8. What is Danish Paste? How is it produced? Provide the production steps for 4 different varieties of
Danish pastries:
Danish pastry is made of yeast-leavened dough of wheat flour, milk, eggs, sugar,
and large amounts of butter or margarine.
A yeast dough is rolled out thinly, covered with thin slices of butter between the layers of
dough, and then the dough is folded and rolled several times, creating 27 layers. If
necessary, the dough is chilled between folding’s to ease handling. The process of rolling,
buttering, folding, and chilling is repeated multiple times to create a multilayered dough that
becomes airy and crispy on the outside, but also rich and buttery.
Butter is the traditional fat used in Danish pastry, but in industrial production, less expensive
fats are often used, such as hydrogenated sunflower oil
II. Blend the yeast with the milk, stir in the beaten egg and mix with the flour and sugar.
Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is smooth and elastic.
III. Place the dough in a plastic bag and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
IV. Shape the butter into a flattened ball. Roll out the dough to a 12 inch (30 cm) square,
place the butter in the center and wrap the dough neatly around it, pinching the edges
well together.
V. Roll out the dough to a large rectangle about twice as long as it is wide. Fold the short
sides to the middle, then fold in half again. Seal the edges by pressing them together
with the rolling pin. Return the dough to the plastic bag and chill it for a further 10
minutes.
VII. Preheat the oven to 425° F (220° C). Roll out one-third of the pastry at a time, rolling each
third to a 9 inch (23 cm) square. Cut each square into nine 3 inch (7.5 cm) squares and brush
each with beaten egg before shaping and filling as desired
VIII. Place the prepared pastries on a greased baking tray and brush with beaten egg to
glaze. Leave in a warm place until well-risen and puffy.
IX. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until cooked and golden brown. Cool on a
wire rack, then decorate as desired. Serve the pastries cold.
1. Apricot Puff
1. Place an apricot half in the center of the dough square.
2. Cut a circle, the size of the apricot, from the center of a second square and place over the
first.
3. Brush the finished pastry with glace icing
2. Butterfly
1. Make a diagonal cut to ½ inch (1 cm) of the center from two opposite corners, forming
two triangles that are joined at the center.
2. Place a small teaspoonful of raisins in the middle of each triangle and fold the cut
corner over to the other. Press lightly to seal, then separate the triangles to form a
butterfly shape.
3. Decorate, when cooked, with glace icing and flaked almonds.
3. Cockscomb
1. Place a 3 inch (7.5 cm) roll of marzipan across the middle of the square and fold the dough
in half.
2. Press lightly to seal, then fray the edge by making cuts at ¼ inch (3 mm) intervals.
Bend the pastry back slightly so that the cuts spread out.
3. Brush the finished pastry with glace icing and sprinkle with flaked almonds.
4. Duchess
1. Cut a border, ½ inch (1 cm) wide in the square, leaving it intact at two opposite corners.
2. Fold the cut corners of the border over to the opposite corners of the central square.
3. Fill the center with fruit mince and brush the finished pastry with glace icing.
9. Explain processes which helps puff pastry to rise? How is this done correctly? Which techniques and
combinations should be used?
The light and flaky texture of pastry provides excellent eating. Various types can be produced for
different menu purposes. This type of pastry puffs up when cooked due to the alternating layers of fat
and dough created during production. This process is known as lamination and can be done in a
variety of ways, all of which involve folding and rolling the dough repeatedly.
For lighter textures and more lift a full puff is recommended whilst different production methods can
be used depending on the time available or the properties of the final product such as cheese twists.
Any finished pastry should be sold fresh or stored in airtight containers to retain its crispness.
The remaining 90% of the fat is referred to as roll-in fat. Work the roll-in fat with some flour and form
it into a block. Roll the pastry dough into a sheet, and do the same with the roll-in fat. Place the roll-in
fat in the centre, fold over the ends of the pastry dough and make the first turn. Then continue on with
the turns as normal.
10. List the ratio of ingredients and the preparation method of a Genoese sponge including points of care:
11. Provide 4 different examples with applications for products each, for sweet and savoury fillings, Icings
and toppings.
How are these fillings, icings and toppings prepared?
What must be considered when coating cakes with icing?
A coat is the first layer of buttercream icing — it is an extremely important step in decorating a cake. It
seals in the sponge, preventing it from drying out and, as its name suggests, it catches all of the
crumbs from the sponge and prevents a barrier so that your final icing will be perfectly clean and
crumb free. This process is easier if you have a turn table but don’t worry if not — you can turn the
cake around as you go, it just takes a little more time.
12. How will you set up and prepare the ice cream machine for use to ensure it is safe to operate, and is
correctly cleaned and sanitised?

14. What are the potential implications for customers who suffer from the following food allergies? What are
the legal implications for you as a chef if you fail to follow instructions for ingredients and preparation,
where you fail to ensure these are being met?
Allergy Implications
Legal Implications
Common food allergies include egg, cow’s milk, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, soy, wheat,
fish and shellfish. Many children will grow out of their food allergies, however those
allergies that continue into adulthood or develop during adulthood can be more serious.
The food industry in Australia is regulated by Food Standards Australia New Zealand
(FSANZ), an independent statutory body. This body produces the Food Standards Code,
which, among other things, sets out the labelling requirements for packaged and
unpackaged food.
An allergic reaction falls into the broader category of personal injury. A person who suffers
an allergic reaction may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim against
the food producer or service business. The claimant will need to prove that the actions or
negligence of the business caused their allergic reaction, leading to physical or
psychological harm. The responsibilities set out in the Food Standards Code will be
helpful when proving this.

Poaching Poaching is a cooking technique that involves cooking by submerging food in a
liquid, such as water, milk, stock or wine or in a tray Menu example – pears in
red wine Processes- Poaching the fruit in red wine syrup to add flavour, colour
and soften the texture.
Stewing Stewing is to simmer foods in a small amount of liquid. The liquid is then used as
a sauce. Menu example-Rhubarb Crumble Processes-Stewing the fruit to soften
it prior to encasing it in pastry
Braising Braising comes from the French verb braise. It is a technique that uses both dry
heat cooking and moist heat cooking. Menu example – Cider Braised Apples
Processes, - Braising the whole fruit to soften it and impart flavour. Reducing the
liquid to a syrup.
Grilling Grilling refers to food that is cooked by radiated heat with the heat coming from
either above or below Menu example -Bananas Grilled with Honey Processes -
Half the bananas, brush the cut side with lemon and honey and place onto the
grill bars with the cut side facing down. Finish on the unpeeled side until warmed
through
Steaming Steaming is a moist-heat method of cooking that works by boiling water which

Menu examples- Steamed Yeast Buns Processes- The yeast dough rises
through the addition of moisture and heat
Roasting Roasting is a cooking method that uses dry heat where hot air covers the food,
cooking it evenly on all sides with temperatures of at least 150 °C (300 °F) from
an open flame, oven, or other heat source. Menu examples- Roasted
Caramelised Chestnuts Processes- Roasting the nuts to remove the shell, the
caramel provides extra flavour and texture. Weigh for correct ratio.
Baking Baking method of cooking, the food is cooked using convection heating. The
food is put into an enclosed area where heat is then applied and the movement
of heat within the confined space, acts on the food that make it get cooked.
Menu examples- Profiteroles Processes- Preparing choux paste and pipe
correctly, fill with Diplomat cream. Weigh for correct ratio and sift for aeration.
