difference. Rapid-rise yeast is often marketed specifically for
use in bread machines.

For most commercial uses, yeast of any form is packaged in bulk (blocks or freezer
bags for fresh yeast; vacuum-packed brick bags for dry or instant); however, yeast
for home use is often packaged in pre-measured doses, either small squares for
compressed yeast or sealed packets for dry or instant. For active dry and instant
yeast, a single dose (reckoned for the average bread recipe of between 500 g and
1000 g of dough) is generally about 2.5 tsp (~12 mL) or about 7 g (1/4 ounce),
though comparatively lesser amounts are used when the yeast is used in a pre-
ferment. A yeast flavor in the baked bread is generally not noticeable when
the bakers' percent of added yeast is less than 2.5.[19]
Because it is readily available and easy to culture, baker's yeast has long been
used in chemical, biological, and genetic research. In 1996, after 6 years of
work, S. cerevisiae became the first eukaryote to have its
entire genome sequenced. It has over 12 million base pairs and around
6000 genes. Since then it has remained in the forefront of genetic research.

For example, most of our knowledge of the cell division cycle was worked out from

Reduction of a carbonyl to a hydroxyl with baker's yeast.


Baker's yeast contains enzymes which can reduce a carbonyl group into
a hydroxyl group in fairly high yield, thus making it a useful bio-reagent in
chemical syntheses.[20] It is known to reduce organometallic carbonyl compounds
in very high yield.
Baker's yeast can also be used to produce ethanol via fermentation for use in
chemical synthesis, although doing so in some places requires permits

Effect of Temperature on Fermentation

Temperature changes have profound effects upon living things. Enzyme-


catalyzed reactions are especially sensitive to small changes in temperature.
Because of this, the metabolism of poikilotherms, organisms whose internal body
temperature is determined by their surroundings, are often determined by the
surrounding temperature. Bakers who use yeast in their bread making are very
aware of this. Yeast is used to leaven bread (make it rise). Yeast leavens bread by
fermenting sugar, producing carbon dioxide, CO2, as a waste product. Some of the
carbon dioxide is trapped by the dough and forms small “air” pockets that make
the bread light. If the yeast is not warmed properly, it will not be of much use as a
leavening agent; the yeast cells will burn sugar much too slowly. In this
experiment, you will watch yeast cells ferment (burn sugar in the absence of
oxygen) at different temperatures and measure their rates of fermentation. Each
team will be assigned one temperature and will share their results with other class
members. You will observe the yeast under anaerobic conditions and monitor the
change in air pressure due to CO2 released by the yeast. When yeast burn sugar
under anaerobic conditions, ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and CO2 are released as shown
by the following equation:
C6H12O6→ 2 CH3
CH2OH + 2 CO2 + energy glucose ethanol carbon dioxide

Thus, the metabolic activity of yeast may be measured by monitoring the pressure
of gas in the test tube. If the yeast were to respire aerobically, there would be no
change in the pressure of gas in the test tube, because oxygen gas would be
consumed at the same rate as CO2 is produce.

Mixing and Dough Development

This is the part of baking that is intimidating to many new bakers, and it
doesn’t need to be. Please take a few minutes to read this section and begin to
learn what the dough should feel like and how to get it feeling like it is well
developed. Many of us started baking by using a bread machine or a Kitchen Aid
stand mixer to mix and knead the dough. While this works reasonably well, and
other methods are described below, you will learn more quickly how the dough
should feel in the different stages of development if you use the tools god gives us,
our hands. For thousands of years humans have made good bread using only a
crude bowl and their hands as tools. While commercial bakeries don’t have the
time to hand mix and shape thousands of loaves daily, much of what is wrong with
commercial bread starts here in the first phase of bread making.

Mixing: Start by gathering all of the needed ingredients for the recipe. If you are
making a basic French style bread that uses just the basic four ingredients (flour,
water, salt and yeast), measure or better, weigh each item carefully ahead of time
and have it in front of you ready to use. This might seem like over simplifying this

procedure but I can tell you from experience you will forget the salt or pour all the
water in without having measured it or can’t remember some additional ingredient,
if you don’t get organized, first.

