UNIT 1 INTRODUCTION TO BAKING Ms. Joanna Mari L. Freo, MSc. Department of Food Technology College of Education  TOPIC OUTLINE I. History of Baking II. Definition of Baking Terms III. Purpose of Baking IV. Advantages and Disadvantages of Baking V. Overview of the Ingredients in Baking VI. Overview of the Principle of Baking JMLFREO  INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES ▪ Discuss the science behind baking and explain the important milestone that led to the development of bread and other bakery products. ▪ Distinguish basic baking ingredients to gain an understanding of their importance and function in baking. ▪ Explain the concept of baking science and technology by describing the various processes in baking to prevent problems and failures. JMLFREO  HISTORY OF BAKING EGYPTIANS GREEKS ROMANS AUGUSTUS MIDDLE EAST organized prepared more produced the and JULIUS AND NORTH production of than 50 kinds bread in large CAESAR AFRICA wheat of breads, all scale establishment baking as a baked in of public new closed ovens bakeshops profession was born JMLFREO  HISTORY OF BAKING AMERICA PROCOPIO DUBLAYERS 18th CENTURY 1790 influx of new opened the sold galettes the distinction the first school ingredients first ice cream and sweet between of baking (i.e., sugar and parlor bread in the bakers and opened its cocoa) street of Paris pastry makers doors in Paris become more clear JMLFREO  DEFINITION OF BAKING TERMS Bakery ▪ an establishment that produces or/and sells bread, pastries, cakes, biscuits, cookies, etc. ▪ an establishment that produces and sells flour-based food baked in an oven such as bread, cakes, pastries, and pies JMLFREO  DEFINITION OF BAKING TERMS Baking ▪ the cooking of food by dry heat in an oven in which the action of the dry convection heat is modified by steam ▪ the dry heat of baking changes the form of starches in the food and causes its outer surfaces to brown, giving it an attractive appearance and taste ▪ the browning is produced by the caramelization of sugars JMLFREO  DEFINITION OF BAKING TERMS Baking ▪ a method of preparing food that uses dry heat, normally in an oven, but can also be done in hot ashes, or on hot stones ▪ heat is progressively transferred from the surface of cakes, cookies, and bread to their center ▪ steam arises from the water content of the food and combines with the dry heat of the oven JMLFREO  DEFINITION OF BAKING TERMS Baker ▪ a person who prepares baked goods as a profession Pastry Chef ▪ a cook who specializes in making pastries, cakes, cookies, and desserts JMLFREO  CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD BAKER Passion and Good Able to work good numerical Creativity under pressure leadership skills Good Awareness of Reasonable Ability to work organizational safety and level of in a team skills hygiene rules physical fitness JMLFREO  CHANGES DURING BAKING ▪ the reactions in this kind of dough occur more rapidly ▪ baking powder and baking soda react with chemicals in the dough during heating to produce carbon dioxide ▪ the production of doughs by yeast tends to result in more flavor because it is a fermentation process JMLFREO  PURPOSE OF BAKING ▪ baking powder is the leavening agent used in most baked goods ▪ used to make the cake light, fluffy, and make the aerated crumb texture ▪ if baking powder is not used, the end product will be dense JMLFREO  PURPOSE OF BAKING ▪ refers primarily to the cooking of flour-based foods in which the heat of an oven sets their structures ▪ bread, cakes, muffins, and loaves are all cooked by exposing them to particular temperatures that firm each specific dough in the center, with just the right degree of browning on the outside JMLFREO  ADVANTAGES OF BAKING ▪ Cooking is meditative. ▪ A wide range of savory and sweet foods can be produced. ▪ Bakery products yield appetizing goods with eye appeal and mouth-watering. Thus, it stimulates the senses. ▪ Bulk cooking can be achieved with uniformity of color and degree of cooking. ▪ Baking ovens have an effective manual or automatic controls. ▪ There is a straightforward contact for loading and removal of items. ▪ Nourishing activities feel good. ▪ Make other people happy. JMLFREO  DISADVANTAGES OF BAKING ▪ Requires regular attention. ▪ Ovens are expensive to heat. JMLFREO  AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF BAKERY ▪ Establish and maintain high standards of sanitation. ▪ Exhibit a strong foundation of the baking methodology. ▪ Exhibit nutritional awareness and implement food-for-life principles. ▪ Plan production of product and purchase, cost, and price product for profit. ▪ Exhibit a solid foundation of techniques for food preparation, presentation, and service, including competence in baking and pastry production, line work, and basic grade management.
