HELPFUL BAKING HINTS

Step 2: As the ingredients start to form a ball, scrape down sides of bowl with a plastic spatula then remove your dough.

CAUTION: Do not use the mixer near the edge of a counter or table top where there is a risk of falling off.

Step 3: Depending on what recipe you are preparing, manually kneading the dough may be required. Place dough onto a well floured surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic. This should take approximately 3-5 minutes depending on quantity.

Step 4: After kneading dough, place into a well greased, large mixing bowl. Place the bowl in a warm, draft-free area and cover with a clean dish towel. Allow dough to rest until it doubles in size.

Step 5: Plunge a fist into the centre of the risen dough to expel excess air. Then fold outer edges of dough into the centre several times. Remove dough from bowl onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 6: Place dough into baking tins, or cut and shape dough for making rolls, small loaves, or buns etc…

Step 7: Cover the dough with a clean dish towel and place in a warm, draft-free area till it rises. Then glaze the surface and bake.

Finishing Effects

Topping breads and buns:

1. Sprinkle loaves or buns with sesame, poppy, or caraway seeds before baking.

2. Drizzle shredded cheese on top of loaf

5 minutes before baking is over.

3. Sprinkle icing sugar on sweet buns or muffins after they have cooled.

Glazes:

1. Any time before or during baking glazes can be brushed on top of dough.

Before Baking:

1. For a shiny crust – brush top with cream or evaporated milk.

2. For a glossy crust – brush with beaten egg whites.

After Baking: For a matt finish, brush with melted butter or margarine.

Helpful Hints for a Successful

Cakes

1. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature and warm the bowl if weather is cold.

2. Add flavoring and essences to the shortening for a better flavor.

3. When creaming butter and sugar beat until light and creamy.

4. Beat whole egg until incorporated into batter before adding the next when more than one is required.

5. Divide flour and liquid into two portions and alternately add with the liquid on low speeds.

6. Cooking times and temperatures are meant only as a guide. Light mixtures should spring back when lightly touched and heavier cake mixes should be tested using a toothpick.

Fruit cakes should be tested using a small sharp knife. This should be done towards the end of the suggested cooking time.

Reasons for Poor Baking Results

Sponge cakes shrink-

Unbalanced ingredients, over beating egg whites, sudden changes in temperature or draught when removing from oven.

Cakes do not Rise-

Mainly due to over beating, but can also be caused by oven being to hot during the first part of cooking.

Centre of Cakes Sink-

Too much fat, raising agent, liquid or sugar; too little flour; under cooking or cooking too slowly.

Cakes Run Over Edges of Pans-

Overfilling cake pans, oven too cool, too much sugar, too much raising agent.

Hard Outer Crust-

Too much flour, too little sugar, over mixing, oven too hot.

Moist, Sticky Outside-

Too much sugar, over beating, under baking.

Coarse Crumbly Texture

Over beating, l ow baking temperatures.

Ingredients

Butter:

Butter is made up of approximately 80% milk fat (cream) and is churned over time to produce butter. Butter is a stabilizer that also adds texture and flavor. Butter comes salted or unsalted, it is best to use unsalted for cake batters. Clarified butter has the milk solids and salt removed making it ideal for pastry making as it can be heated to higher temperatures than regular butter.

NOTE: Margarine is a good substitute for butter. However because it is made from vegetable oils it may alter the end results.

There is a variety of margarines to choose from when diets are a concern.

Yeast:

Yeast is a raising agent used in doughs.

It is a microscopic living organism that grows rapidly in warm, moist conditions.

The yeast plant feeds on sugar and expels carbon dioxide which expands the gluten. Do not allow the water temperature to exceed 104 °F when foaming yeast, as this will kill the live yeast. It is best to foam yeast with temperatures between 79°F - 86 °F that are draft free.

Substitutes

If you need to substitute ingredients in a recipe, check the following alternatives:

1 cup self raising flour = 1 cup plain flour and 2 tsp baking powder

1 cup plain flour and 1 tsp baking

powder = ½ cup each of plain and self raising flour.

Sultanas = equal measure of any other dried fruit.

Golden Syrup = equal measure of molasses.

1 cup buttermilk = 1 cup fresh milk and

2 tsp vinegar of lemon juice.

Hints for Measuring Ingredients

A good recipe depends on correct and careful measurement of all ingredients.

All measurements of dry ingredients should be “leveled off” (scrape surface of a dry measuring cup with the flat end of a knife). Tapping the measuring cup lightly on a kitchen counter or table before leveling. If your dry ingredients has any lumps, make sure to remove or break them up prior to mixing.

HELPFUL BAKING HINTS

Raising Agents:

For best results pay attention to details.

Check for lumps and crush them if using baking soda before measuring. Ensure that yeast is fresh, and water is at the right temperature.

Cheese and Breadcrumbs:

Pack grated cheese and soft breadcrumbs into the cup pressing lightly to obtain best results.

Fats and Oils:

The easiest way to measure ingredients such as butter, margarine or shortening is to place ½ cup of water into a measuring cup then add margarine etc until the water level raises to the amount required minus the ½ cup water. Discard water after measuring.

Helpful Hints for a Successful

Dough

Preparing the Yeast

Step 1: For the dry yeast to be activated it needs to ferment.

To do this place warm milk, sugar and the tepid water into a bowl, add dry yeast and mix.

Let stand in a warm place until mixture starts foaming, ie: bubbles come to the surface.

This process will take approximately 10 minutes.

WARNING: Ensure that you do not overheat the milk or water as high temperatures kill the yeast.

Preparing the Dough

NOTE: Ensure dough hooks are properly in place.

Step 1: Place the dry ingredients into the mixer’s bowl and position onto the base locking the bowl.

Turn the speed control switch to “LOW”. Begin to gradually add the liquid ingredients to the bowl while mixer is on a low beater speed.

NOTE: Using a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl while mixing is helpful.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to feed the dough into the dough hooks with your hands, spatula or any other utensil while the mixer is operating.

HIGH-LOW Bowl

Speed Selector

TIP: Start mixing at slow speeds and increase speed gradually to prevent ingredients splashing out of the mixing bowl. When adding dry ingredients, particularly flour, lower the speed temporarily until ingredients are combined.

TIP: When kneading yeast doughs, use

‘LOW’ speed to achieve best results.