In a large bowl, add all of the dry ingredients first and stir or mix them together
well. This means that Instant Dry Yeast and salt are added to the flour and any
other dry ingredients you may be using with your recipe. NOTE: If you are using
Active Dry Yeast, the directions for re activating this type of yeast call for adding
the yeast to a cup or so of the water (warmed) needed for the recipe 5 or 10
minutes ahead of mixing the dough. If you are using Cake Yeast, crumble it with
and into the flour using your fingers.
Continuing; Next, add all of the water and begin combining the flour into the
water. You can use your fingers, (yes it will be a mess but it is supposed to be) or a
spoon to accomplish this first mixing. Wood, Stainless Steel, Plastic, any kind of
spoon or bowl will do fine. When the mixture is mostly a shaggy mass and looks
like most of the dry flour is combined into the mass, you can stop, clean your
hands over the bowl and cover the bowl with a plastic bag or a damp towel or
plastic wrap. Plastic grocery bags are my 58avourite. Wait at least 15 minutes and
as long as an hour for the flour to absorb the water. When you come back to the
mix, it won’t feel anything like it did after first mixing. Scrape everything you can
onto a clean counter and quickly clean and dry the mixing bowl.
Kneading or Developing: This is the fun part of bread making. You are starting
with a mixture of flour, water, salt and yeast. At the moment it is just those things
put together in a bowl. We need to develop these things into something more, a
smooth dough. The best way to show you or tell you how to accomplish this is with
a video. There are many video clips that show similar techniques but this one I like
the best. Richard Bertinet has produced an excellent video with Gourmet Magazine
that shows the mixing technique above, and the slap and fold kneading technique
that many of us now use in some form or another. I urge you to watch this video
and learn to do this maneuver with the dough. As you will see in the video, the
dough gradually comes together and becomes smooth and flexible. Bertinet is
making a sweet dough with eggs and sugar but the method works on any kind of
dough or bread type. Finish by rounding and putting tension on the outer skin of
the dough and forming a ball.

Once the dough is well developed, smooth and rounded, lightly oil the now clean
mixing bowl with a few drops of oil on your fingers (or lightly spray regular cooking
oil into the bowl) and place the dough into the bowl, seams down and roll the ball
around to coat all the surfaces. Cover the bowl as before during what is called the
Primary Ferment. During the primary ferment, the dough will expand in volume as
the yeast begins to eat the sugars in the flour and create Carbon Dioxide. Your well
developed dough will trap those CO2 bubbles and form pockets that will become
the air pockets in the bread, making it lighter.

NOTE: For Whole Grain and Multi-Grain breads, It is advisable to not try and
develop the dough entirely by kneading. The sharper grains will cut the gluten
strands and allow the CO2 gas to escape. A Stretch and Fold will often work as
well, done during the primary ferment. A link to this procedure is provided below.

You can always come back to using some appliance to mix and knead your dough.
In fact some doughs are somewhat better suited to machine mixing, but not many.
You can easily produce wonderful bread in the manner of our ancestors.

Once the dough has doubled in volume you are ready for the next step, Shaping

There are a number of ways to develop dough. The easiest is probably to put it in a
Kitchen Aid-type mixer. About 8 to 10 minutes of mixing the ingredients in a
Kitchen Aid on low speed will generally do the trick.

There’s no need to buy a Kitchen Aid, though, to make good bread. Here are three
ways of developing dough by hand.

Traditional Kneading: Use this method when the dough will rise fairly quickly (1-
2 hours for the first rise) or if I’m in a hurry to get it developed.

First, mix the ingredients with a spoon until everything is hydrated. Cover and
wait about 15 to 20 minutes – this way, you’ll let the water do most of your work
for you (if you don’t have time for this step, feel free to skip it – you may have
knead just a little more, though). After this waiting period is done, scrape the
dough out of the bowl onto a smooth surface, and push on the down and forward
with the heels of your hands.
Fold it up back on itself, give the dough a quarter turn, and repeat.

Knead for about 4-5 minutes, and then cover it. Let it rest about 5 minutes, and
then knead once again for 1-2 minutes. It should be well developed at this point.

One way to test dough development is to tear off a small chunk and then
gently stretch it. If the dough is ready, you should be able to stretch it thin
enough so that it becomes translucent. This is called the “windowpane”test.

Stretch and Fold: This method adds about an hour to the rise of an ordinary
yeasted loaf, but when you’re working with sourdoughs or yeasted breads that
have a long rise anyway, it doesn’t make that much difference. And it takes hardly
active time at all – just a few minutes total.

