Concept Notes:
Filipinos have strong taste of breads. Like rice, these baked products are important in the local dining table,
and are typically consumed for breakfast or snacks. Filipinos have grown to like different kinds of bread, from sweet
variants that satisfy their sweet tooth cravings to savory ones. Therefore, it is very important to learn the different
ingredients for the bread recipe.
A. FLOUR
Flour is a finely ground meal obtained by milling or grinding cereal grains or root crops. The flour commonly used in
baking is made from wheat.
TYPES OF FLOUR
1. Bread flour – Bread flour is made from hard wheat has enough good-quality gluten to make it ideal for yeast breads. Bread
flours typically range from 11 to 13.5% protein.
2. Cake flour – also known as soft flour since it is made from soft grinded wheat. It contains 7-9% protein content and is best
used for baking delicate and fine textured cakes.
3. All-purpose flour – also referred to as general or family flour used for all baking purposes. It is commonly substitute for bread
flour and cake flour and has 10-11% protein.
4. Pastry flour -Is also a weak or low-gluten flour, but it is slightly stronger than cake flour. It has the creamy white color of bread
flour rather than the pure white of cake flour. Pastry flour is used for pie dough and for some cookies, biscuits, and muffins.
Pastry flour has a protein content of about 9%.
Bread flour feels slightly coarse when rubbed between the fingers. If squeezed into a lump in the hand, it falls apart as
soon as the hand is opened. Its color is creamy white.
Cake flour feels very smooth and fine. It stays in a lump when squeezed in the hand. Its color is pure white.
Pastry flour feels smooth and fine, like cake flour, and can also be squeezed into lump. However, it has the creamy
color of bread flour, not the pure white color of cake flour.
B. SUGAR - Is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food.
TYPES OF SUGAR
Granulated sugar – is also termed as refined or white sugar.
Confectioners’ sugar – are ground to a fine powder and mixed with small amount of starch (about 3%) to prevent caking.
Brown sugar – is mostly sucrose (about 85 to 92%), but it also contains varying amounts of caramel, molasses, and other
impurities, which give its characteristics and flavor. Basically, it is regular cane sugar that has not been completely refined.
Molasses - Is concentrated sugarcane juice. Sulfured molasses is a by-product of sugar refining. It is the product that remains
after most of the sugar is extracted from cane juice. Unsulfured molasses is not a by-product but a specially manufactured sugar
product. It has a less bitter taste than sulfured molasses.
Molasses contains large amounts of sucrose and other sugars, including invert sugar. It also contains acids, moisture, and other
constituents that give it its flavor and color. Darker grades are stronger in flavor and contain less sugar than lighter grades.
Molasses retains moisture in baked goods and therefore prolongs freshness. Crisp cookies made with molasses can soften
quickly because the invert sugars absorb moisture from the air.
Glucose Corn Syrup - Glucose is the most common of the simple sugars (monosaccharides). In syrup form, it is an important
bakeshop ingredient. Glucose is usually manufactured from cornstarch.
C. SHORTENINGS - is a fat that increases the tenderness of a baked product by preventing the cohesion of gluten strands
during the mixing, thus gluten is shortened making product more tender.
Types of Shortenings
1. Butter – made our fatty proteins of milk, approximately contains 80% fat. This gives cake the flavor and aroma.
2. Margarine – made from vegetable fat churned with milk or cream.
3. Fats and Oils – made from plant products such as corn, cottonseeds, soybeans, peanuts and other.
4. Lard – provides a pleasing flavor especially to pie crusts, commonly from vegetable and animal fat.
5. Cocoa and Butter – primarily used for confectionery purposes. It is added to chocolates and icings to give a fine luster
to chocolates as well as increase the tenderness of icings.
D. EGGS - are important ingredient in baking. It is used in large quantity and more
expensive than many of the other high-volume ingredients, such as flour, sugar.
E. LEAVENING AGENTS – is a gas added or produce during mixing making the product lighter and porous. There are three
groups of leavening agents, namely: air, water vapor (steam), and carbon dioxide. Mechanical manipulation of flour
mixtures, such as creaming butter and sugar together, cutting in and folding in ingredients leaven the mixture by
incorporating air. Steaming also causes leavening effects.
F. LIQUIDS – may be plain water, milk or fruit juices. Uses of liquids in baking: provide moisture and reacts with flour to
form gluten, control consistency and dough temperatures, dissolves salt and sugar, suspends and distribute non-flour
ingredients evenly, and wets and swell starch to render baked products digestible.
ACTIVITY 1. Direction: Write the main ingredients in a small circles and the types/classifications of each ingredients in the big
circles.

A liquid measuring cup is best to use for liquid ingredients because it is clear and see through. It also has a spout that makes
pouring of liquids easy. To get the exact amount, follow these steps when measuring liquids.
Set up the liquid measuring cup. Place the measuring cup on a flat, even surface.
Pour the liquid carefully and slowly into the cup. Stop pouring when the liquid reaches the marker line for the desired
amount.
Check your measurement. Bend down so that your eyes level with the marker line. Look at the top of the liquid.

Cakes with fillings always seem to add a little extra to the treat. While there is a whole range of cake-filling recipes to
choose from is that the type of filling you use is stable enough. There are many cake filling types that can be used. There are
some points that should be taken into consideration when choosing a filling for a cake. Some of these points are listed below.
• Consider the flavour of the cake and be sure that the filling will complement the cake’s flavour.
• Consider the storage of the cake. Do not select a filling that requires refrigeration when it will not be possible to refrigerate the
cake because of its size
• If the cake will be expose to warm temperatures, do not choose a filling that will melt
Custard- Custard filling is a smooth, creamy type of filling like pudding. The custard is a cooked filling containing corn starch or
flour must be brought to a boil slowly, to prevent scorching and then boiled for at least a minute to thicken to its fullest. If it is
not boiled long enough, it may thin out when it cools. It can be flavoured with many different ingredients but the most common
are vanilla, lemon, and chocolate. A custard type filling should not be frozen.
Fruit- There are many fruits that can be cooked into a filling for cakes that will provide the cake with an extra special flavour.
Some of the common fruits used are strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, apricots, and rhubarb. When using fruit
fillings, a piping of frosting is applied n top of the layer around the outer edge of the cake o act as a dam to hold the added
between the layers but this type of cake should only be assembled within a few hours of eating it.
Frosting- Many times the same frosting used to frost the cakes is used for the filling between layers. This is a great way to add
flavour and moistness to the cake. Some of the common frosting types that are also used as fillings are butter cream, boiled,
cream cheese, whipped cream, and ganache. Cakes with frosting fillings should be stored according to the type of frosting being
used.
Jelly- Jelly, Jam, or preserve can be used to add an easy fruit flavoured filling to a cake. You can add flavour to the cake without
any additional preparation. When using jelly filling on a layer cake, use a piping of frosting around the edge of the layer to keep
the jelly, jam, or preserves confined and then select your favourite flavour and spread it on the layer inside the piped frosting.
Cakes with this type of filling can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days if the frosting can be stored at room
temperature.
Whipped Cream- A filling using whipped cream provides a light fluffy filling with a delicate flavour. Whipped creams are
sometimes stabilized by adding gelatine to make them hold up better. A cake with whipped cream filling should be refrigerated
and served the same day that it is made.
Glazes and Syrups - Glazes and syrups can also be used as fillings but will not provide for a filling with any thickness. They do
provide extra flavour and help seal in the moisture of the cake. The cake can be stored at room temperature hen the filling is a
glaze or syrup unless the cake or frosting requires refrigeration.
