Match the following steps in making yeast breads with their descriptions:

Portioning = Weighed on a portion scale to ensure uniformity Rounding = Shaped into smooth, round balls Shaping = Further shaped into the desired form Cooling and storing = Removed from the pan to allow air circulation

Match the following terms used in bread making with their meanings:

Gluten = The outside layer that becomes smooth Dough = Mixture that can hold gases during fermentation Yeast = Microorganism used for fermentation Moisture-proof bag = Used to wrap bread and prevent staleness

Match the following issues in bread storage with their solutions:

Becoming stale = Wrap in a moisture-proof bag Lack of air circulation = Place on a rack Improper shaping = Ensure dough is smooth before shaping Inconsistent portions = Use a portion scale for weighing

Match the following actions with their corresponding steps in bread making:

Weighing portions = Ensures uniformity in size Removing from the pan = Allows bread to cool Shaping dough = Prepares for final form Wrapping bread = Prevents moisture loss and staleness Signup and view all the answers

Match the yeast bread process steps with their descriptions:

Sponge = The thick batter resulting from the first stage of mixing Proof = Stage where the dough rises a second time Scaling ingredients = First step where ingredients are measured accurately Mixing and kneading = Combines ingredients and develops gluten Signup and view all the answers

Match the yeast bread process steps with their functions:

Fermentation/pushing up = Yeast acts on sugars to produce gas Punching down = Generates carbon dioxide gas and redistributes yeast Portioning = Divides dough into uniform pieces Proofing = Final rise of the yeast product before baking Signup and view all the answers