Mix the ingredients with a spoon until hydrated. Cover and wait 30 minutes to 1
hour. After this rest, scrape the dough out of the bowl and stretch it to about twice
its length, if possible. For the first fold, the dough will still be pretty shaggy, so
only go as far as you can without ripping. Fold the dough like a letter, give it a
quarter turn, and then stretch and fold once again.
Place it back in the bowl and cover.
Repeat this folding process twice more with 20-30 minutes in between each one

Stretching and Folding Illustrated:


Here is the Stretch and Fold method illustrated by Mebake (Khalid). He has
artfully depicted the process of keeping the dough in the bowl while developing the

gluten and incorporating air into the dough. This easy to do technique is employed
by many members here and allows the baker the opportunity to develop the gluten
in a bowl during fermentation with little effort and no mess. Once you understand
how this works, I’m sure you will use it every time.

French fold: This is a great, quick method for developing


dough, but it requires a relatively long rest after everything is hydrated, so it’s
most appropriate for doughs with a long bulk rise.

Once everything is hydrated, cover


and let the dough rest for a least an hour. Remove the dough from the bowl onto a
smooth surface. With one hand on either side of the dough and your thumbs
underneath, stretch the dough parallel to your body while simultaneously folding it
in half along its length with your thumbs.

Give the dough a quarter turn, pick it up, and then throw it down onto the surface,
smooth side down. Really, smack it down. Stretch it again while simultaneously
folding it over with your thumbs, make another quarter turn, and give it yet
another smack with the smooth side down.

Do this about 10 times, and you’ll have a well developed dough. If it doesn’t seem
as developed as you’d like or if it starts to tear, let it rest for 5 minutes, and repeat.

Here's How:
1. Rinse your hands under the hottest running water you can stand — at least
100°F.
2. Soap up your hands — preferably using soap from a soap dispenser but bar
soap is OK. The key is to generate a good lather. Use an anti-bacterial soap
if possible.

3. Scrub for at least 30 seconds, making sure to soap up your wrist and lower
arm areas.
*Since you might be digging your fingers into ground meat or kneading
dough, you should also clean under your fingernails. Keep a nail brush by
your hand-washing sink, and use it.
4. Rinse thoroughly, again, for at least 30 seconds but longer if that's what it
takes to fully rinse off the soap.
5. Use a clean paper towel to turn off the faucet. Throw that towel away and
use a new paper towel for the next step.
6. Dry your hands using a clean paper towel — not a dishtowel or other cloth.
Why? Dishtowels hang around the kitchen and get wiped on everything,
making them the ideal vehicle for spreading bacteria from one kitchen tool
or surface to another — or onto your freshly washed hands.
Tips:
1. Wash your hands after using the restroom, before and after touching
raw food, after sneezing or coughing, after taking out the trash or using
any type of cleaning product — or in a word, frequently.

2. Don't use another body part, such as your upper arm or elbow, to shut off
the faucet. You'll just contaminate your elbow that way. Use a clean paper
towel, and throw it away afterward.
*Avoid, if possible, those hot-air hand dryers. They can sometimes harbor
bacteria, which are then blown onto your nice clean hands. Not good.
3. Don't go around with wet hands, either. Wet hands are more easily
contaminated than dry ones.

What You Need:


Hot running water.
Soap, preferably from a soap dispenser, and the anti-bacterial type if possible.
Nail brush (or a toothbrush) for cleaning fingernails.
Clean paper towels.

relies on rising steam to create a hollow centre that can be filled with cream or
custard. When making choux, you need to measure the ingredients carefully, and
don't open the oven until it's cooked or your pastry may run out of puff!

Place water and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook,
stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until butter melts and mixture just
comes to the boil.
2. Step 2
Add all the flour to the butter mixture at once and use a wooden
spoon to beat until well combined. Place over low heat and cook,
stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture forms a ball and
begins to come away from the side of the saucepan. Set aside for 5
minutes to cool slightly. Whisk 1 egg in a small bowl and set
aside. Whisk the remaining egg in a small bowl, then add it to the
flour mixture, beating well with a wooden spoon. Gradually add a
little of the reserved egg and beat until the mixture just falls from
the spoon but still holds its shape.
3. Step 3
Preheat oven to 200°C. Brush a baking tray with oil to lightly
grease. Spoon 25-30 teaspoonsful of the mixture onto tray, about
3cm apart. Alternatively, use a pastry bag fitted with a 1.5cm-
diameter plain piping nozzle to pipe the profiteroles onto the
baking tray. Brush the tops with a little of the remaining egg.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the profiteroles are
puffed and golden.
4. Step 4
Remove from oven and turn the oven off. Using a skewer or a
small knife, pierce the base (or top) of each profiterole to release
the steam. Return the profiteroles to the oven and leave them for
15 minutes to dry out. Remove the profiteroles from the oven and
transfer to a wire rack to cool.

