Module 4 L1 Principles of Food Preparation
Module 4 L1 Principles of Food Preparation
Introduction:
Hello my dear students! Welcome to Module 4, Lesson 1-Bread, this zyeast and
quick bread and also the defects and causes of poor quality Breads. Enjoy leaning students always
pray and God will bless you.
Activity:
Before you start reading the lesson answer first the following questions.
Analysis:
1. What is bread?
2. What are the kinds of yeast?
3. What are the ingredients of bread making?
4. What are the kinds of wheat bread?
Abstraction:
BREADS
Bread -is a baked staple food, basically made from flour, liquid and other ingredients.
Kinds of Breads
Ingredients:
a. Flour Bread flour, all-purpose flour or a combination of both may be used in making bread.
Flour with more gluten has an advantage in the stretching of the dough. This type of flour can
withstand extensive kneading, rolling and molding, processes that are used in handling the
bread dough.
b. Leavener. Yeast is the leavener that gives volume to the bread. Dried or compressed yeast is
used in bread making. Each one is first activated by combining water with sugar. Through
chemical reactions, the sugar is converted by the yeast into alcohol and carbon dioxide gas.
This gas gives volume to the bread when it is baked. This chemical reaction is called
fermentation.
Chemical leaveners (baking powder and baking soda) are used to raised quick breads or
biscuits. Like in yeast breads, carbon dioxide gas, release from these chemical leaveners, gives
volume to the breads.
Liquid
Other Ingredients:
Sugar
Acts as foods for the yeast during fermentation
Improves flavour of the bread
Gives colour to the crust
Salt
Gives desirable flavour to the bread
Controls period of fermentation: the more salt added, the longer the fermentation time, or
the “rising” of the dough. The absence of salt causes poor flavour and quick rising.
Filling or toppings may be placed in the bread. Choose one that will improve the general
characteristics of the bread. They must not make the bread compact, soggy or unattractive
Types of Yeast
a. Active dry yeast. This is dried and dormant yeast that has to be reactivated. It contains just
enough water within its cells to keep it alive. If you use this type of yeast, soften it first in the
required amount of water at 105 F, or lukewarm water. If you do not have a thermometer,
experience will show you that water hotter than lukewarm water will kill the yeast, and
cooler water will retard the fermentation process.
b. Compressed yeast. This type of yeast contains more water than active dry yeast. Less
amount of lukewarm water (80F) needed to activate it.

Multigrain Bread
Seemingly, not a lot of creativity went in to naming
multigrain bread, since it’s defined simply as bread
made from more than one grain. It can include flax,
oats, and barley, but be aware that even bread made
from wheat and a smidge of flour from a second grain
can be called multigrain. If you’re looking for dense,
hearty multigrain, which is terrific for sandwiches, be
sure to check the label.
Sourdough
Application:
__________________________2. This type of yeast contains more water than active dry yeast.
__________________________3. baked staple food, basically made from flour, liquid and other
ingredients.
Congratulations!
You did your best. Keep Fighting!
