A

*scaling
*mixing
*kneading
*first rising/fermentation
*knocking/punching down
*scaling, rounding, benching
*shaping
*proofing/final rising
*cooling

44
Q

Types of mixing methods *2x2

A

*straight dough - instant dry yeast added directly to dry ingredients
*sponging - active/cubed yeast is dissolved in lukewarm liquid > sugar and 1/2 flour is added

45
Q

Explain kneading *3
(steps for preparation of yeast dough)

A

*knead to develop gluten and distribute ingredients
*knead 5 mins mixer or 10 mins by hand
*knead on lightly floured surface

46
Q

Explain first rising/fermentation *3+2

A

*yeast activation = food (sugar) + moisture (liquid) and moderate heat
*heat let’s CO2 expand, bread rises
*alcohol evaporates during baking process
*place in greased container + cover up with wrap
*allow to rise til double the volume

47
Q

Explain Knocking/ punching down
(steps for preparation of yeast dough) *2

A

*dough is knocked to release CO2 and break large bubbles
*extra ingredients are now added

48
Q

Explain scaling, rounding and benching (steps for preparation of yeast dough) *3

A

*scaling - dough is weighted to give even size portion
*rounding - dough is shaped into round balls
*benching - dough is rested for 10-15 minutes to relax the gluten

49
Q

Explain shaping (steps for preparation of yeast dough)

A

Dough is shaped, paced on a baking sheet

50
Q

Explain proofing/final rising *2

A

*brush dough with water to prevent drying out
*cover with greased plastic, let is rise to double volume

51
Q

Explain baking (steps for preparation of yeast dough)

A

*place in centre of pre-heated oven

52
Q

Cooling (steps for preparation of yeast dough) *3

A

*turn out immediately to prevent sweating

- pita bread 220
*deep fry - vetkoek, doughnuts
*steam - dumplings, dombolo

54
Q

Name some effects of heat *min 3 max 6

A