 Perform proper hand washing
 Make sure that tools and equipment are sanitized
 Always wear protective clothing and the appropriate safety equipment.
 Mise – en – place
 Prepare Pastry Cream

Vanilla pastry cream can be used in profiteroles, or cream puffs, Napoleons,


éclairs, tarts, and Génoise cake. The use of crème patisserie is limited only by
your imagination; grace a simple or an elaborate French dessert recipe with it.
The results will be equally delicious.

Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Chill : 1 hour


Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes Yield: Fills 1 standard pastry recipe
Ingredients:

 1 ¼ cups whole milk


 3 egg yolks
 ¼ cup granulated sugar
 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preparation:
In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it is just
hot enough to steam. While the milk is warming, whisk together the egg
yolks, sugar, flour, and cornstarch until the mixture is completely
smooth.

Once the milk is steaming, add half of it, whisking constantly, to


the egg mixture. Add the milk and eggs back into the hot milk, continue
stirring, and heat it for 1-2 minutes, until the custard reaches 170F on
a digital thermometer and is very thick. Remove from the heat, stir in
the vanilla extract, and chill before filling pastry.

Phyllo or Filo pastry is delicious, crispy and paper thin. It’s ideal for
making savoury parcels, Greek style cheese pies,
samosas and spring rolls. You can buy it ready made
but it's a lot funnier making it from scratch:
Ingredients: water, 2 tbsp. olive oil, 112g (4oz) plain flour, pinch of salt

Procedure:
1. Sieve the flour and salt together in a bowl and gradually add water to make
a stiff dough.
2. Oil your hands lightly and knead the dough on a board, gradually working
in all of the olive oil this way until a smooth elastic dough is achieved.
3. Roll the dough in a little more olive oil, place in a bowl, cover with a damp
cloth and allow to stand in a warm place for a couple of hours to allow it to
rest.
4. Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll to ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thickness on a
lightly floured board.
5. Cover with a cloth and allow to relax again for 10 minutes.
6. Cover a worktop with a smooth, clean cloth and lift each piece of the rolled
dough onto it one at a time.
7. Putting your hands, palms down under the dough, gently stretch the
dough with the back of hands, rotating the cloth until the dough is
stretched and as thin as tissue paper and in an approximately 1’ x 1’ (30
cm x 30 cm) square.
8. Repeat with the other pieces of dough.
Brush with melted butter when cooking to maintain it's crisp quality.
Great for Greek, Eastern European and Middle Eastern recipes (especially
baklava).

Warning:
Be careful if using a knife when dividing the dough.

Learning Objective:
1. Define and describe what a Pate’ brisee is.

Pate’ brisee is a very light, flaky pastry dough. If you're only going to learn one
pastry dough, pate brisee should be it, because this dough is
incredibly versatile, and it can be used in everything from quiche to

chocolate tarts. It is also extremely easy to make, belying the myth
that making pie dough is difficult.

You may also see pate brisee referred to as “pate brisee fine.” In French, “pate
brisee” literally means “short dough,” a reference to the fact that it contains a very
high ratio of fat to flour. It is this ratio which gives pate brisee its unique
properties, turning it crumbly, flaky, and incredibly rich. This ratio also makes
pate brisee easy to work with, because it makes this dough more forgiving than
other pie and tart doughs.

 Pate brisee can also be frozen for up to three months, in which case it
should be thawed overnight before use.
 This pate brisee recipe makes enough dough for a covered pie; you can also
halve it if you just need a bottom crust.
 For a sweeter dough, add more sugar; you can use up to a tablespoon in this
recipe.
 For a more tart dough, cut down on the sugar, and up the salt a bit. Leave a
little bit of sugar in your pate brisee when you use it for savory recipes, as it
will provide a nice counterpoint to the savory flavor.
 You can also add things like lemon zest, nutmeg, and ground nuts to the
dough for extra texture and flavor.

