2. Identify bakeshop equipment
List the 5 major ingredients in baking and their functions
List the various mixing methods

Identify the methods for making common,
Swiss, and Italian buttercreams
List the method for cake assembly
State some convenience products commonly used in the
bakeshop

6. Structure
Starch and protein
Gluten development
Color
Maillard browning
Caramelization
Flavor
Nutritional impact
Carbohydrates, etc
Flour Types
Cake Flour
AP Flour
Bread Flour
Flour
7. Sweetener
Color
Caramelization
Attracts moisture
Hygroscopic
Role in leavening
Moisture creates steam
Causes leavening
High sugar content in recipes usually means lighter doughs
– sugar holds moister
Flavor
Brown sugar vs. Honey vs. Corn syrup
Sugar
8. Moisturize
Traps moisture and extends shelf life
Flavor
Butter (flavor, tougher)
Lard
Shortening (stable, flakey)
Tenderizer
Inhibit gluten development
Leavener
Traps air and makes steam
Nutritional concerns
Vegetable fats vs. Animal fats vs. trans fats
Fat
9. Emulsifier
In creamed doughs and batters
Leavener
Air expands
(pate choux, sponge cake)
Moisture turns to steam
White = 90% water
Yolk = 50% water

Eggs

14. All ingredients combined at once
Typically used for bread dough
Well-method variation for quick breads
Add wet ingredients to sifted dry ingredients
Finish with melted fat
Several other variations based on end product
Straight Method
Delhindra/chefqtrainer.blogspot.com
15. Fat and sugar are creamed
Eggs slowly added
Dry and liquid ingredients are added alternately
Features mechanical leavening
Chemical leavening may also be used
All ingredients must be at room temperature
Potential for over mixing
Development of too much gluten
Creaming Method
Delhindra/chefqtrainer.blogspot.com
16. Beaten eggs
Separated yolks and whites
(egg white should be at room temp when whipped)
Heated whole eggs with sugar
Sifted dry ingredients are folded in
Melted fat (if any), folded in
Almost exclusively mechanical leavening
Potential for over mixing and toughening
Used for sponge cake
(sponge by their nature are dry – usually drizzle/brush/soak
the cut layers with flavored simple syrup)
Foaming Method
Delhindra/chefqtrainer.blogspot.com
17. Cold fat and flour are worked together
Walnut-size pieces
Flakey dough
Pea-size pieces
Mealy dough
Cold liquids added to bring dough together
Light kneading may occur
(DO NOT over mix – will form too much gluten)
Rubbing Method
Delhindra/chefqtrainer.blogspot.com
19. Whipped egg whites with sugar and flavorings – be careful of
over whipping
May include starch or ground nuts as an additional binder
Short working life
Treatment with acid (lemon or cream of tartar) or salt will aid in
whipping by making proteins stronger
Room temperature egg whites whip easier
VERY clean bowl & utensils
(wipe bowl with lemon juice or vinegar and rinse to make
sure there is no fat residue or impurities)
Meringues
Delhindra/chefqtrainer.blogspot.com
20. 1. Egg whites are beaten until frothy
2. Sugar is slowly added as the whites continue to whip to the
desired consistency
Meringue Method
Be aware of over-mixing
Finished meringues begins to degrade quickly
22. 1. Warm egg whites and sugar over a
hot water bath to 80 – 90 ºC
2. Once sugars dissolve in the
whites; whip to desired
consistency
Swiss Meringue
More stable than simple meringue
23. 2/3 cup; 170g, from 5 to 6 large eggs
255g lightly toasted sugar (Toasted sugar brings the
overall sweetness into balance, adding complexity of
flavor)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Scraped seeds from 1 split vanilla bean (optional)
Recipe Swiss Meringue
Delhindra/chefqtrainer.blogspot.com
24. 1. Sugar is cooked to a thick syrup
2. (116ºC – soft ball stage)
3. Add hot syrup to the whipping
meringue
4. Continue whipping until the
meringue is cool
Italian Meringue
Most stable, most difficult
25. 1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
4 fresh egg whites, from room
temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, lemon juice
from 1 lemon, or 1/2 lemon (see note)

28. Italian buttercream
Made using meringue, sweet butter, and flavorings
Generally made using an Italian or Swiss meringue
Relatively white in color and light mouth feel
Swiss buttercream
Made using cooked sugar, sweet butter, and flavorings
Simpler to make than Italian buttercream
Relatively white appearance and less light mouth-feel than
the Italian
French buttercream
Swiss buttercream plus whole eggs or egg yolks
Egg yolks make it richer and more yellow than Italian
American buttercream/ butter icing
Icing sugar and butter
Buttercream

Meringue-Based Buttercream Method
30. Must have proper consistency
Smooth and
Easily spreadable
No visible air pockets
Long shelf life under refrigeration
Needs strong distinct flavoring

33. 1. Slice a cake into three equal layers
2. Soak the sponge cake with flavored simple
syrup (be sure to use enough)
3. Spread the filling on the first layer
4. Add a second layer of cake
5. Repeat the procedure for the next layer
6. Finish with a layer of syrup soaked cake

chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that gives browned food its desirable flavor. Seared steaks, pan-fried dumplings, cookies (widely known in the United Kingdom as biscuits), breads, toasted marshmallows, and many other foods undergo this reaction. It is named after French chemist Louis-Camille Maillard, who first described it in 1912 while attempting to reproduce biological protein synthesis.[1][2]adah yg t