Steps/Procedure:
Safety check
 Perform proper hand washing
 Make sure that tools and equipment are sanitized
 Always wear protective clothing and the appropriate safety
equipment. To make pate brisee,

1. Scoop out two and one half cups of flour, and then cut in one cup of chilled
butter. Use a fork or spoon to mash the ingredients together, being careful
not to let the butter melt into the flour. The goal is to create a loose, granular
mass, breaking the flour down into small grains so that the mixture looks
almost sandy.

2. Next, dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a third cup of ice water, along with a
teaspoon of sugar, and add the water all at once, using your trusty mixing
utensil to pull the ingredients into the dough.

3. Next, wash your hands with cool water, and use the heel of your hand to
smear the dough against the side of the mixing bowl several times. This
smearing action will create a multitude of small layers in the pate brisee,
causing to act almost like a puff pastry; the result will be a light, fluffy
dough, rather than a dense, heavy one.

 Use your hands to gather the dough into a ball, which you can either roll
out immediately, or chill for around an hour to make it more workable,
especially if it is hot.

TUILE COOKIES

Even if you don’t know what a tuile cookie is
(pronounced “twill” or “tweel”), you’ve probably
eaten them before. They’re delicate and sweet and
often stuck into desserts, especially ice cream, at
fancy restaurants. The great thing about tuile
cookies is that they come out of the oven soft and
pliable, allowing you to shape them whatever way
you want before they cool and harden. They’re
crisp and sweet and buttery–like the most delicate,
most delicious ice cream cone you’ve ever had. In
fact, ice cream cones are what got me thinking of
tuile.
Tuile cookies aren’t hard, but they do require
a few tools, some concentration, and the
willingness to lightly burn your fingers. Since I
don’t mind sacrificing myself for cookies, this
wasn’t a problem for me.

Just be forewarned. Here’s what you’ll need to make them:


 A silpat, or non-stick mat, or waxed parchment paper
 An offset spatula
 A clean piece of cardboard (not super thick) or tuile template
 Molds (bowl, rolled paper, whatever)
Vegan Tuile Cookies
Makes 1-2 dozen depending on size
1/2 Cup Earth Balance, softened
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 Tbs Flax Egg*
1 tsp Vanilla
1/4 tsp Salt
3/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour

Flax Egg
1 Tbs Flax Seed
1/4 Cup Water
Grind the flax seed to a powder in a spice grinder. Whisk with water and set aside.
Use 2 Tbs of this mixture for the tuile cookies,
you’ll have a little left over

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Whip the Earth Balance and sugar until light


and fluffy, so it looks like the photo above.
Once the Earth Balance is soft enough it
should whip up just fine.

Add flax egg, extract, and salt. Whip until you see
medium to stiff peaks like above. Gently fold in
flour and mix until well combined. Your batter is
ready, so prepare your workstation.

You can buy specialized tuile templates in lots of different shapes, but a piece of
clean cardboard works just as well. I traced a glass and cut the circle out with an
x-acto knife for my template. You can do circles, squares, rectangles, flowers, stars
– anything!

Put your template down on your silpat and add a glob of batter. Using your offset
spatula, carefully spread the batter out to fill the template, remove the excess
batter.

Lift the template up to remove it. You’re cookies are ready to go in the oven. Bake
the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. You may need to
experiment with baking time to reach the ideal balance between strength and
pliability.

I recommend not making more than 2-3


cookies at a time. You’ll need to shape them
immediately after they come out of the oven,
and since they harden quickly, it’s difficult
to shape more than 2 or 3 in one go.

It’s also important to completely cool the


baking sheet between each batch. Dump the
hot baking sheet in the sink and spray it
down with cold water. Dry thoroughly before the next batch.

When they come out of the oven, let them sit


on the cookie sheet for 15-30 seconds.

Gently remove them with a spatula and


shape them immediately (this is the part
where you might burn your fingers). You can
make all sorts of shapes. If your template
was circular, here are some ways you can
shape them. I’m in the process of forming
bowls in this picture, and I had already
made cones, cylinders, and tacos.

I used regular paper, rolled into cylinders and cones and taped, to make the other
shapes. Once cool the shape will set.

Now you can use them whichever way you want! I filled mine with almond soy
pudding and fresh strawberries. You can add them to ice cream, fill them with
vegan pastry cream, stuff them with berries or custard, dip them in chocolate–
whatever. If you want to make the cookies ahead, I recommend not filling them
until the last minute to prevent the cookies from getting soggy.
